The current story path in BFA is lame and stupid. They need to hurry up and get rid of Danuser and Alex in order for the story to get better.

I agree with this 100%. Biggest example is the "there was no reason to start this war!" thing when really there was a reason, a good one at that, and it was explained quite well... in a fuckin book that 10 people read.
I give FF14 a lot of shit for overloading on cutscenes, but at least their story is properly explained in the game.
I think this post explains it rather well.
The average story that blizzard internally writes loses a lot by the time it gets through all those "filters" and into game content.
So when you start with an average product and then through various means you chip a ton of little pieces from many different sides... you get incoherent junk.
Even if the WoW story-writers actually played WoW they would have a much different perspective on things that they see.
They are familiar with the entire story and details and (i assume) books while probably 98% of wow playerbase has no such information as they are playing the content.
There could be an okay story in BFA if there was a possibility of radical faction changes (like faction splitting, races dying off etc).
But since we all know everything is gonna be alright it just makes everything so pointless and uninteresting.
They literally said that they do in some interview not so long ago. It was along the lines "we've found out that GoT is all the rage now, so were dropping our usual style - fuck you old fans - and 'upgrading' to GoT".

Don't worry guys the budget for this expansion went to patch 8.2.
I mean, sure, they aren't the best at storytelling, but your attitude is that of a defeatist. What kind of soldier/commander/king/leader/whatever really, puts down their arms after 1, 2 or 3 defeats? Also maybe you are forgetting that the Alliance lost Teldrassil, and they did NOT manage to reclaim Lordaeron, not to mention that almost all of the alliance leaders got killed, had it not been for Jaina. So for Christ's sake, chill the hell out.
Even if he did what hordefans expect from that?
Anduin: Genn why did you attack Sylvanas?
Genn: She was enslaving Eyir and becoming Lich Queen.
Everyone: OMFG! Why didn't you kill bitch on the spot?!
So far Genn kept silent about this stuff and it seems to me like this is why Sylvanas herself dropped the matter, as explicitly stated in BtS.

Vote with your wallets, unsub from all things blizzard, and stop buying anything from them untill they fix it
The Alliance attacked first, without provocation from the Horde side.Sky Admiral Rogers says: We are to track them from a safe distance. We may engage, but only if the situation demands.
They only discovered later on what Sylvanas was up to, all they knew before they set out was that the Horde had sent a fleet towards Stormheim.

Because Sylvanas dropped this matter. She references it personally, to Saurfang for example, but she implied to Alliance that she won't push this, giving reasonable impression that it was somehow justified and Genn had at least somehow valid reasons. Therefore Anduin has zero reason to push it either.
Maybe I'll check BtS later for exact quote, but seeing as there's no online version, don't count on that too much.

I lost all hope they could one up with something good. I love the cinematics they made for BFA but that's it.
The night warrior thing that feels out of nowhere, and don't even get me started on the whole Teldrassil. In-game they are so clueless that is painful.

Warcraft fantasy is ruined forever by a few things.
- It was built on classic high fantasy, but strayed in a myriad of ways:
- Spaceships
- Ridiculous conflict scale
- Too many races, too many variants of races
- Too much injection of different eras of technologies
- Too many villains with no motive other than "rawr I want to kill u"
- PC too powerful
- Time travel
- Death means nothing, anyone can be resurrected
It can never be fixed without an absolutely obscene level of retcons.

Beta exists for testing, not to let you play for free."It's only beta" brigade has arrived, I see.

What's wrong with enslaving Eyir? Odyn was stupid asshole, so Horde would make better use of his Val'kyr.
Headcannon....and becoming Lich Queen.

Brilliant idea if you want to remove Warcraft from existence.
Tolkein was a master storyteller, better that the warcraft writers spend more time reviewing how to create a fictional universe that isn't grotesquely malformed.
