After Dawntrails abject Failure of a Story, there need to be serious Consequences

[honest_psycho]

A lot of Wuk Lamat's interaction with Sphene is about empathy, something a lot of the community doesn't understand, so I can see why a lot of people wouldn't be able to appreciate it.

Ah yes, another enlightened poet who thinks all the haters are jsut too stupid to understand.

If she is a Mary Sue, what does that make the Warrior of Light?

Another person answered that question very well:

The difference here is that the WoL is the PLAYER CHARACTER.

As an NPC they would also be hated.
Wuk Lamat is a talking NPC that takes the spot of a silent stand in for the player, the exact same spot.
Be it bonding with NPC‘s, overcoming the odds or be in the middle of the action.
She comes in and pushes the player character out without leaving them anything.

Wuk Lamats problem is that she is written as the MC player character in a game that already has that character for many years now.

What annoys people is that their character is left with absolutely nothing. No role, no agenda, no reason.
DT is a Wuk Lamat show in an MMORPG sidelining the player character.

You can like that and be happy with that, all fine.
But don’t act like those of us who actually care about our characters and are miffed about that change in direction are in the wrong for that.
