Is anyon else tired of Ascians story?

Yes, since 2.0 nearly every major plot in the main story had Ascians behind it. And it always got resolved one way, we have to defeat them. There is no middle ground to be won or compromises to be made, either it's you (and the entire world) or them. I was really hoping we won't see either of their faces for a while after the big climax in 5.3 but here we are with yet another clown. Yes his antics are great, like a "refined Hildibrand", very theatrical, but give me a break!
Honestly, I'd like to see more political intrigue that can't be resolved with us stepping in and just eliminating the other side. And it gets pretty boring that it always ends that way.
More plots like 5.4 Limsa, although I feel that was resolved way too easily. And everything that has been going on in the side story with the "milk drinker".

Ascians had nothing to do with the Dragonsong war at all. Lahabrea and Igeyorhm were involved in Thordan's scheme, but Thordan was the one using them and they weren't behind the conflicts origins. And the climaxes in both 3.0 and 3.3 deal with Ishgard and the Dragons, not them.

I feel like not being behind the main events of 3.0 is a pretty big whole in the idea that there behind "everything".
