With that in mind, speaking up is precisely how such a thing can be salvaged or at least prevented from happening again.

I'd be a lot quieter if not for the weird gaslighting about it being the 'bEsT sToRy EvEr' when it concluded in a similar fashion to the Game of Thrones finale.
As I've said before some will love it. Some won't. Neither are wrong there. I've noticed you're very passive aggressive n mocking toward folk who are the former (ie people you don't agree with) though. "ThIs WhOlE bIt ThAt YoU oFtEn Do"...

End of the day we have no idea what their plans really were. Maybe they didn't see certain things working. Maybe they felt some things should be altered. Hell maybe some stuff sounded good but may not have worked in execution. A Garl expac may have sounded good, doesn't mean it would've been. Who knows. But as I've seen here from some, anything would've been better than EW.

I think the reason why this stuff gets pushback from folks is because these statements often lean heavy into the negative aspect. No nuance or even a peep of anything positive. Some see it as unfair crisitsm and I can't exactly blame them. For example ,"I may not like this story beat but I can say that aspect was good, maybe this needed some work due to xyz but this part here was done well". That doesn't seem to be offered here. It's just full sale EW sucks.
