All the recent interviews are so tone deaf. All of them. Every single one. It actually makes me worried.

Somehow literally none of the feedback from the past years has been understood it seems. None of the current feedback is understood. "Wuk Lamat is not confident enough" is NOT the takeaway! "Seems like players can't manage a second with the entire cast of scions breathing down their necks" is NOT the takeaway! "7.0 was a testing ground for character arks, and uhh, idk, players not happy for some reason" when Krile/Erenville get 5 minutes of screen time is NOT the takeaway!

This is all the same crap as the viper changes. "We're listening to feedback." What feedback? Where? Literally nobody is giving you this feedback, not in a single country, language, social media, etc.

I really hope they manage to get back on track somehow and start monitoring feedback properly. My copium for 8.0 improvements is starting to run out, I feel like they'll do something even more stupid next expac. Like idk, send the WoL and only Wuk Lamat to Meracydia, act like "look, you didn't want scions and we were playing with the idea of sending WoL alone, but that would be too much, so here! Enjoy! Also she's more confident now! And all the cool shit we put into side quests, the MSQ is literally just talking and fetching stuff for Wuk Lamat!"
