I will concede that Eastern Orthodox has less issues than the main Catholic church. However, even though they don't believe in a pope, they still have issues.
If every Catholic prays 50 hail Marys per day, that's 70 billion prayers per day made to Mary. 47 million prayers per minute, 780,000 prayers per second. To believe Mary could do such a thing is to hold her to be omnipotent.
Even if Mary only heard Eastern Orthodox prayers, that's 8 million prayers per minute.
Only God is omnipotent. Praying to saints or Mary wasn't a thing specified to be done in the 66 canonical books.
In God's kingdom he has help.
