There is already more agency for the WoL in the Raid content that in all the MSQ combined.
Apologies for repeating something I've said before, but it's certainly relevant in this context.

I didn't hate Dawntrail, personally. I actually enjoyed it for the most part. However, as you've said, it did feel like any moment the Warrior of Light could've been more relevant to the plot was downplayed. And, in my opinion, the very worst offender in this respect was the dialogue at the start of the Interphos trial, where Queen Eternal identifies us as "the single greatest threat". And honestly? I thought the first half of that fight was awesome.... until the whole thing was ruined by the total contradiction of that "single greatest threat" statement - namely having Wuk Lamat appear midway through the fight and present us with a unnecessary 'here I come to save the day!' moment.
The worst element of it all was that it didn't actually change anything and took the wind out of the sails of the fight (for me at least). And worst of all? Narratively, it didn't really make a difference - all we got was a "I won't change my mind" moment and then Wuk Lamat turning Super Saiyan, demoting us into her little helpers.

It really annoyed me - I'd love to know why the hell the writers couldn't sideline Wuk Lamat just once, particularly considering Queen Eternal's opening statement!
