This is an mmorpg, we are the WoL and therefore we decide who we are, the WoL is not some independent character so from my perspective it makes absolute sense to join Emet Selch.

Another thing people forget is that they keep talking about "genocide" while Emet Selch did say that by perpetuating this farce you are only causing more destruction and suffering overall than just one quick worldwide snap destruction and that is a fact, the overall suffering and destruction would be far less if the Ancients were able to return by causing those rejoinings and that says a lot.


And how about the Ancients? Seems to me that people have completely forgotten and chose to justify the genocide of the ancients at the hands of Hydaelin which destroyed their entire civilization which was objectively superior, immortality, ability to create concepts, those are objectively superior traits and you cant argue against that.
It is like being a god and then turned into a mere mortal without any special powers, that is literal degradation.

So what we have now is people defending the genocide of the ancients and perpetuating a far worse and inferior world that is filled with destruction and suffering.

It would be similar like real life, the planet and species are a disaster, yet people due to their attachment would be willing to protect this war ridden planet(and not referring to just the current popular one) that might soon be uninhabitable due to climate change rather than see it gone to bring back an objectively superior world, because again, the ancients are not some delusional people like some IRL people who obsess over "le good old days", the ancients were objectively superior so you would be arguing against a better world simply because you are used to this disaster of a world.

And let's be honest, it is illogical to assume that Ancients wouldnt have figured out the problem considering how research focused they were and how zodiarc protected the planet for literally thousands of years and would for many more.
