I do agree there. I get that they're the writers, and can pick the direction and tone of the story, and that for the last 2-ish years the world has been full of very real conflict and war so we're all looking for an escape... But there's no reason for the kind of randomness in the stories. Thank goodness the racism in the original Auraboa story was addressed, I enjoyed the newer version much more and actually liked the fact that it was longer and more involved. I really hope that for Dusthides and Everlux, since a better writing team and review process is in place, they'll choose to include more lore-relevant content instead of "cute quick internet story" content.

And, yes, please, more beastclans! I want to learn more about the dryads and the serthis and the longnecks, just, all of them. I agree that it fleshes out the world really well, especially as the team works to reduce the ways in which the content was problematic before.
