    It's not just a few people. There were also polls where Wuk was among the least-liked characters even in Japan. It's failed writing all around.

    If you think the above you haven't been paying attention. Which is fine - but it's wrong to draw conclusions it's just a few people here.

    Definitely not a good look when a character is being put front and center in a new expansion and the character can't even break into the Top 10 of the Japanese fan poll. I think even Wuk Evu took a Top 10 spot.

    It's pretty embarrassing. They really thought making her the lead, and by an overwhelming amount of screen time compared to everyone else, was going to result in her having way more fans than she actually does. They wrote her to have a very strong personality, it's just it's strong in ways most people find off-putting. Really missed the mark.

    In 7.1 she seems to have lost a lot of that personality and she's becoming more of a flat character. I can't tell if that's really a win or not.

    The Chinese community did a most liked/disliked poll with ~10k participants, and Wuk won most disliked with over 70% of the vote. I think Sphene and Zoraal Ja took second and third.

    There are literally millions of players in this game. I don't think 300 people in a forum and an internet poll count as a majority. Loud voices don't mean "most of the people."

    Are there though? SE won't release actual numbers only their promotional numbers which are far from accurate for the total currently subbed population and the estimates ppl gather from achievements and what not beg to differ. Just because you want something to be true, doesn't make it true.
