Also…it doesn’t matter what she said. People died because she refused to tell them the truth. More people died because of the sundering. If the ancients had been able to combat Meteion with venat’s knowledge, then she spilled an immense amount of blood for no reason other than she lost hope in her people….in an expansion where one of the main themes is not losing hope, and something she of all people preaches constantly.
Yeah, the entire thing sort of collapses in on itself with enough thought. But a lot of that came from having to write a story for an MMORPG. In order to make some of the more reasonable choices they'd have had to redesign the entire game afterwards to reflect the changes that would have been (potentially) made if Venat HAD come out and said "Look guys, we've got a problem. AND DON'T ARGUE WITH ME, EMET. YOU'VE HAD YOUR MEMORY SCRUBBED!" Something like this could have been done to some degree in a one-off or even a double game/trilogy single player RPG, but it'd be near impossible to do with an MMO that relies on repetitive grinds (like every MMO, really) and a consistent game world requiring only minor changes when the need arises. That is why it doesn't make sense. It just...can't by default, for lack of a better word.
