Yeah I'd like to see Stromgarde's revival reflected in-game more. Same for stuff that went down in Hillsbrad.
I'd imagine Dragon Isles being east or northeast of Northrend actually. We all expected Kul'Tiras to be connected to EK or off the coast of it but they put it west of EK instead.

So basically the reason she chose horde was because she had the hots for not-kael-what's-his-name
There's also some stuff that went down during Legion such as what happened in Darkshire during the Kingslayer Artifact quest chain. Speaking of. At this point we should start finding out what became of the various artifact weapons lorewise post-Legion.

...Yes.
I'd be surprised if she's not pregnant by now

They did that once with Thrall and Aggra, it was very hit or miss with the community. I was fine with it, but remember there being quite a bit of whining about it saying it's too out of touch with World of WAR craft, and too touchy feely, lovey dovey, or pointless bullshit or whatever.
Not surprised they opted to not do that again, but I am also a bit disappointed we didn't get to be a part of it, I enjoy that kind of fluff.
Eh, I mean we had stuff like Stromgarde being completely rebuilt within the interim between Legion and BfA. They might as well have crowned Danath Trollbane. So that sort of counts. I'm just saying that more has happened in less time. I'm not really in favour of these sweeping world changes to begin with but that horse has already left the barn in Cataclysm.
The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?
The general issues were more that one, it was focus on Thrall yet again; two, it was focus on Thrall at a weird time (the trailer for the Firelands patch it was in had Ragnaros show up to taunt Thrall, who was completely uninvolved with the fight against Ragnaros); and three, it started with a meeting of the various forces involved to help heal Nordrassil and ended with nothing of the sort being done.
A wedding could certainly be done well in game but Thrall's wedding certainly was a flop.
Yay! He's a married man! Honestly, I love Lorthemar. Dude's gone through a lot of shit and I am happy he's got a happy ending...kinda.
More cringe dialogue, wow writers should stop trying to do those "romance" in the game, it just look like bad fanfiction, just say they got together and be done with it, i still ahve ptsd with Thrall from cata.
At least they are making a timeskip, let the game breath a bit, too bad i don't think they will use it well, a good timeskip would solve a lot of problems in worldbuilding that is happening since legion

That's not a time skip between expansions, that's just time progressing forward. A time skip is when you jump forward in time in the narrative. That hasn't happened before in WoW.
EDIT:
Example: WoW started in year 25, TBC in year 26, Wrath in 27, Cata in 28, MoP half-way into 29 and then into 30, Warlords in 31 and the start of 32, then going to Legion, and so on.

They are generally considered lapses in the in-game narrative, yes. Sometimes they're bridged by material from the novels and other external media, such as with The Shattering and War Crimes, and sometimes they're not. Regardless, they're periods of time in the general game chronology that aren't covered in-game, interstitial to the expansions themselves, and so on.

I am so happy for Thalyssra and Lor'themar. They are the most beautiful couple in lore.
