The Ancients still deserved better, after everything

Except he acknowledged there was the possibility in changing the past, it would erase their timeline. This was something both him and Ironworks acknowledged but went through with it anyways. Why is it any different for the ancients? As for defeating Meteion, im not sure how many times i tneeds to be said, Venat had knowledge on it all. All she had to do was tell the ancients the truth, and almost undoubtedly within 12k years they could come up with a solution. If you really think a race that has strived in high intelligence and debate wouldnt be able to eventually defeat Meteion after thousands of years....i dont know what to say. To me thats being willfully obtuse.

Not to mention we arent even completely sundered. We're what, 9/14? Thats only 5 shards away from being fully rejoined. Yet we have 0 problems manipulating dynamis. So either the writing is absolute shoddy on dynamis, dynamis just immediately stops being manipulated once you hit number 12 or 13 or whatever, or its just something that needs to be investigated and honed by the ancients, something they had thousands of years to do.In the end though, its pretty sad to see they wrote themselves in such a corner by making the ancients so powerful they had to come up with an asspull excuse to try and weaken them. Not sure how anyone can find that as good writing.

Except they didn't. If that were true Hydaeyln herself would've defeated Meteion without our intervention and she was more powerful than any Ascian. On top of that we had great difficulty convincing Emet-Selch about the Final Days. Without any kind of proof Venat would've been ignored and shamed for trying to make herself out to be a hero of her people and our pleas would've gone unheard. Meteion was gone, there was no sign of her and Hermes's memories had been wiped, so there was no evidence for our claims that she had travelled to the far ends of the universe to bring a plague of death.

G'raha's travel back into the past wasn't one that he would be returning to the future at any point. His reason was to ensure that his timeline never happened so that people including the Warrior of Light didn't die. As I mentioned earlier if we went into the past and stopped the Ancients from dying out or being sundered then we would be unable to return to our timeline as we would've severed ourselves from it and have created an alternate one where we never existed. The Ancients would've had no means to stop Meteion other than to wait out the inevitable over thousands of years. Having not experienced life through hardships they would not have been able to defeat Meteion. It was through our struggles as sundered beings and yet fighting foward with hope for a better tomorrow that a field of Elpis flowers bloomed at Meteion's feet, correcting her judgement that there was no hope in living and that all life was doomed to end miserably and with resent.
