People like me, huh? Again, it's just how stories work.
Did Endwalker start with Meteion trying to destroy the universe? No.
Did ARR start with a certain lala getting poisoned? No. Was Ala Mhigo liberated at the end or the beginning of SB? You see what I'm getting at? All these scenarios have in common that they needed build-up to make what was happening meaningful in context. Why do you think is that? I'm really not sure what people are expecting from the very first trailer.

By the same token do I not understand people who are... uh... distraught by EW having ended a big story arc. That's literally what happens in every book, movie, video game or play with a story that has ever existed. If people react so strongly then I'd question if they ever read a book before.

That being said, I'm happy we are going back from saving the actual universe to something more grounded. It's getting kinda silly at this point. I like Nihilism as much as the next WoL but I think one expansion is enough for now. But that's just me.
