    Excuse this post if it's already been known, but I just noticed on Twitter.

    So...who's gonna do his job? And what about Hearthstone of which there's story?
    They always told me I would miss my family... but I never miss from close range.

    I wonder how he's going to try to ruin the night elves in hs, maybe make druid and priest worse.

    You really can't make Priest much worse than it already is in HS.

    I'm shedding a tear of happiness right now.

    This guy single-handedly brought the already fragile and controversial lore of this game to the brink of destruction.

    After Tom Chilton this was the guy that needed to go.

    Rejoice fans of the lore.

    I got the impression Alex Afrasiabi had been in charge of the narrative for some time now, but especially in Legion.

    They may get someone that doesn't try to RETCon shit all the time.

    As I currently play FFXIV I have to say that the narrative element is probably the worst thing of WoW compared to many other games.

    Priest really isn't that bad as players make it out to be but yeah, compared to a few other classes, its definitely not up there. Still fun to play though, and will be super strong in a couple days.

    WoW has the worst lore of any MMO I've ever played, period.

    No tbh I don't think it's just that. It's the narrative, the format how the game tells the story. When you played single player RPGs and compare it to WoW you will quickly realize the quality difference, but there indeed MMORPGs who converted the story telling really good and are far closer to aaa single player RPGs than WoW is to them.

    I mean Blizzard did an awesome job in Warcraft 2 and 3, as well as in Starcraft. But that quality to tell a story proved the be a lot better than how they did it in WoW even though it was just within the RTS genre.
