And the thing is if given the time and resources, Im sure they could have actually been a very well received aspect of the game. Every mission table quest could have been an expedition or warfront. If BFA was actually a battle for Azeroth and not 4 expansions crammed into one (and redid the general atrocious writing) they could have given us 2 warfronts and 5 expeditions a patch that kept up with the narrative.
Give me a PvP option for Warfronts too. JFC, the opportunity was right there!
