I disagree.

These are major, major plot holes (if they aren't filled) involving major characters. You've correctly pointed out that this is a game, but it's a story-driven game. If Blizzard has no intention of addressing these elements, or never gave thought to them in the first place, then they are falling short on a very grand scale, not to mention ignoring them it's quite stupid. Having this much conflict between characters in game will make a story writer wet their pants.

They've got:

Horde v. Alliance
Sylvanus & Garrosh
Sylvanus & the Plague
Sylvanus & the Val'kyr
Varian & Thrall
Vol'jin & Garrosh

-all happening right in front of us, yet we're supposed to be looking forward to killing a fiery dragon that effed up Azeroth when he came out of hibernation, and who once in a while swoops in to torch a swathe of land.

Yeah. Blizzard lost me with Cataclysm.
