Sudden? I know giving those whose status was, for many years, strictly RP (Marauder and Ranger) their own rites and TP systems, and otherwise treating them as viable alternatives to Jena/Ma'Duk that were not handicaps the way Neutral is threw a lot of folks. It seems that many are still all, "How dare the devs treat the non-binary as equal to us!". But if treating those who choose a path other than either Jena or Ma'Duk with respect derailed the story then maybe the story needed to be derailed as it was headed someplace worse than where we are now.
I don't know how you get "Cholorogoo are aligned with Karavan" or "same interest in the goo", but that might be me not sharing your bias. The Chlorogoo are independent, and their reasons for studying Goo are different from why the Karavan does it. As for the goo-studying tribes that actually are Karavan, it's a little more complicated, but the simple version is that the Karavan will support any tribe who wants to help them study how best to defeat Goo. Of course, that support automatically earns the enmity of the Kami because... umm... reasons? (It's silly to me as I expected that those who claim to seek to save Atys from Goo would be less hostile towards those who also seek to save Atys from Goo, but I suppose giving arbitrary reasons to hate each other is more important than saving the rootball or it's inhabitants :/) In any event, the Rangers see both Karavan and Kami as sharing a common goal when it comes to protecting Atys from Goo. And wondering how the Trykers still tolerate Karavan altars in their cities simply because a criminal of questionable sanity was a member of a tribe that assists the Karavan in their research is such a stretch that it borders on satire.
In any event, it's exactly that sort of thing that has lead to many rejecting the false dichotomy and going Mara/Ranger even before they were given rites and teleports. You cannot have progress without change, so I must wonder is those who are against change really want progress at all, or whether they simply want to turn the clock back to 2006 and live in a time-loop.
