I love Burning Crusade game-wise, but I actually agree that in terms of actual lore, when they added the Isle of Quel'danis and, oh, surprise, Kael'thas isn't dead, so this time make sure he's dead was the worst. It even opened up the future Legion twist of oh, surprise, Illidan isn't dead, so this time he's the special prophesied HEEWO!
Burning Crusade also gave us the windchimes, who suddenly took over so much of every story and look where that led us in Legion. They're such the Mary Sue of perfect Light beings, who are only flawed where they flip and become perfect evil beings. Just UGH x 10.
So even though I loved Burning Crusades, it really was the beginning of treating lore like something both expendable and way more important than the world itself.
