Even still. The bronze dragonflight showed up way before Mists. The events of WoD were throwbacks to stuff that happened before WoD, even in Legion you dealt with enemies and concepts from way before the expac came out. You skip things in the story you are going to be confused. I can agree that WoW is split more in to chapters than one big story but it isn't like FF doesn't have obvious story splits as well. To me that still boils down to "do you even care about the story?". If I wanted to see something I could just go back and do the quests after I catch up to friends/rush endgame or whatever reason I wanted to skip the story in the first place.
