Oh, it's certainly underdone, and there's a distinctly passive-aggressive swipe at the fans feel to it. But all of these comments about how there should have been a way to win in it and shock that there isn't just have me baffled, particularly since this is one case where the game is actually sticking to the rules it established earlier.

And I thought it was always pretty clear that your military force was ultimately a meat shield. Look how many War Assets are solely described in terms of contributing to the Crucible's construction.

One can certainly question the decision to have a war-winning macguffin in the first place, but the surprise that if you don't use it, you don't win the war is very confusing to me.
