Meh. I don’t even hate Scarlet (in fact, she rather cracks me up), but the desire to connect her to all of Tyria’s dirty deeds is starting to offend the crap out of me.
Nothing personal, LS guys … I know you’re probably worked to the bone, what with the timeframe on this stuff, but it’s got to come to a head soon. Either she needs to straight-up annihilate someone we -the players- care about, be revealed as the unwitting stooge of a greater evil, or be removed from the chessboard.
Please, give us something that makes the girl worth paying more attention to. Hell, I don’t even care if she turns out to be possessed somehow by an Elder Dragon (or some other form of Eldritch Abomination) … it’s something that explains her hyper-intellect and ability to get disparate factions of adversaries to work together in concert.
Another suggestion, for future villains (or even heroes in LS installments) is to actually plant their background story in game. Trickle a bit here, a dash there … bam! You’ve
explained the “major” aspects of their personality and motives. A short story on the website doesn’t honestly work, you kind of have to presume most folks aren’t reading
that. Thus the need for direct in-game clarification/exposition.

No thank you. If I were a fan of subscription-based gaming, there are plenty of other options still out there. I’d like to think many of our current p-base possess a similar opinion. Not to mention, the current B2P/microtransaction model makes it a lot easier to -say- leave for a bit, and then come back in.
