I swear, if you’ve played this game for decades+ like I have, it’s very noticible the quality in WoW expansions has simply gone down.
The amount of dungeons/raids, the quality therein, has just shrank. Especially from the earliest WoW expansions, that were longer.
Faster expansions now, with less content inside them. And the content doesn’t feel as impactful, because it’s so short.
The only parts of WoW they don’t skimp out on is the art, music, and general atmosphere.
The lore, while not the worst it’s been, is still not ‘too great’. (Earthen unlock scenario was… it felt unfinished lol.)
It feels like they don’t even have a dedicated lore team.
Not sure why we have Bronze drakes handling the races on Isle of Dorn instead of Earthen Stormriders? And lots of small stuff, like that.
Legion, even with its retcons, was still better than TWW, in terms of the story/cinematics and how it handled the Legion.
The Earthen storyline, put next to the Suramar/Nightborn story, is just incomparable in a pretty bad way.
Anyone that dislikes Legion but says they love TWW, well, you’re just gonna get funny looks from me lol.
