People are getting hella triggered over this it's kind of funny.
I agree that the Mire wasn't optimally put into the game, and what seemed to be an afterthought in comparison to the Academy arc. There have been plenty of monster/create factions before so I don't see why a similar thing could not have been done again? Labeling them as ECs, but not really, and then making it public was a horrible mistake. They were presented as ECs but had the accessibility of PCs (As in anyone can make into them).
I'm not sure why the Shadowmire tilts everyone, being the edgy monster yeehaw is kind of appealing to newer players for some reason so it makes sense that newer, less experienced players choose it (A horrible, horrible, mistake.) However, why all the hate? Most, if not all, of the high-RPL monsters are amazing fun to RP with and exist solely for the creation of RP and dev for those outside of the Mire. You can't start hating on an entire faction because of OOC experience/poor handling when added to the game. The players are doing what they can, with what they have. Also, I also don't think it was possible to put in a PUBLIC race and not expect them to form some sort of faction together.
I agree that most monsters should be locked behind an app wall. However, I do think there should be at least 1 public race that people can make into. Be it Mutant but nerfed or w.e. The Shadowmire tries to push a story internally and externally to the entire population of the game. I don't think there are many players that can say that they haven't had an interaction with the Mire, be it good or bad. Yet from what I see? It's mostly all good for dev/story progression.
Adversity as a whole? I think the skill is kind of broken, and heavily misused by some of the Mutants in the Mire. Just because a skill is hard to use, doesn't mean it's bad.
