Not surprising that there is an increase just after a patch.

But also maybe it's because the 7.2 is good because it's going in the very opposite direction of the 7.0 MSQ which is :
  • The WoL is once again at the center of the story and matters in it.
  • Sphene, unlike Wuk Lamat, is a well-written character that isn't vampirizing the plot but complementing the WoL like all "main characters" of every expansion did before.
  • Wuk Lamat is so much put to the sideline with "excuses" like "Oh, I have to talk to those guys, I will leave you with Sphene alone" that it almost feels like the plan was to have Wuk Lamat and Sphene connect to make a parallel with her relationship with Endless Sphene, but realizing how badly Wuk Lamat was received, they switched Wuk Lamat role in this to the WoL with desperate attempts in the last moment, and it works so much better than having a Wuk Lamat centered story.

So everything that goes against people like you who were overly defensive about Dawntrail and its MSQ direction, against people like me who didn't like it as a whole.
