I love the Magic lore so far and love reading the Magic stories. I also love to come here to this forum to read more about these stories as there are a lot of people on this forum who know way more about the lore then I do and I learn from it.
However, lately the storyline threads [Set name] General Discussion is more and more about how people dislike the story, PW's are mary sues, WotC can't write properly, meta analysis of the quality of writing etc which is, quite frankly, kind of off putting. I had hoped this would end when the HOU story ended, but already the Ixalan discussion thread is 20% about the actual story and 80% continuation of the same old negativity, while the first story isn't even out yet!
So I ask / propose that the mods create (a) separate thread or threads for analysis and opinions of WotC writing/storytelling skills and declare that stuff off-topic for the storyline threads so these can actually focus on the actual story at hand. It would at least greatly increase my enjoyment of reading those threads when the negativity is avoidable.
