What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

If you want the official forums to be an Endwalker hate echo chamber... I mean... I guess that's fine, so long as you recognize it for what it is.

Even if it is, would it matter? The forums are also a housing hate echo chamber. It's a healing one-button-rotation hate echo chamber. If a thread on the forums has to become an echo chamber to give these people solace or get a point across, then I don't have a problem with it.

I saw a thread wanting more effort from people. I go to discussion subreddit and someone was explaining that one of their friends won't stop healing on red mage to "help" the healers. The subreddit is known to be more critical than the other ones, but even the response is "it's not savage, don't worry about it". Anywhere off the forums and being critical with anything about the game will usually result a vast majority of people defending the game.

There's also the fact that a lot of criticism about the game is initially labeled as trolling. Even a well known streamer took a look at this thread's title and called it trolling. It kind of sucks. It sucks the housing situation seems to have no end. It sucks that healers are no longer multi tasking and are reduced to spamming one button for 80% of the encounter. It sucks that hrothgar waited patiently for new hairstyles only to be given the option to turn into earrless Karens years later. The developers can do better. I feel the writers can do better than what we got in Endwalker.
