IMO, the game’s story is pretty dreadful and it’s been this way for a while, WOW has moments, but it’s been so long since the story has even had moments. BFA? Garbage. SL? The consensus worst expansion. DF? Friendship craft. TWW? More friendship craft and cliche story elements.
I’ve accepted a while ago that the story is never really going to be decent again because, how does one recover from this level of ineptitude.
