I mean my tastes have been aligned with success and failure given how I've been proven right on exploratory content, the handling of gender-locked races, so on and so on. Me being proven right is a common trend. Am I supposed to retract this?

I do not trust the current writing direction to properly handle more exotic locales after how badly they dropped the ball in Ala Mhigo. I would rather they play it safe with the next expansion's location - which after how Endwalker turned out would be a massive improvement, but instead we are taking the 10 year old cast into...the Void. Lovely.
