Have the devs responded to Dawntrail reception?

There is going to be a Live Letter in August, maybe they will make a comment or they might just ignore it. Atleast JP players agree, that DT story is meh when you compare it to the previous 2 expansion.

Of course it is.
SHB and EW were the pay-off of 10 years of world building. No new origin story can compare with that.
It's basically WoW post Wrath, where you stopped caring about so much because the story you began in Warcraft III was concluded.

That's not necessarily the case. I enjoyed Endwalker and shadowbringers because of the story, sure, but also the character interactions. Most of Dawntrail is *Wuk Lamat says something about culture, friendship, and is overall very naive. Everyone else nods along and agrees.* Most people appear upset because the story was disappointing; and it didnt have to be that way. For example; I went into the story very curious about Krile arc and felt like she was almost completely neglected to fit in more Talk to Wuk Lamat quests. In fact ALL the scions were mostly neglected this expansion.

Dunno, I like Wuk. Yeah she's naive. That was the point. And she needed to learn the ugly way that not every conflict can be solved by holding hands and singing Kumba-ya. She's grown a lot and I'm curious to see where her journey takes her.

Scions being on the back burner I can kinda understand, we just had 2 expansions that were basically Scion centric.
Krile: totally agreed. It's a shame that her "story" amounts to like 5 minutes of screen time.
