People are all so bored of the game and playing BG3

It's also pretty normal to look at what other options in the industry are doing because there's always things that businesses can learn from each other.

And we know they do that. But what works well for one game isn't guaranteed to work well in another, especially when they're different genres.

What the MSQ needs for a change is an over-the-top evil to the core antagonist. No suddenly revealed backstory about how they were abused as children or were just trying to save their people. No moralizing, no shades of grey. Just downright unwilling to negotiate villainous. I think the only time we got that was the Sorrows of Werlyt and it was that nature that probably made the quest line so impactful for many players. While complex antagonists are also good, sometimes it's nice to have a plain villain to sink your teeth into and be able to hate without someone trying to convince you you're wrong for hating them.

Yes, I'm pretty tired of the Wol/Azem worship

So don't worship them.

The Azem worship doesn't even exist in the game's story. That's been manufactured by part of the player base. The NPCs who knew Azem would tell you that Azem is spelled T R O U B L E.

As for the WoL worship, that's what happens when you end up a celebrity. The WoL is too well known in Eorzea and a few other parts of the world. The worship should die out in Dawntrail since there should be very few in the New World with knowledge of the WoL.
