They also seem to think that Amaurot is the only civilization, which is completely untrue. We have spend time in a recreation of ONE specific City and it's related buildings, and floating research facilities related to that city. People are ignoring the fact that Amaurot and it's civilization literally isn't the only one, the entire point of Azem was to travel between the civilizations as an ambassador. We don't know who or what those civilizations were, we don't know if they wore masks and robes, there could be a civilization that was outcast by Amaurot for not agreeing with their anti-individuality rules.

The devs don't even try and justify Venat and her sweeping decision to Sunder the world, but these people will try and justify Emet-Selch deciding that an entire 14 Worlds worth of Civilizations isn't worth it anymore because "They aren't as advanced and cool us as. Which y'know fair enough but let's look at all the major Ancients we've actually hung around with.

Emet-Selch - Decided that for the last 12k years, he would act as the sower of Chaos, bringing omnicide to people he felt unworthy of the star to bring back his people
Hermes - After learning that all Life out in the cosmos inevitably will be destroyed, puts a time limit on Humanity to see if they can improve and overcome Meteion's oncoming onslaught of Dynamis
Venat - Decided that Humanity was on a crash course after creating a literal BLOOD GOD (This one is important) to pure destruction, and sundred the world into 14, making them weak and susceptible to disease.
You notice something with all 3 of these major characters? They all decided they knew what was best for Humanity, yet people were so fixated on the sad grandpa that anybody else doing the same thing is completely unjustified. 2/4
