I feel like WoWs story is so bad because it's always been bad. Like you base something on shit and you are going to get shit. It's core story from classic is so brain-numbingly weak. If you go deeper then hitting a highlight reel and maybe watching some cool explosions then I feel bad for you.

Obviously the universe is out there but that doesnt mean the character actions and whats going on cant make some sense. When you take that twitter thread into account it becomes painfully obvious why Anduin basically doesnt care when one of his allies capital city is burned to the ground and it's citizens defiled. The logical reaction would be "toxic masculinity" and we cant have any of that!

It would be fun if WoW classic splintered off into a different direction via subtle shift. Like if the Gilnean wall came down before Burning Crusade and the new races were Blood Elf and Worgen instead of Blood Elf and Draenei...
Anything would be more interesting than what we see in the retail non-classic at this point.

If they forked Classic off to a different timeline/storyline or something significant like that, AND then brought back all the fantastic high quality models/artwork/transmog etc. that we have in BfA, I'd almost certainly start playing full time again. Probably better for my life and sanity that they don't then.

Needing to read the novel to understand stuff is bullshit. In WOTLK, they put a lot of effort into flashbacks so you could know who Arthas was and why he was doing what he was doing. In BFA, I have no fucking clue who Arthas' sister is, what she's done, why Sylvannas is doing what she's doing, who what where or why anything to do with the renewed war against AvH, and a dozen other missing points in the storyline. How am I supposed to give a shit about a story I can't follow along with?

Theres a novel released with each expansion and it basically contains 80% of the story for said expansion.

Don't forget the conclusion to the "Missing Diplomat" quest chain about how Varian was kidnapped in vanilla was... a comic book.
What I'm saying is no amount of books is going to make that expansion make sense.

Even if the story is explained in a novel, I'm just not going to do it. I shouldnt have to do it. Thats fine if they want the game and the novel to follow each other. But both products should be able to stand on their own without the other. I dont think anyone would be very happy if the reverse happened. You only finish parts of the novel if you play the game. Id throw that book in the trash within the first few chapters. Instead of running around picking up bat shit, and collecting bear asses - why are we just not questing through the GD story?

I don't disagree with you but also there are people on this forum are still saying the war campaign shit/story in BFA made no sense when literally all you had to do is read quests/talk to npcs or even pay attention to dialogue so even if those entire novels were in the game as anything other than a cinematic it wouldn't make any sort of a difference really
