I think Elidibus so far is an amazing villain, he has the power to really take care of us whenever he wants (which is a lot considering how incredibly strong we are...), but he doesn`t, he needs us in some way probably so... He just encourages us enough to rise up to his schemes and grow, probably to use us later.

The problem here is, that we are not mere heroes, not even overpowered heroes, we are borderline gods at this point, nothing is really threatening to us as saviors made flesh of this land. The Warriors of Darkness are my hope for that to change, for the Warrior of Light to be defeated finally and be brought to his knees, and for it to start all over. Because heavensward was not about US losing it all, we just came to a new land that needed our light to be guided in our role of near omnipotent savior... So, is hard for anything to look like a challenge when we are basically ironclad in plot armor and we wield the sword of deus machina. That is what has to stop. The Warrior of Light has to be defeated.

As long as we keep being this perfect, invincible, godlike powered, blessed, etc, etc, etc. No enemy will really look like a good enemy.
