It has come to my conclusion that for "us" to get the endings we want, it is clear for us to not download the Extended Cut DLC.
Think about it, there are going to put a vast amount of time (maybe a little effort on the side) to make these [satisfying closure cut scenes] for us.
In order for us to truly be "heard" by Bioware and (get what "we really want"), we need to neglect what they are about to put in front of us.
They are practically saying "here take this DLC Extended Cut so we can get on with our lives". Which will mostly guaranteed lead to another massive ragefest of fans and players of the ME trilogy.
Pass this on to other people, pass it on to the RetakeMassEffectMovement, etc.
If you really want [satisfying] endings this is how you will do it.
Small problem.
If you don't play through what they've offered, you cut your own legs out from under yourself to complain with any credibility going forward.

Them: "Did you play the new DLC?"
Retake: "No... I just knew it wouldn't."

Retake: "No, I actually listened to what you guys said, unlike you. I heard you say that you aren't going to change the ending. That everything is going to be exactly the same, and you're just expanding on it. What you aren't hearing is that the ending is fundamentally broken. That the plot holes are symply a symptom of bad storytelling. You broke every rule of writing good literature. You don't introduce a new character 5 minutes before the end of your story. You don't make that character the magical 'get out of jail free' card, handing the solution to the hero on a silver platter. You don't replace your story's protagonist with a new character that you just introduced in the last five minutes. You don't turn your current protagonist into a plot device for your new pet protagonist to decide which solution to do, like some game of eeney meeney. You don't replace your central themes and plot from the past 150 hours with some ridiculous premise (which you've already disproven) in the last 5 minutes. And you don't deny the fans that have put in hundreds of hours to do everything 'right' their chance at a successful happy ending, just because you listened to some emo-teenager and think that the only way you can make good art is if it's 'bittersweet'."
Them: "Huh, oh sorry, we were too busy congratulating ourselves on our artistic brilliance to hear what you said. Lalalalalala."
