The way they're handling the empire since 5.0 has been extremely disappointing tbqh. More so than all the interesting hooks they completely BOTCHED from 1.0's lore, either wrapping them up with "well, calamity!" or just downplaying their importance to almost nothing.
The fact Bozja was also rushed as hell doesn't surprise me.

Yeah honestly this is why i’m just probably going to leave after 6.0. I came for the story and to see them just not really respect it and throw things away is immensely frustrating. Along with the fact that content just seems to keep downgrading over time. A lot of the things people are asking in here really shouldn’t be so difficult to implement but for SE it is.
