You bring up a very valid point. I'm surprised you were downvoted. And the replies saying you're mocking someone's hard work... buh?
It isn't unreasonable to want a fully fleshed-out experience for Worgen in game. If you haven't already, play the Goblins from 1 to 20. Go from Kezan to Lost Isles to Azshara and see the sheer amount of love they've received. Compare to the Worgen experience, that ends (for them) once they hit Darkshore. They're on the NE leveling path at that point.
The Worgen story IS continued in game, but it is made available to new Forsaken players. Which is fine, because they're the other half of the conflict... but to rob the Worgen of that by sending them to the other side of the world, and putting them on the Night Elf leveling route... it's just a let down.
I won't say this story is bad for what it is, a story that is separate and existing in a format outside the game. That's fine. But I also won't turn a blind eye to a relatively poor handling of Worgen in the game. Too many events are taking place in the literature. Baine's retaking of Thunder Bluff? That would have made an EPIC assault event in the game, but it was only detailed in the Shattering book.
