I'm just confused about the discourse part tbh. The expansion is doing poorly. Like EW is aight, wish Zero has as much development of Yotsuyu, wish Relics were more fun, wish Critireon and Variant dingeons had better rewards, wish things weren't so samey, wish raids weren't so samey. Like even with all those complaints I wouldn't say it's a huge deal. The reality is simple, more people are becoming aware of the flwas this game has and just wants it to be better because they love this game.

To say it's discourse or being reductive is an over-exaggeration, ignoring peoples valid feelings, and ultimately just being self centered. The game is still fun, but it can and should be more fun, the same can be said for literally EVERY online game in this decade.
