Current Problem Parallels

[Lauront]

I just love how every times someone says that EW story is bad always asks questions about things that were clearly answered in the MSQ, or asks about things that make no sense.
How can someone ask what is Zordiark or if it is good or bad after EW ?

I mean there's those of us who did pay attention, including to the subsequent LLs and interviews, who still find huge issues with it. This isn't just a problem of not paying attention, even if that is the case with some posters. This is a story driven MMO that prides itself as such. So not quite sure why people are expected to put these issues aside? Some of the points you raise are ones that are made in a very shallow manner by the story. And the fact that it required all that clarification on top, for people who did pay very close attention during SHB for example, is intriguing in and of itself. While this does not shove aside the other issues at all, WoW also suffered from the gradual degeneration of its own lore, as it gave way to ever more ridiculous scenarios. There is and was ample discussion on the EW story here, for example as well as elsewhere on the forum, and I don't think it's an overstatement that it's quite controversial.
