The Competence of the Antivan Crows; Overhyped Bandits, or Incorrect Portrayal?

I entirely agree that the Crows are just one shitty organisation among many that exploit the ordinary people for the benefit of the ruling elite. If Solas' plan was simply to nuke the status quo (much like he did with the Evanuris) I'd probably go along with it, although I admit that, as with the elves, it would probably result in a lot of unnecessary bloodshed of ordinary people during the civil strife that followed, with just another equally oppressive and exploitative regime assuming power at the end of it.

My objection to the Warden plot was not that they would not be capable of such action as an organisation because clearly they do regard stopping the Blight as taking precedence over anything else. In fact I do share Solas' view that there must be better ways of dealing with the threat than infecting your recruits with the taint, particularly when the world is not actually in the throws of a Blight, so the justification that this is necessary to destroy the Arch-demon doesn't really apply.

What I objected to was the fact that they were all so incredibly stupid that they didn't question why everyone started hearing the Calling, when apparently they knew that the two remaining Arch-demons were still deep underground, and why they immediately trusted Erimond and his idea to head into the Deep Roads to kill them with an "army" of demons. Had this never been suggested in the past if they knew where they were located? Could it be that it had been considered but the impossibility of reaching them with such limited numbers was an impediment to its success? Did they really think that bolstering their numbers with a small number of demons would make any difference? (bearing in mind it would seem only the small number of Warden mages could summon and control them). What did they think would happen if the mage controlling the demon was killed? The main objection to this idea, though, was the fact that, as I say above, they knew they weren't in a Blight because the Arch-demons were still underground, so why the panic? Wardens are constantly hearing the Calling and dying off between Blights and yet somehow the Order has survived down the years. Either send or, better still, travel to Warden HQ to find out if their experience was universal and what their leadership think they should do about it. Instead, they follow the lead of some random dude who just happens to show up and, let's face it, whose demeanor just shrieked untrustworthy. Could they not have had him portrayed as at least giving the impression he was genuinely concerned and having the sort of charm and charisma that could have one them over? This was a problem with a lot of those working with Corypheus; they were generally unlikable or smarmy and it was hard to imagine why people would be taken in by them.
