Honestly better than BfA and Cata/MoP faction war story.

As many have already said, the faction war storylines have long since been played out. They tried to reinvigorate it during BFA but it ultimately fell flat and felt way too forced, especially after the events of Legion. The playerbase also isn’t as it was 20 years ago, people don’t necessarily have the time to be inconvenienced by things such as your friends playing on the opposite faction or server. As such Blizzard has continually added more and more convenience features to the game, with cross faction guilds etc. Ultimately Blizzard now just wants people to play their game without being inconvenienced by artificial limitations such as faction choice.
However I will say that the beginning part of TWW storyline did have way too much Alliance representation. Would it have hurt to let just one of the Horde major leaders stick around on Khaz Algar so it wasn’t just Alleria and Anduin the whole time we waited for the fleets to arrive? As an Ally player even I got pretty tired of seeing only major Ally leaders at the start
Same, I miss Horde civil wars and losing leaders left, right, and center.
The reason for these are Tauren and Blood Elf-players. Most former human-players, who switched over to the Horde, are Blood Elf-players. And Tauren don’t fit the narrative, which is why these players usually don’t want to get involved in those villainous acts either.
I resent the implication that I would ever roll a human. My main before I tried a belf was a nelf tyvm.
Seriously, though, the conflict was always stupid to anyone who actually played 3.

I miss world pvp honestly.
Turn on Warmode?
It’s not the same.
Not enough hapless lowbies to gank?
It is PvP in the world.
Or are you mad you can’t jump people who don’t want to PvP?
You actually play a human with pointy ears and perfect body figure. There is nothing wrong doing this but pretending that they aren’t humans is also quite disingenuous coming from the community in general. Same goes for the Night Elves to a higher degree.
For me, a fantasy race is something like Tauren, Drak’thyr or Pandaren. Even dwarves are more interesting than the so called “human-ersatz”, because these human-like races just fulfill the fix to play something familiar in a beauty body.
We’re all betht friendth now.
I literally signed up to play the good guys who are more monstrous, as was advertised
BfA was a bunch of repeated punches to the stomach

You play a short human pointy eared green human whose aesthetics are like 50% 50s pinups, spare me (I can do this with almost every race but tauren, draenei and dracthyr).
i think the alliance and horde aren’t one faction, per se. they are rather, co-existing, as opposed to being at war with each other.
I guess I hit a nerve here. Don’t get me wrong, play what you like, but Blood Elves are the closest thing to human perfectionism, which is why so many want full-fledged High Elves. And the most eccentric and self-absorbed people also drawn to them, because they are beautiful. Otherwise people would have been happy with the Void Elves and wouldn’t have asked for regular skin options and blonde hair.
The game should at least be in a perpetual state of cold war to justify the BGs and keep the faction loyalty a thing. Brand wars like coke and pepsi drum up enthusiasm well, it’s also a pillar of WoW’s identity.

It went the way of 5v5 arenas, buff reagents, ammo, and 40-player raids: Blizz realized that the tiny sliver of people who actually liked it wasn’t worth the annoyance to everyone else, so they canned it.
