Just my thoughts I don't really get on the forums often but I thought to give it a shot.
For those that keep saying there's always some humor of funnies in between the serious evens sure I there is.
In HW you had a serious story about the dragonsong war and then there was the offset of the moogles giving some levity
In SB you had the War between garleans and Doma and Ala mhigo and then you had some of set with the Namazu
In SHB you had the story about the first (and its heavy moments) and as offset you had the Dwarven Beast tribes who where more on the silly and funny side.
And that is totally fine a good healthy balance. But the overall tone was always on a more serious note..
But if I look at EW in general and now also the post patches
The MSQ itself felt like the pacing went all over the place its full gas one moment (serious stuff) then full handbrake the next(silly and humor)
It felt in general a lot more jarring then in the previous years. But initially I went fine seems the aim is "feels" to end their epic saga so be it. (and this was already testing my patience as it was but I managed because I was used to having it level out in the post patches as it normally does..)
But now looking at 6.3 there's just more and more 'levity' and silliness being pilled on top without any serious stuff off setting it.
and no the current MSQ atm is not fulfilling that job either that one also tipped to the point of cringiness for me that I cant take it any seriously at the moment
The alliance raid just has the weird anime feel to it now, add in bunnies, also more hildibrand stuff piled on top(because they decided to tie it to relics) and nothing semi serious to offset it.
The new patch split ups since EW don't help either its a lot more drip feeding then they did before.. which for me ironically makes it even more glaring because you now get everything handed to you in such tiny condensed bite sized to be consumed content
it even sticks out more.
For me right now it just feels like I am in the middle of some Carebear/my Little pony episode (don't get me wrong I loved watching those shows when I was a child)
But the scale is just tilting way to much to one side atm its becoming uncanny.
I am not the type that gets easily upset,angry or irritated, but the bucket just seems to flow over at this point.
for 6.1 end 6.2 I gave it a shot. 6.3 was literately the first time since I started playing in 2.0 where I just pressed the button and ended up speed reading the dialogs as fast as I could (which ended up cutting of most of the VA voices) in both MSQ and Alliance Raid.
I am still hoping it will start tipping back again with 6.4 and onward but ill guess ill see.
On a last note as far as I remember community forums are for all people to discuss their views and concerns. And yes not everyone will always be on a same page(frankly would be damn scary if it was the case), we are all individuals with our own views and morals. I am not sure why people feel the need to retort to insults or trying to shut the conversation down the moment a view of someone doesn't align with your own.
