Kiel is the new Kormir/Trahearne

Citat:

Shiren.9532
For those who don't know, Kormir is the 6th human god, but she wasn't always a god. She was once an allied NPC of the player in GW1 who let the player do all the work while she received the ultimate reward. If you'd like to know more, this video explains it all:

Or you could just vote for Gnashblade and see it for yourself when he unlocks it as a fractal.

I don't think I need to explain to anyone who Trahearne is.

So we run around on Southsun getting barrel rolled by karka and dodging mines in Canache's layer only for Kiel to arrive once the work is all done and take the credit for all our work and taking praise from Magnus.

Then we run around finding the murder suspects and working with Marjory to solve the mystery of the Dragon Bash to once again see Kiel steal the credit.

Finally we invade the Aetherblade Retreat and take down the pirates and stop their ship from escaping (while Kiel talks nonsense about needing us to jump up a bunch of platforms to unlock a door for her, she is absolutely useless - remember Rox and Braham in the Molten Facility? Those guys were helpful). At the end of it all, pirates we defeated leave behind their ship, but it's not handed to us. Kiel gets it. Once again, the NPC gets the rewards for the player's hard earned work. To add insult to injury, based off the foundation of the player's hard work, Kiel is put in the running for the Captain's Council while we run around waiting for the next thing she is going to take the credit for.

It's great that Kiel wants to put a discount on WP costs, that's really useful for people who don't have an air ship to fly around in. It's a real shame the player didn't just defeat a bunch of pirates who owned an air ship, that could come in real handy as an alternative to WPs.

With Kiel's track record I don't care who her opponent is. Anything is better than supporting the legacy of the third coming of Kormir. Well, maybe Trahearne isn't better.
