"Oh, I read this book, the translation is fine, why do people keep saying the translation is shit?"

Because things that cost money are held to a higher standard than things that don't cost money. Because what's fine for a fan translation is a shitty professional translation. This is how things that cost money work. I don't know how many times I need to say this for you to understand. Nobody's calling the official translation shitty here, we're calling it mediocre or fine, and saying that that's not good enough for an $80 product.

So... it's not the actual translation that has y'all mad? It's the $$$...

It's BOTH. Bloody hell how thick can you be. No wonder you find mediocre translations stellar if this is you level of reading comprehension.
Again, slowly, just for you:
A free fan translation that is mediocre or not great - okay because it's free.
A fairly costly official translation that is equally mediocre or worse and also sometimes plain incorrect - not okay because you're expected to pay MONEY for it.

And:

When a fairly costly official translation that is equally mediocre or worse and also sometimes plain incorrect causes every other existing fan translation to be pulled-- even even the parts that haven't been officially translated yet: Even worse because now all you're left with is the mediocre or worse translation that is sometimes flat out incorrect with no other options at all.

If you can even get your hands on the official copy which is another issue people in several countries have.
