I have not done either of those things. You, however, have not supported your arguments, and instead just move goalposts and make stuff up.You keep saying that, but you haven't actually responded to any of them beyond yelling "LIAR!" and wildly claiming I must have some secret evil personal motive to do so.

That is completely irrational. One doesnt follow from the other.The fact that the immediate response to criticism of Exandria is to claim critics are acting in bad faith based on absolutely nothing is another reason people should avoid it.
It also isnt accurate to the discussion, because no one is doing that. I and others are challenging you based on how you are arguing, not the fact that you are critical of Exandria. Notice how you are the only person who is getting that response, while other critics are being replied to with an assumption of good faith.
Okay? No one is doing that, that i can see.And bashing other settings doesn't make Exandria look better, it just makes the Exandria fandom look worse.
So it is bad because it is different from an existing setting but also because it isn't unique enough. Ooookay.No? Not sure how you got that from my comment.
I'm saying Exandria's delving into topics it doesn't seem interested in dealing with and uses "That's for DMs to decide" as a cop-out and war is one of them.
To contrast in Eberron the DMs are given the motives of the various factions involved in previous wars and likely reasons for new ones that will break out. And if war doesn't break out there are still numerous ways the possible causes of war can still affect PC adventures.
As far as I can tell Eberron fans (myself included) like that. And since Exandria insists on having/insists it has a similar "Setting on the brink" situation but doesn't do that I'm criticizing it for that reason.
But mostly this complaint breaks down to Exandria having less detail than a 20+ year old setting with dozens of books of information. I play in Eberron, i run it, i follow Keith online and have had many discussions with him. i would never base a recomendation to use Eberron on the level of detail. New DMs to a setting just need one book. The rest can come later, if ever.
