This should have been obvious since the patches when they completely failed to set up a premise for even visiting Tural outside "we have nothing better to do".

The thing is, people cling to a handful of very high moments the team has pulled off, mostly in 6.0 and 5.0, and then overrate them as they can do no wrong, when the writers egularly do wrong every expansion.

That's not to say the OP is a waste of time or anything. It's just worth considering when things in the story don't make sense, when lore is screwed, etc it's because the writing team simply doesn't care. Seems obvious. They think combat and graphics will satisfy you enough to coast on vibes
To be fair, it also doesn't help that a lot of the community has this toxic positivity "The devs can do no wrong" attitude.

Personally, I'm willing to overlook flaws in the writing if the overall experience is fun, but this MSQ was kind of like having your face shoved in some dung and having to pretend you enjoyed it, and there's tons of morons who'll go "Oh! The dung was so lovely! I loved shoving my face in it!" so it's not like SE has all that much incentive to see things changed.

Being overly negative (Like with the OW2 community) has its own issues, but being overly positive just leads to stagnation and a revolving door of players, which is what we're feeling right now.
