Trying to pin the blame on Afrasiabi is still kind of ridiculous in my views, and just feels like copium.
9.2 was 100% done by Danuser & Co, and it was still eurgh. Hate him all you like as a person (he deserves it), but Afrasiabi has done some really memorable story lines for the game. Garrosh for example is still beloved by the community, and Legion had an okay story which didn't ruffle many feathers.

9.2 was awesome though? We finally got back Sylvanas and honestly, the Zereth Mortis lore is actually quite cool. And! They didn't killed off beloved characters. The only bad thing about Shadowlands was the content draughts and the lack of exploration of Zoovals background. Funnily enough, the ending was implied from the start - Sylvanas always said they are doing this for the bigger good, so no clue why people are suddenly surprised. Yes, the Sepulcher finale was too short and missed an epilogue but we got that with the Judgement of Sylvie and we also had the awesome Anduin cinematic a week before.
Btw, I wouldn't be surprised if Danuser actually saved Aszhara from getting killed off. Afrasiabi seemed to like to kill any cool characters afterall.

Yeah you'll find that most people in this forum at least were not looking to finally get back Sylvanas.
No, his character wasn't ruined. His character went the way it should of. It could of gone different but the signs were already there in Wrath.
You implied it with how you spoke.Don't take words out of my mouth, I never said he was a "writing god".
And I'm not gonna stop using copium, even if it is overused.

Really for all that I enjoy Stonetalon Garrosh, the Garrosh that challenged Thrall to a Mak'gora instead of attempting any actual discussion back in the Wrath pre-event, the one who completely discounted Saurfang in Borean Tundra and who was in every zone other than Stonetalon in Cata is the same Garrosh of MoP.
That's the thing with Stonetalon Garrosh. He's the outlier characterization. Mind you, that could have been the watershed moment that lead them to a different path, but the fact that wasn't followed through, nor resonates with his later -or former- characterization frames it more as a narrative false step.
It's pretty telling of WoW's narrative cohesion that different writers hold very different versions of the characters and that there's a serious lack of an overseeing editor role.
Thing is, it's not that uncommon on comic books, and I really feels like WoW borrows, more than anything, from those types of narratives. Different creators with different versions of the characters that conflict each other, with characterizations and motivations that come across as isolated and lacking a cohesive, unified vision.
Where is Umbric?
Still holding on to hope that we get more Mag'har characters, just someone that isn't terribly dull like the current leader.
