Who knew the 6.15 Omega Quests… (Spoilers)

Except that she had information with which they could have prevented the final days and didn't share it. not even with Emet. I could have understood not sharing it with the convocation at large, but not sharing it with Emet whom though he might not have believed it at first would still have investigated and acted on it [as proven by his actions leading up to Ktisis] is something that is a hard sell for me to forgive.

Edit to add: It's also why our inaction prior to leaving Elpis bothers me so much. I would have been screaming from mountaintops what was coming so that they could have acted, even if it would have meant my erasure. "To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom, it is indolence" is a tenet I take quite seriously, both in game and IRL, and that we weren't allowed to save the Ancients when we could have conceivably done so is horrific to me.

And as I've mentioned multiple times now: going to Emet would have been the worst idea, because he's the one guy we're absolutely sure would have ruined everything. Hermes is needed in the seat of Fandaniel to protect against the End of Days, and also needs to be generally mentally well and unaware that he caused the bloody thing to remain on-task. Telling Emet-Selch would lead him to breaking both of those things; not only is he gonna get in the way of Hermes' appointment, but he's gonna make it damn clear about why. And we know that because we saw him do all of that when he learned it all the first time. We actually don't want him to investigate it, because him investigating it caused this mess. As to 'doing more in Elpis': remember the mechanics of time traverl in this universe. Making too much of a change creates a new timeline and orphans your old; if you were screaming from the mountaintops, not only do you go, so does everyone that was counting on you. And... again, because of the 'Hermes Needs To Help' factor, you probably can't even help.

Again, I think I understand where you're coming from; you believe in helping your fellow man, and for that reason you think Zodiark's sacrifices were the right choice. And I think what you're doing is trying to make yourself happy with that choice; to simplify it by making Venat worse, by making the problem avoidable. To take away the greys and shadows of where you landed, so that you can be completely okay with it.
