    I've made the comparison in the past, and I'll make it again here. Endwalker is very similar to a modern Marvel movie in that it is completely reliant on the audience's ability and willingness to turn their brains off completely and to not think about anything at all. Unlike previous expansions, if you use even a few brain cells to think about it, Endwalker's story completely implodes.
    I tend to find that with the way things are at the moment, the harsh complexities we all have to deal with ( that isnt you, of course, you're "awesome"...LMFAO ), in case it had escaped you, people go to movies like that so they can step away from the never ending drumbeat of the eternal news cycle, the worries they have at home in order to put a roof over their heads, feed their families, get some respite from the stress of their work, it doesnt surprise me that movies like Marvel do so well when you consider the alternatives.

    Maybe, one day a long time from now, when you finally grow up and see what adult responsibility is, you will finally understand.

    Maybe. I doubt it, but one can hope.

    Endwalkers story, as a direct contrast to your own jaded viewpoint, has been acclaimed universally. That you personally dont like it we can see every single day..one actually wonders if you hate the game this much what the hell you are still doing here. All I ever see you do is dump on the game, the devs, the classes, nothing ever seems to meet your lofty "standards"..yet here you still are.

    On a related note, XIVTwitter is like the wild fucking west. Or Middle School, actually. At least I haven't gotten detention—oh wait.
    Smartest move is to just get rid of it .

    All of it.

    Your mental health and outlook will improve markedly once you accept that Twitter, like most if not all social media, is a festering, roiling cesspit that even Obi-Wan Kenobi would struggle to describe without resorting to language that would melt paint at 1000 yards.

    I dont use any of it. I dont have any of it. Reddit, Facebook, Insta..the lot.

    Do yourself a huge favour and delete it all.

    Except they aren't anymore. Marvel films are starting to lose their steam, making less and less money every year, with some of them even losing money. All that only a few years after they decided to abandon all logic and reason for the sake of drivel made so simple you could show it to a toddler and they'd understand it.

    Did you not see me make an entire thread saying that everything in 6.4 was either meh or good outside of the horrendous balance changes? Did you not see me say that P10S is an A tier raid, only barely kept from S tier because of one mechanic that was kind of cringe? Did you not see my thread where I went over the 6.4 live letter, and had an entire third of it dedicated to things I liked? I was also planning on making a thread rating all of the Pandaemonium raids, with some of the Anabaseios ones ranking pretty highly. I just have to get around to clearing P12S p2 before I post that one, I've been taking that last fight slower than I did with the first three. (Plus, Party Finder for 12 is horrendous)

    If you haven't seen any of those I listed, then maybe consider looking at things I have said before assuming I can't be pleased. If you have, you're just lying.

    Just because I don't have my standards buried six feet under like you have yours, doesn't mean I've launched mine to outer space.

    You'd think that someone who supposedly was one of the people warning the WoW community about it's impending downfall would understand the idea of not just shoveling filth down your throat because Blizzard/SE put it on your plate. I'm starting to think you were lying to me about that.

    Thank you for noticing the username my dad made for me years ago. It is indeed very childish and cringe. I probably wouldn't have let him pick my username if I wasn't terrible at coming up with names myself, and I'd change it if I could now. However, pointing it out doesn't really do anything to support your argument other than show that you didn't really have one to begin with.
