vanilla failed on most parts to deliver good storylines through quests (there are exceptions like ony questline etc)
does that mean that vanilla had everything perfect? cause "vanilla was that way" should further expansions be the same? or should they perhaps take what they learned from previous expansions, and build on it, rather then go "back to the roots" that everyone looks at with rose-colored glasses? i had a BLAST through vanilla, but that doesn't mean i want that game again. i know the current state of wow is 50 times better than it was when vanilla was shipped. i don't see any reason why you should go back to those roots.
tl;dr vanilla had no clear direction of where the game was going, so they just threw crap in there.
