The Warrior of Kindness (Spoiler)

uuuh what.

Light is not evil, nor is Darkness. Too much of either is bad but not necessairly "evil". They have stated before Shadowbringers (in Heavensward actually) that neither are evil but too much of either is very dangerous and will corrupt life.

I don't feel it's nice to blame SE for your your prejudices regarding Light and Darkness and how one of them "has" to be evil. I wish people would inherently stop giving moral concepts to Light and Darkness. Guess what. They aren't people so morality shouldn't apply to it. They are technically energy.

You don't go around saying electricity is evil now do you? It can be dangerous yes but it doesn't get out of its way to kill your family for the giggles now, does it?

I think this only happens because unti now the Ascians which are the ones that are mostly using darkness are evil in our view, while we who mostly go with Hydaelyn and thus the Light are doing good things. Maybe they should have mixed that up before to show that Light and Darkness have nothing to do with good and bad. But even in this expansion we still use light to do good and its even our blessing that saves the world. Unlike the trailer that makes it seem like we are truly using darkness to fight the Light, we dont do that ingame. So I can see how people are disappointed by that. I never believed that we would turn evil at all and kinda was shaking my head at those that wanted to switch side or something.

sure, but we aren't in their same situation either.

They believed that to save their world they had to kill ours

While we believed that to save ours we had to save theirs

They did not come to our world to kill our world but to start the calamity which then would have been enough to rejoin their shard with the source. This would have lead to a huge amount of death and the destruction and complete death of the shard, but at that time they believed (thanks to the Ascians) that this was the only way. They of course still made the mistake (unknowingly) that nearly destroyed their world and wanted to save at least some souls by causing huge destruction but saw their mistakes, while certain other enemies simply dont care at all.
