SE, no effort anywhere lately.

Almost everyone on the WoW forums disagrees with you. In fact, they spend most of their time praising this game will dissing their own game when it comes to the story and the writing.

Your opinion is just that. Your opinion. It is not objective. It is subjective. Just like everyone else's.

That is because WoW has had genuinely poor writing and game design for 2 expansions in a row. The most recent expansion, Dragonflight, was more of a reset of sorts, so time will tell what happens from here. At the end of the day, the WoW forums aren't much different from ours. When a good point is made, it's a really good point, and when something is universally hated, the players come together and put on quite a show of solidarity. But sometimes they complain just to complain, too. I was seeing a ton of praise for FF XIV and other MMOs prior to Dragonflight, but I haven't seen it much after it launched. A lot of people have dug their trenches again to defend literally everything WoW, for better or worse.
