This seems a very reductive and, honestly, disingenuous characterization of the reasons many people have elaborated on why they have a problem with the story writing.

It's understandable that some people identified more with the immortal, beautiful, perfect ancients than the sundered, who stand in for the players - imperfect people with imperfect lives full of struggle and sorrow in equal measure to their success and joy.
Uh huh.
