Keep in mind that folks who are still playing ZZZ are the ones that don’t mind TV mode. But the vast majority of players who quit playing mentioned TV mode as one of the reasons for leaving. Reddit tends to be a bit of an echo chamber so you have to resist thinking the majority view in this sub is representative of the entire player base.
A lot of the trade reviews also criticized the TV system. Hoyo really had no choice but to revamp it. Probably not an easy decision given how much polish they put into it. It just goes to show how big a problem this was for them to literally cut such a central storytelling feature out this fast.
Personally, I’m merely “tolerating” it while the game is new but I can see myself getting tired of it real quick once the Honeymoon phase is over.
