So, is this what we're doing now? Because the Hydaelyn saga is over, we're just going to do the same thing as WoW and fragment the expansion stories to be entirely self-contained?
When YoshiP said something to the affect of them going in a new direction and that, if we like it, then it may lead into the direction of future expansion? I think we all assumed that the direction will be built on the 7.0 story, but not last more than 1 or 2 expansions even then. The more I think of this expansion, the more I think maybe he did mean the WoW style of expansion stories. I know he does still look at WoW (as any MMO dev should), but I don't know if he fully understands why many of us were disappointed with the expansions.

It was not just "Torghast" and it was a mixture of issues. For many of us the "bookended" stories were also a factor. The stories were not always congruent with lore and some characters just seemed to age or act as needed for that expansion's plot. For players that care about lore, it reduces their investment in the game.
