And for me it is plausible that Afrasiabi could be responsible for this. He had a "rockstar" status at Blizzard, he was part of the Cosby suite and he was very high ranked. Maybe he had good ideas with and after the Teldrassil blowup. And maybe he has conviced other employees with "rockstar" status and this "LET US DO SOMETHING COMPLETELY CRAZY"-thing went through. But after this he was removed from the company and the current story team has no idea what to do with the story.

I suppose, they will retcon the Shadowlands story completely and lock it away. So it will become an optional level content. They have possibilities to do this in the game. The bronze dragonswarm could "fix" a damaged timeline etc.

I think the '' rockstar mentality '' is honestly quite widespread.
I don't think it's just Blizzard either but I think at Blizzard it's a mentality a large portion of the devs have.
It makes sense on some level, Blizzard was probably still a pretty huge deal and well respected when they were hired.
It probably strokes your ego a bit to get hired by a company like Blizzard.

I actually don't think Teldrassil being burnt down was bad in and of itself, Night Elves were my favorite in WoW too my first character back in WoW was a Night Elf Hunter ( yes very original lel ).
But I thought it was a cool and risky thing, I like when they do bold decisions that have a lasting impact.
The issue was just how it was handled but I don't think that the idea itself was bad.

It does upset some people I mean every time the Horde or Alliance takes a L people get mad about it out of faction loyalty too.
But I think that if you listen too much to that it holds you back from doing interesting things.
