Not totally accurate, they did make the Scarlet Crusade into a bigger faction by combining two of the âbadguysâ from Vanilla with some disenchanted Stromgarde people. So Alliance and Horde will now ally against them in that part of the world. I am sure something similar will happen around Silvermoon in the next expac.
It is odd that Danath does not seem to remember BFA.

Itâs just comical. Tons of citizens are (needlessly) painted as rebellious racists and human supremacists and the whole country is thrown into turmoil, portraying a deeply broken society that yearns for a radical leader. This radical leader attacks settlements and caravans, kills and abducts people and has tons of support from the high ranked military and the common folk - so the consequence is that we just let her go, saying âYouâre stupid, just⌠go somewhere, idc.â. This is the most illogical decision since bringing an extremely important artifact to the Jailerâs doorstep so he could use it.
And yet the conclusion in the end is: âNice, now thereâs peace again. 
â ⌠wtf?

The writers are too politically-bent in a certain direction IRL and it has been affecting product quality for quite some time now. WoW was at its best when it did not walk around on eggshells.
We used to walk into demonic portals powered by disintegrated souls into space-hell to fight demons on a pathway paved with thousands and thousands of massacred skulls.
We used to have factions tenuously held together by the racism/intolerance of their enemies, and weapons feared by specific races for their bloody history of massacres tens of thousands of their people (the infamous Trolâkalar, âTroll Killerâ, of the Stromgarde family, for example).
We used to have world politics determined by inter-racial conflicts, such as the reason the High Elves left the proto-Alliance (Stormwind + Lordaeron + Stromgarde) explicitly being a strain on the military cooperation between the humans and the high elves because Garithos, the human supremacist, was so casually racist and discriminatory against elven regiments, and the elves were insulted, reviled, and needlessly sent to slaughter enough to break their blood oath to the humansâ ancestors.
We used to have a city that was cleaved in twain by a zombie army marching up from the south, after a political defector sabotaged the architectural defenses.
During the assault the leader of that zombie army went out of his way to rip the soul of one of his enemies out of her body, specifically so that he could torture her for eternity. She canonically committed suicide and was brought back from beyond to enact a plot leading to the mass-genocide of at least one race (+ the deaths of as many others as possible).
In that same zombie assault, there was another genocide conducted after which the survivors are hopeless addicts beseiged by their former-brethren who have succumbed to arcane degeneracy.
And I mentioned Sylvanasâ suicide, which ended up freeing the Forsaken. As soon as these victims of magical war crimes regained their consciousness and freedom, they tried reaching out to their former families and allies, who summarily discriminated against them despite being victims and refugees, and rejected/deported/killed them and declared war against their kingdom (which had been a former ally). They were forced to ally with the other races the humans were in a race war against, and the reclusive elves the humans had run away with their racism.
And letâs see⌠thatâs just TBC with a slight whiff of Vanilla.
Shortly after TBC ends, we immediately commit more magi-chemical war crimes.

Reading all of this leaves me a bit sad, tbh. We will probably never have political, spicy conflicts like these in the story again. If this storyline was written today, Garithos wouldâve voiced some concerns and then immediately been shut down by righteous, morally good side characters who ran after the elves to convince them otherwise. The elves wouldâve just said âYeah, you have a point, we must band together for Azeroth.â, while Garithos wouldâve felt deep regrets and acknowledged that thereâs no place for older men like him now, and that the future seems much brighter and hopeful with those young tolerant people who tought him a lesson.

Yeah, and itâs shown once again with Faerin in theseâŚawful quests in Arathie only there to show how good she is.
A new character who got 2 novels + an upcoming one in a poor attempt to make here likeable, with me it had the opposite effect.
As far as i remember, no new characters got such treatments, not even Orweyna who appears in the same expansion as Faerin.
A DEI character who became very bad because the writers fell into the same traps as the usual DEI characters in the movies: Forced, too perfect, overly preachy, got the chosen one syndrome and shine so much that she damages the story more than anything.
I wanted to give Faerin a chance as a character but as long as we have the same writers ruining the stories with their political views, this character will stay unsalvageable and will be more and more insufferable as time passes.

Its interesting because this behavior just creates more annoyance, aka hate.
They are pushing idiocrazy at this point where people have the opinion span of âuuuuhâ - otherwise they get thrown in a pit full of hot sauce.
Played through the whole thing. It was moronic. In a Game called WARcraft it felt TOTALLY out of place. This is a wacky fantasy game. Sanctimonious posturing just doesnât fit. Give me a bad guy to fight and a good reason to fight them. It is not hard, and you are failing.

The reason is so that the writers can make another woke storyline. âRed Dawnâ = Red Wave, and they are painted to look like r@cists because they donât want the horde in their land. Then the virtue-signal checkbox character Faerin comes in to school everyone in âacceptance and toleranceâ.

Just a few things.
Propping up things for us to knock down, over and over and over⌠well, thatâs just terrible writing.
Also
Forcing the Horde and Alliance to work together is terrible writing.
I hope they arenât that petty.
I find it interesting that Blizzard devs say they listen to community feedback and that it helps direct the story⌠but, the factions uniting is an almost universally reviled concept. Yet, full speed ahead because⌠why?
