This is awesome, you're insane.
If people dont get it, doesnt that mean you failed as writer to convey it?

The answer is always, "it depends." Some folks can miss details or subtext that was there. Other times a writer infers something that's too great a leap or leaves out important info. Every situation--and player interpretation--is different. And I think that's fine.

How dare they! /s

For all intents and purposes, Yeah thats what im saying. Theres a few npcs around, but for how the city is presented, its basically abandoned. There should be hundreds of npcs visible in any given area, instead its predominantly empty space.
its a ghost town, and as a result its uninteresting and boring. Why are there no automatic skiffs moving cargo around for example? who are all those rivers for? or bridges? I get that the coders you have today are far less competent than the people that worked for arenanet in 2012 and you have to deal with it, but reality is that their incompetence resulted in you having to limit the amount of visible mobs, and as a result the city feels dead.

And part of this is your fault as well - You could've worked around this with a story reason, perhaps the jade started decaying and somehow became toxic to people, Or some bullsh*t that explained why most people are indoors, but nope. the loading screen has more people on it than any actual area once you load in.
You're making a lot of false assumptions about my colleagues, and quite frankly you don't seem to know much about how games are made. That's OK! I wouldn't expect you to. But I can't figure out why you've decided to channel your energy into this discussion in this way. So I will take my leave now. Good day.
Why did it say meet with Taimi though, I think it’s a bug.

If it said to meet with Taimi, that's a bug.
Hmm, I'm not sure if there's videos yet, but the only thing that genuinely threw me off about Chul-Moo being there is that he suddenly knew about Cinder and there didn't seem to be any indication as to how he found out, but maybe I did miss something in that regard? Of course if they traveled together it would make sense they spoke about the subject before we got there, but I think that flew past many (including mine) heads; especially cause we never saw that talk happen. Though I will say this is an issue I personally face every now and then with the story, where I feel like I missed a step somewhere or I find myself thinking "wow, things are progressing faster than I expected".
The character stories themselves were quite clear I feel, I personally liked them. Chul-Moo and his (english) voice actor in particular were really good.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, we didn't explicitly call that out but the implication is that Chul-Moo heard about the Commander's past events offscreen. I could see why someone might bump on that.
