Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

This is what baffles me the most about DT's defenders. DT needs the audience to have poor literacy for the story even to work.

Sometimes I just wonder if people read anymore. How anyone can consume ANY literature during their life and then defend the writing in Dawntrail is beyond me (or watch any part way decently written TV series). Hell, your average X-Men crossover series makes more sense than Dawntrail.

Honestly, I think a lot of the defense (and some of the hatred) of DT is ideological, which is why so many of the arguments are nonsensical or pure deflection tactics. "Group X (dis)likes this game because they're on the wrong team so I have to defend/attack it!"

The game also has a lot of weird toxic positivity where people get very upset if you criticize the game at all so they'll just defend it reflexively.

But, for some reason, there are people who genuinely like the story. There's someone on my friend list who reads fantasy fiction voraciously and thinks Dawntrail is the best expansion by far. You can't account for taste I suppose.

Unfortunately, that first reason is the most potent and accurate.
I wouldn't say I like it for XYZ reason. I must be on the wrong side of the lake and hate the golden child Wuk because of it.
