Forgive me for being a little abrasive here, but I promise you with absolute certainty that nobody here is that concerned about making sure you keep paying, or convincing you to fall in love with any particular culture. Where it starts to go into "strange" territory was the insistence that you could speak for the wants of the majority of players based on baffling and frankly, fallacious arguments.

All anyone here, or anywhere else, can do, is speak for themselves. I can post here in an attempt to convey to the team, and to others, how I felt about the story of Endwalker, and if that resonates with anyone, or clarifies anything, to someone who reads that post - one way or another, positive or negative - that's great and all I can ask for. When I say I absolutely loved Ronka and its aesthetic - I actually gasped and gushed about how beautiful I found the locale of the Rak'tika Greatwood and all its trappings when first playing Shadowbringers - I know I am only speaking for myself. G'raha Tia is not my favorite character either - and I like Hien far less - but I can acknowledge that I'm in the minority in those regards without asserting that most people definitely agree with me, and the devs had therefore better listen on those grounds.
