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?
It's better than if they had tried to give it 3 major patches.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"The bit about hardcore players not always caring about the long term interests of the game is spot on." -- Ghostcrawler
"Do you want a game with no casuals so about 500 players?"
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
The stakes raising isn't that important, IMO with a little creative writing it isn't too hard to go to and fro and have both small plotting and galactic threads.
WoW used to do it, at least thematically. FF is actively doing it brilliantly. You have to construct it ahead of time, carefully and build it up in order to reap the payoff. They didn't do any of that with the BFA/SL story, they just made up shit on the fly.
To me though the sticking point just all of the fucking baggage SL brought with it, and like you said its all these concepts of reality. You can't undo that stuff, and theres layers and layers of problems now where they clearly just didn't even think before writing it down.
It's incredibly awkward and jarring and they're still fucking doing it into 9.2
The future of Warcraft writing is going to need to be some real "live in the moment" shit, because the lore is gone for anyone other than the most ardent of apologists.
If it’s a final patch as they say. So, can I finally kill the Jailer?! This constellar there, is he gonna die?

So practically another WoD. But tbh the question is, isnt it better to just have 2 major patches instead of 3 to provide better quality?
Considering how they said it in the video, Anduin is most likely going to be giving us a 'trial' in the 9.2 raid, as he apparently is to 'teach us' (we have to 'learn' from his fight) about the Domination magic. As well, I do not believe the Constellars are the First Ones but more another species out there working for the higher-ups, as Algalon did (Take note, I spelt his name wrong in the previous post).

It's the feeling that they essentially went right to the very creation of the universe as a little piece of patch content , like it isn't even a big deal our characters are now running around collecting loot in the afterlife's afterlife. Like they saw that Pixar movie Soul and created a zone out of it. Itd be the penultimate ending for the game for sure, but we know this isn't the final expansion. Just feels a bit strange a concept to explore.
