Anyway, far be it from me to take away or attempt to improve Alphinaud in order to make him more palatable, or follow other basic principles of storytelling that weren’t adhered to this expansion. I suppose another decade of Alphinaud attempting to play diplomat, making a mess of things, and then coming away unscathed will make for a better story than anything I could ever come up with.
You still operate on this assumption that your way, wants and views are the be all end all. Your "course correction" bit makes this plain as day and honestly at this point its just down right pathetic. Also that whole "this happened with WoW" bit holds little weight here. This isn't WoW, nor are the devs or the playerbase the same as the WoW one. Trying to use fearmonger tactics basically insinuating the game is gonna die like WoW apparently has isn't going to sway people. Also the whole Aphi "playing diplomat and making a mess" (which id personally call it him taking after his father) didn't happen in EW. If anything it worked out amazingly. Did we lose 2 people due to it? Yes but they made thier own choice not to take the help so you lost me there as well.

At this point you need to focus on other games that will give you what you want. Game isn't dying because you decide not to play, trust me
