I think the people who say that those of us who wanted the traditional, quickly cutting battle scenes are simple-minded ADHD sufferers are misrepresenting us, and those who think a trailer saying "Look at Arthas! He's the opposite of what his family wanted!" is Lore-emphasizing have set the bar far too low.

The Warcraft RTS games are about the major Lore characters. But the MMO is about us - we the humans, tauren, orcs, elves, whatever who muddle through the complicated world of Azeroth. Sure, Arthas is the reason we're heading to Northrend and his actions, past and future, are going to shape our adventures there - but World of Warcraft is ultimately about us, and it would have been nice to see ourselves represented in balance with the main villain, as the Burning Crusade trailer did so successfully.
