That's like saying "I'd really like it if Ul'dah made a complete 180 from what has been established from 2.0's storylines onward."
At the same time I really want Gridania to stop being racist as fuck but you know that's not about to happen.
To be fair, it is a new leader. There's not a better time than now to pull a 180.
Reveal that Lolo's been undermining the other members of the Syndicate. Reveal that he's working and putting effort into taking back the Ala Mhigan front. He'll have no funded rivals, he'll have overwhelming support of the people. The man can cloak-and-dagger his way into being the most loved person in the nation with a little elbow grease. Behind the scenes, he can sleep in a Scrooge McDuck vault of money and royal treasures while also getting the refugee scum out of his city.
The problem is that would be an ass pull of such immense proportions that it'd completely wreck any suspended disbelief the storyline might have left at this point.
The man has been established as a ruthless person who outright puts people out of business for the lulz (CUL questline).
It'd be about as much a 180 as Merlwyb actually taking care of her problems with the beast tribes diplomatically without fucking them over or Gridania in general deciding to war with the elementals.
