What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Its honestly only here on the official forums where the hate seems to be more concentrated. Reddit, YouTube and every Facebook page I'm subscribed to seems to love it. Hell, it's still at 91% critical rating and 94% user rating on Metacritic (and one of the user scores is actually a mistake where he gave it a zero but praised the entire game).

Just gonna point out that some of the worst MMOs and expansions in gaming history were wildly praised at release and then later listed as one of the worst things ever.

Case in point: WoW's Warlords of Draenor. At release people were raving about how it was the best expansion the game had yet had. A small portion of the playerbase disagreed and were generally ripped to shreds by those who adored it as the best MMO expansion in the history of the world.

And then reality eventually caught up with that expansion and it became known as the worst MMO expansion ever made.

People who complained about WoD usually say it's because of the lack of content as the expansion progresses. They still think the leveling and initial patch was great.

We're talking about the .0 MSQ, which is not changing. If people end up changing their minds about liking Endwalker as an expansion as a whole, it won't be because of the .0 story because that would've already been factored into their initial impression.
