// Why do so many hate BfA all of the sudden? Despite the VERY questionable and badly written intro (the genocide), the main story took off after the pre patch, thanks to focusing on a few but well-written characters. Everything surrounding Saurfang was flawless. #Warcraft

Focusing on a handful of characters isn't good MMO writing, in my opinion. If I wanted a story where only 2-5 characters matter and everyone and everything else is just an unimportant backdrop, there's a million other franchise settings that do that much better than Warcraft.

Warcraft's Lore should never focus on the player(s) to any high degree. Garrisons and Legion Halls as prime examples. I dunno who is here for their character's story outside of RP (which is handled by you not a company) because I'm here for the Warcraft characters & their story.

I'm not just talking about players, I'm talking about the WORLD of Warcraft. The WORLD building. Establishing smaller characters. Showing why smaller characters are invested in things. Giving players to be invested in the stories and zones.

"focusing on a few but well-written characters". Well-written is debatable, but otherwise this is the exact story reason why so many of my friends quit this expansion. If the story only focuses on a handful of characters, and they don't connect to players, the players will leave.

I don't focus on the small characters you and your friends do/did clearly. They're not as necessary as say Thrall, Jaina, Baine, etc are to the story I care about. They don't make or break the entire story the other characters do. They're more like extras than anything else.
