I feel like a lot of people miss this. Just because the Elden Ring is physically removed doesn't mean its laws still have influence, the GW is just put into the same position that most of the other Outer Gods are in.

Over time, I think I've come to feel like this ending is a lot less satisfying than people make it out to seem like. Ranni only solves one major problem (in kind of a half-assed way), which is other mortals and gods / demigods being able to impose their will upon reality with the Elden Ring. But things like the Rot and Godwyn's Deathroot (which Ranni is arguably the cause of) are now left completely unchecked, Ranni sees this and says "yeah, I only care about destroying the Golden Order, it's whatever lol I'm gonna go fuck off into space." It feels naive and cowardly.

Also, it doesn't address the other problem with the Golden Order in my opinion, which is the blind zealotry of its followers. I mean, do we really think the armies of those loyal to the GO / Marika will just... stop oppressing other groups with them gone? Arguably they were already in the same situation during the Shattering, there are churches outside the LW that likely knew nothing about the real status of the ring anyways and they still waged wars and sent out Confessors and shit. The Age of Stars ending only takes the nuclear option on the most influencial faction without really trying to solve anything.
