I agree with many things you said in your OP Miku, sometimes i have no idea where these changes pop up from, it seems we hear nothing for ages then BAM take this new trait system, oh and by the way we are going to alter your skill bars.
I missed the first living story as i hadn’t joined the game then, i just don’t understand why it could not be implimented then the way it is now where you can still get it later if you miss it. Dungeons aren’t my thing so can’t comment on the bugs personally but have seen you battle with them on stream many times.
On another note Miku,Twitch have stated that they will not mute music in live streams while broadcasting it, even if they had the technology to do so but you are not allowed to make a recording of it, so your music will be muted for playback.
As a lover of your music selection i can understand why you are saddened by it.
