There is a pretty extensive solution that was posted to Reddit a few days ago that appears to use correct methodology (though they assumed a 50% win rate). I’ll run their code on my machine in a minute and see what the result is with a 51% win rate.
EDIT: Results:
Assuming 10 minutes/game and a 51% win rate, if you play 40 hours/week you have a 65% chance of making it to legendary within one season.
Expected Number of games to advance through each tier:
Amber → Emerald: 30 Games
Emerald → Sapphire: 140 games, 170 games total
Sapphire → Ruby: 140 games, 310 games total
Ruby → Diamond: 640 games, 950 games total
Diamond → Legendary: 840 games, 1770 games total

Sorry, it’s on the Adelbern Page. My bad.

I think the kicker for me regarding the Charr was them holding Gwen as a slave. The adorable little girl who you give a flute to was presumed dead after the Searing and that was absolutely heartbreaking.
The Charr NPCs don’t really do anything to endear themselves to me either. They brag about the war and taking slaves and conquering and pillaging and that just makes me like them less. (I could post links but that has been done in threads ad naseum).
Also, the Foefire has some rather conflicting stories. From the wiki page: “The Claw clashed with Magdaer, Adelbern’s sword, and caused a spark of power that engulfed the land for leagues around. This event became known as the Foefire. The charr accounts offer an alternate version of the events. Rather than fighting to the death, his forces retreated from the city, leaving their king behind. In his rage and despair, Adelbern struck the ground with Magdaer, producing the immense burst of energy now referred to as the Foefire.”
In answer to the original question posed by the thread, the conflict feels personal because I identified with my Prophecies character more than my others and I identified with the story more, despite starting with Factions.
