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.
I don't get the logic here. The thread was started as a place to vent about grievances with the story. There were a lot of pages where people discussed what did and didn't work as well as a section where people posted re-writes as a fun thought experiment. Does there need to always be praise for the criticism to be legitimate?
