As OP I do not share everybody’s hatred toward Trahearne. No do I understand the source of so passionate hatred. In fact I like that character and was really worried that he might end up killed like other NPC I got used to through the story.
However there is one thing that probably helped me to develop my sympathy towards Trahearne: my first lvl 80 was Sylvari. Even more – there is one particular background where Trahearne comes at very beginning, and I happed to chose that one.
If you do the same, the whole story feels very natural, fluid and logical. Question “who is this guy and what is he even doing in my story” never comes to mind – he is there all the way. He is as part of the story as Caithe or Pale Tree itself.
When I finished the story it felt like the end was absolutely correct, even as the only possible outcome. Nothing bothered me about the story. But right now I am in the middle of the Human story and I might agree that from perspective of another race Trahearne’s involvement is not as understandable as it is for Sylvari. Not shocking either but less obvious.
You do have to really pay attention to every dialog to get that importance of Trahearne if you play for another race.
