Exactly. The less expectations you build up about this place, the less disappointed you'll be when things inevitably fail to happen the way you wanted. You will lose people, you will get hit with curses you don't like, and sometimes you'll be forced into fights because whatever wacky monster it is this time decided it was a grand idea to come harass a bunch of people in a bubble. Or up on the island, but it's the same difference in the end.
