Power Fantasy [[Spoilers]]

People really out here like they A) aren't following the story or B) not experienced with JRPGs.

It's hard to believe people come up with so uninformed opinions so...consistently.

Yes, but that usually marks the end of the story. Problem is, this is an MMO with no endpoint.

We've killed all the Primals, the beast men version of gods

We've killed Z & H, the Ascians version of gods

And it's pretty much a given that the EW Alliance Raids will have us thrash The Twelve™, man's version of gods.

Where do you go?

Literally, you don't have the blessing of light anymore now that Hydaelyn is gone. Meaning while you may be at the very least be above average, you aren't necessarily a God.

If you ask me, the creation of those warding amulets is a narrating ploy to potentially cover the fact that the WoL is not auto protected from primal summonings anymore. You can put regular big bads again and narratively, it still makes sense. You can narratively power scale a character back which they have already done. They even reduced you contextually to the "traveler" or "adventurer". You aren't really considered the WoL either.

1. HW dealt with not having Hydaelyn's protection in the blessing of light. We've always been a well above average human and after SHB we are the most rejoined human among the population pushing us that much higher.
2. We are still protected from tempering as it is the echo that protects us not the blessing of light. The amulets simply allows trusts to be able to encounter primals in dungeons such as the magus sisters and anima.
3. There has been no scaling back of power so far. The new raids literally still battling ancients and creatures that can bind and corrupt the ancients.

Ignoring the part of you sounding like a condescending ****.

No one cares how JRPGs work. If you nerf everyone's character in an MMO, many will quit. No one cares what JRPG fanboys think.
