I legit started reading the bottom two paragraphs to be cool and edgy, and 
(then I read the top two. I lost the game)
Agreed.
See I think that’s what I enjoy most about the war, or at least some sort of faction conflict, and why I advocate for it. I kind of enjoy playing around with subjective morality, especially in character. It doesn’t take a complex moral position to attack the Lich King, or Deathwing, etc. But the war… from an RP perspective it can be quite fun justifying it in your character’s head. Or outright opposing it. There’s room for a complex range of moral positions, there’s room for characters to be very flawed, influenced by their obvious biases. MoP and BFA were my favourite expansions to RP in for this reason. (I dodged the Kor’kron drama. I was newish to the server and pretty much exclusively Alliance at the time, so I’m not trying to downplay that sh*tstorm but there were genuinely some nice moments)
For instance, Sarestha here claims to be a very good person. A Paladin of Lordaeron, living life according to the Three Virtues of the Light. But when it came to the war, her nationalistic view of Forsaken sovereignty overrode her morals. The blighting of Southshore? That was necessary - Stormwind-backed aggressors sought to use it as a launch point for invasion. To protect the integrity of Lordaeron, a decisive strike, followed by salted earth, was necessary. Years later she had deeply mixed feelings about Teldrassil but her devotion to the Banshee Queen made her justify it in her head - well, a protracted occupation would have likely been hard on the night elves AND our own forces. What we did was a mercy killing. You get the idea. In Sarestha’s head she’s a good person, with clear justifications for her immoral acts. Yet… in reality, there’s a dark, twisted, fanatical side to her that brings out the absolute worst.
On allyside I had, among other characters, Harronar, a High Elf hunter. (Back when we had to play them on humans with fancy hairstyles 
) He was a MoP inspiration; despising what had become of his people he was a firmly devoted member of the Silver Covenant. In his mind there was no difference between the actions of Kael’thas and Lor’themar. Both took the fel. Both aligned with enemies of Quel’thalas. And the situation with the Divine Bell was the last straw - the “sin’dorei” had made it clear that they were no better than Wretched, and their decision to hide behind their new Sunwell and pretend to ignore the atrocities of the past was mere cowardice. They are fel-corrupted enemies, like Wretched. They must be put down like Wretched. And so he was (and is I guess though I don’t really play him anymore) particularly adversarial to the Horde.
Those are some of the more extreme examples. I also had characters who were more ambivalent, characters who had a side but were willing to cooperate with the enemy in cases like Vol’jin and Saurfang’s revolutions, and so on. But damn it it was nice to be able to, with in-game prompts and inspiration, construct a morality more complex than “I, hero of Azeroth, will defeat evil villain #547829.”
I find the hand-holding of Dragonflight sincerely jarring, especially after the atrocities of the past. I’ll go so far as to say I think it’s a missed opportunity to give the Alliance some spotlight. They nearly won the war. AGAIN. And yet their King made an unsatisfying peace deal, created internal divisions within the Alliance (damn I wish they explored the kaldorei discontent with Anduin more) and then just up and disappeared. I say this as someone who likes Anduin as a character, but I want anti-Anduin sentiment. I want calls to return to war, and take back old Alliance territories. Instead… we got the peace, love and happiness of Dragonflight.
I could understand, to a point, if it was just the excited archaeologists. You know, Naldea and Toddy vibing over cool Titan Artifacts. That’s fine, that’s whatever. There’s always been neutral-minded people, reflected in the Cenarion Circle, Argents, etc. But what bugs me is it’s also the soldiers. It seems to be literally everyone. The Alliance and Horde captains from Exile’s Reach have nothing but good things to say about each other. Lillian Voss, who murdered more than her fair share of Alliance, seems to have developed a close friendship with Shandris Feathermoon, the leading General of a people who lost a significant portion of their population to Lillian’s people. The Forsaken eagerly help the Gilneans reclaim their homeland (in a frankly awful storyline where the Scarlets are used as a narrative piñata with no context because Blizz didn’t know who else to put in Gilneas. Spoiler alert, could’ve been Forsaken. Or feral worgen. Aargh!), which prompts Genn-fricking-Greymane, the Alliance’s last real warmonger, to abdicate because he realises he’s too much of a boomer now, not tolerant and inclusive enough.
Honestly, it drives me mad. I like things about Dragonflight. I sincerely do. Heck next to Shadowlands it’s like comparing mouldy bread with a three course meal. It’s not a bad expansion. But… I’m not happy with what they’ve done to faction identity, by essentially completely stripping it away. I’m not even saying that every expansion needs to, or should, focus around a faction war. Frankly I think I’d prefer cold war vibes, with some genuine optimism and calls for peace, but some deep discontent, some scars that haven’t healed, and maybe some skirmishes between radicals that justify things like PvP. But the Dragonflight transition has been jarring and frustrating to me, sincerely, and for that reason alone Dragonflight gets a pretty “meh” rating from me.
