Hot take: WoW never had a good story in any expansion. Just a few good moments scattered around like islands in a sea of grind.
The closest they got to a good cohesive story was Legion, but that was only if you were playing from the beginning and got to see everything develop live before they just started shoving people into catch up points that made no sense without context.
I mean, would you? The whole damn playerbase basically goes ‘lol read quest text? watch cutscenes? no time, need purps!’.
If I were Blizzard, I’d probably stop caring about story too because the player base doesn’t care all that much either, and the ones that do aren’t going to quit over a shitty story at this point: if they were going to, they already did in Shadowlands.

I mean, my understanding is that they fired half of their story continuity team, resulting in a published (physical) lore book that makes no sense.
So now I don’t think they are even trying
