    this. Dawntrail's story was given to a team of writers who only handled small projects before now and obviously didn't know the first thing about writing a whole expansion's worth of story content.

    This is the main issue.

    I mean if we magically went back in time and CTRL+X Wuk Lamat and pasted in Emet Selch into the Dawntrail story it would still be a disaster, for all the same reasons.

    I think this was the biggest faux pas. This shouldn't have been a sandbox for inexperienced writers to try new ideas. This was a $60 expansion with a monthly sub - our expectations were higher because we PAY for it.
