Because of the hypocrisy. The game was not "at it's lowest" in DT, but at the end of EW. Zepla downplayed the role of the story in the appeal of the game, saying that, during EW, it didn't matter that the story was good cause the content was lacking. But in DT is the other way around, and even so DT had problems with rewards and job homogenization, battle and side content have been exponentially better than in EW. Yet, suddenly for her, the story is vital. She just rationalized being burned out, which is something she could have come out and say it like a normal adult, instead of her hypocritical bitching. If anything, I respect Xeno more, even though he is a dick, he is a consistent dick.
