Which is obviously Venat/Hydealyn and the Sundering as said before, and even then the biggest issue is primarily the literal last 10-20 minutes of Elpis. And Honestly you can kinda see the threads of differing ideas at times if you wanna tinfoil hat slightly, as someone earlier noted on how they could've gone with the Elidibus thing and have Venat not really know who she was anymore. You could argue if there is a trace element of that maybe when Hydealyn had to take a moment to remember the WoL again, which feels a bit odd considering Hydealyns earlier appearance on the boat to sharlayan and the varying messages she does through Krile.

Honestly I feel like some of the apparent pushback outside of the character/story issues is just due to how tight and well written Shadowbringers was, the moment you went to the first it immediately layed out rules and justifications for currency, travel between worlds and several other things in a incredibly tightly well written way, so the sloppiness of parts of Endwalker stand out a lot
I think it’s also the fact yknow, this is the ending expansion for a 10+ year arc, and it was delayed heavily. People probably thought they’d be getting the money’s worth and a semi coherent story. What we got was basically a story that the devs were tired of and just tried to wrap things up incredibly quickly with barely any acknowledgement and the loose threads are plentiful.
