I get the idealistic notion of wanting to discuss topics like this, but this is not the forum for such discussions.
And it did unfortunately take this long for my idealistic, clueless self to notice this. I saw how vile things were and still thought I could try and give my honest thoughts. I "fell for the bait" or whatever by wanting to have an adult conversation about an issue I had in a game I've loved for years.

I haven't been on this forum in years and I am very disappointed by it, but I am trying not to bring my opinion on the community as a whole down. I met some very lovely people at Fanfest and I want to see them as more emblematic of the community as opposed to a lot of the people I've seen in these threads.

I agree the title for this thread is ridiculous. Saying that a character that has been in the game for less than a full patch is now the worst character ever is insane. As a character, Wuk Lamat isn't even that bad. She's just ARR Yda, basically. I have reinstated my personal criticism many times at this point but I actually enjoy the character herself so far. I still have hope for the game and even its community - I imagine these threads will die down in time. It's just a shame they were so hateful.
