I agree that the story can be good but if the gameplay isn't there then it still creates a disappointing product. I also believe that if the story and the big lore moments end up falling short that the gameplay won't stay interesting for long. I used to be among those that really loved the lore of Warcraft and was put off when I seen others bashing it. As the expansions have rolled out, I have found myself becoming more disenchanted with the lore. We have had so much new technology added to the game to tell the stories and that has been really positive. I don't think, however, some of the big lore moments have been told well and we haven't seen what we have wanted to. This includes dead characters constantly returning and our lore heroes being portraied as weak in the rare instances that we get involved with them. (ie) Thrall has been turned into an impotent hero every since WotLK. The sentinels are another example of characters who have had their soul ripped away. Put some pride and accuracy back into the lore. It's not always about mechanics.
