Dawntrail Negativity Burnout [7.0]

This will get downvoted. I don't care anymore.

I am not the first to post about this, but I'll do it again anyway. To this day there are still videos / posts coming out about how Wuk Lamat is the worst thing to have happened to the game, or that Dawntrail is the worst expansion, and so many people are vehemently against talking positively about it. Several times have I seen posts of even new players entering the expansion get drowned by comments about how awful 7.0 is and how they should just skip it etc. You look down in comments of people who have positive things to say about the expansion and it's even more negativity. It's actually tiring to still be talking about this in circles and feel like the odd one out if you actually do enjoy the expansion (which many do, but others claim you won't!).

It's actually even worse on the Lodestone forums but that's been the case since Endwalker.

I am very concerned that Dawntrail is going to become another Stormblood, more in the sense that new players are going to come along and hear about how awful the expansion is and not feel motivated to push through it. I've had several friends hesitate on coming back because they've seen the negative reviews and have only heard awful things. Potential new opinions are going to be tarnished ahead of time, and people will not be able to fairly judge the expansion (the opposite effect could occur if you overhype Heavensward or Shadowbringers as well). I wish people could do better in that regard.

I enjoyed Dawntrail, that's okay. Others didn't enjoy Dawntrail, that's also okay. Would that it ended there, but it doesn't as I've had many go against what I've said, or claim that I've made things up in trying to give my opinion on the expansion. I don't know how things became this deranged.

There's not much more to be said, I'll reply to any comments here, I'm willing to have discussions too. But ultimately this is just a rant for how tiresome this is becoming. I wish people would give it a rest and let it be for the sake of newcomers or those who had a decent time.
