Its a non argument about their quality, it has been dropping heavily over the years.

Idk about that. In this recent cinematic I was pretty amazed at all the small gestures (like Saurfang pointing Thrall to Jaina with just his eye movements).
If nothing else, seeing where WoW's story goes is one of the things that's kept me interested - even while not subbed.
Change doesnt happen overnight like that.
8.1.5 is still a couple weeks or so from 8.2 storywise.
even real time =/= lore time.
Aside from that she is fully aware of that stuff yet she still went "DIE HORDE SCUM" and then went "teldrassil could have survived if the horde aided us" BUt that is so fucking retarded coz the HORDE attacked that tree and SAURFANG was IN on it.

It does for a game like WoW, you say "real time =/= lore time" but don't realize how fast WoW's timeline moves.
For instance in Legion this is what is said for the Frost DK Artifact when you pick it:
"The legendary Frostmourne, even four years after its destruction within Icecrown Citadel, remains one of the most infamous weapons in all of Azeroth.
With a bit of necromatic power, the broken shards could be reforged into a set of runeblades that have the potential to be as powerful as their predecessor, if not surpass it entirely."
This means Legion occurs only 4 years after Wrath of the Lich King events. Wrath came out 2008, Legion 2016. Obviously things are moving much faster in Azeroth time.
So about 1 year "WoW time" per expansion. Meaning all those character changes that happen within each expansion and between expansions have been happening super effin quickly.

Plus, Jaina was on a Horde hate spree from sometime in MoP to mid BfA. That's about 2 years of "DIE HORDE SCUM!" status in WoW time. Which is obviously a long time for us (4 years real time).

She's not even referencing Teldrassil there, she's referencing Hyjal. Get your snippets straight.
this story is the lowest level of crap and defending it is only slightly less embarrassing than having written it
but we are so far beyond any place where logic or consistency could be applied quite literally anything can happen now
sylvanas is definitely gonna attack thunder bluff though theres no way thrall says it in that cutscene if its not gonna happen. in their peanut sized caveman brains the blizzard writers think this is gonna be the moment we can all rally around to protect the tauren. its gonna be a shitshow.
after that who fucking knows. all i can tell you for sure is the night elves and zandalari arent gonna get any vengeance and afrasiabi will somehow avoid jail time for this crime against storywriting
I dislike the story generally but sympathize with the difficulties of telling any sort of coherent story that only moves when patches arrive. I intensely dislike Afrasiabi's plotting which is unsubtle and all-on-the-surface dramatics but I have to admit, I loved the Jaina-Thrall cinematic.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
For real? Awesome! I haven't been able to play the last 2 days because of work/life so happy to see that.

What about a new mini raid? Defense of Thunderbluff. 2-4 bosses?

I'd rather he slither off and recover his strength for 1-2 expansions to give us a thematic break. Death themed xpac next, please. Or Dragon themed.
I do understand that stuff and that is my problem. They happen to fast which IS the problem how she can go from "DIE HORDE SCUM FUCK YOUR TROLL KING" to "Oh you are not gonna use my brother against me how nice wow i love you baine senpai" and then "Man if only the Horde would have aided us during the burning of teldrassil like they did during Hyjal then we wouldnt have that tree burnt"
This doesnt make sense. How you can not see this is shocking to me.
Any sane person in Jainas position would be very sceptical about Horde aiding her.
But then again Sanity is lacking in warcraft story.

She's not talking about Teldrassil when she says if Horde and Alliance stand together it will stand. First, Thrall brings up Thunder Bluff will fall now, then Jaina brings up Hyjal and Ally/Horde together.
"This doesn't make sense" because you're confusing yourself. Go rewatch the cinematic.
Basically, world revamp. Timeskip. Soft reboot of WoW. Level squish. etc.
Sec, let me find it.

Here it is. https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...ot-from-reddit
I keep reading it trying to figure out what stands out to people as good and I just can't find it. Unless any kind of level squish is regarded as good at this point.
Also I chuckle at "soft reboot." A 30 year time skip and basically removing all expansions sounds like a hard reboot that's just missing the 2.
FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)
As much as it seems fake, I like some of the stuff and some of it makes sense.
If we're getting a level squish, it would make sense to also bring in other drastic changes related to that (no more faction split, world revamp etc.). And while I don't know if it is gonna be a 15 year timeskip, I know that it's finally time for one for some fresh lore to develop. Some people, including myself, have been wanting a timeskip for the past couple expansions.
