And that right here is main problem with warcraft lore from cataclysm onward, but was most visible in recent years. Blizzard simply put aren't good writers, who can't write complex thought-provoking story with multi dimensional characters. And its not a bad thing on its own, its just that blizzard puts almost all their focus on a weakest link in a chain, and not only doesn't make it better, it exposes its weakness even more.
Blizzard should completely give up on character driven "ongoing" story and instead focus on "background" lore and world building - aspects that are their strongest, and are reason why people fallen in love with franchise all those years ago. Rather than having few poorly written characters who are everywhere (hi nat and jaina) have many diffrent characters who are heroes of their own stories or zones. Give us more Runas and less Jaina.
Lets be real - blizzard writers aren't Martin, Tolkien, Taro, {insters writer here} and they should stop pretending they are.
On top of that few more things - raids being a way to "resolve" lore are a big no no. Im not saying that raids should be loreless, but lore-heavy raids with lots of RPing aren't really that good.
