I doubt anyone has ever quit WoW for lore purposes. Most often than not itâs just the cherry on top for most peopleâs engagement with the game. Even when the lore is objectively terrible and the story is nonsensical people will still play. Everyone just quits for the systems and gameplay and then the lore being bad just adds on to that.
People have grown attached to these races and the histories theyâve grown over the course of WoW. Only natural, most people have spent at maximum 20 years with them, if not more if they came from the RTS. Burning all that down isnât going to solve anything imo because people will always circle back to it.
Almost everyone knows of these races through the lens of WoW. Nobody looks at High/Blood Elves as to how they were depicted pre-TBC because it was so different to how Blizz would eventually write them in TBC.
I see this a lot, and most people just seem to talk about Classic+ and a âreboot of the loreâ as a way of exploring the same things we have already explored but just slightly differently. Because whether people like to admit it or not, they love these races and the histories and actions they took throughout WoWâs history. There might be hiccups or terrible moments, but people always go back to them for a reason.

I mean you literally presented your opinion that wow lore isnt as bad as people say it is as fact, so that is exactly what you said.
No one can rly say with a straight face wow lore isnt as bad as people say when shadowlands exist.
Hence my point is wow lore is actually worse, time makes people forget how bad its actually is, people these days now pretend shadowlands wasnt that bad by example

I definitely am an outlier but Iâve been in 3 seperate guilds not counting remix chars since the start of DF* and âWhurr Hord?â has been a topic discussed in all of them.

Because youâre taking a subjective opinion about the games lore and acting like everyone agrees itâs all bad
Which isnât even close to being the case
I am willing to bet some of them are alts of people who post here 
its not subjective that shadowlands lore is bad.
its actually one of the few objective takes people have

It most certainly is subjective. Because SL also had good parts to it too.
Also, all opinions are subjective, they represent just that persons opinion on something

Sh1t with a truffle inside still is sh!t
Is this also, a subjective opinion?
What part of opinions are subjective did you not understand?
so, taking that to account, not all opinions are subjective, and can be objective
Again, what part of all opinions are subjective are you not understanding?
the irony here is physical 
No itâs not. Itâs just you being special dear
Itâs interesting looking back, how little pre-Cataclysm Azeroth was explored in the grand timeline of WoW expansions.
We just have Classic-Wrath. TBC mostly focused on Outland, and Wrath with Northrend.
There are still places to explore in the Old World that were not prior.
I wonder if it would have been a good idea if Blizzard had made the next expansion after Classic, still within Azeroth. Instead of jumping right to Outland. I donât see how playable draenei could work, though blood/high elves could be added. One race for both factions, but different ideology/culture. See more of a pre-redemption blood elves in a darkened state while also introducing the minority of alliance high elves as playable.
Though that could be blueprints for a future Classic+, and the tale can act as a âside rebootâ. Retailâs story untouched, but allows another continuity to flourish. Ogres are also another option for a horde playable race.
Right now Blood Elves are basically âLight Elvesâ, while I never played TBC when it was released, I heard read/heard about them having more edge. I might have to make a blood elf when Anniversary TBC is releasedâŚ..
Well outland we got cause at time they just couldnt add more tot he world map and needed a seperate world map, was fixed years later
Oh interesting, I did not know that. I assumed the direction to Outland was based on a narrative decision instead of gameplay limitations.
was mostly a gameplay (world map) decission, else they wanted to do a south seas expac as first expac with pirates and what not in part due pirates of caribbean movies populairity at time
Its also they dint expect game to last as long did, so wanted to use their iconic characters like illidan, lich king, even deathwing with cata
Early wow development is pretty fascinating, and if i renember il link some stuff later
I donât think that narrative holds up to scrutiny. I can buy that they couldnât add directly onto the continents - the fact that Quelâthalas is behind a load screen supports that - but that would not have stopped them from setting an expansion on islands in the seas. Such islands would also be behind load screens, which from a data-storage standpoint is absolutely no different from Outland.
