This is all simply not true, and/or not a question of fact. I disagree with all of it. Not that stories were told in warcraft 1-2-3 and in books, but that no other stories are being told in WoW.
The Onyxia questline which starts with the Defias, the Stonemason guild and goes through the missing diplomat and various other dungeons and raids is the only truly developed story in the game and is Alliance exclusive. Tirion Fording's story is the second and only other long questline that details events untold.
WoW Vanilla was rushed and was originally imagined for players who had existing knowledge of the games, which is why other expansions insisted heavily on the world building and storytelling and still do to this date in retail with extra cinematics and scenes piled on.
Other quests are no different from errands with very few or no backdrops. We've all been there and have done them enough — your entire argument also once again never offers a valid reason as to why other plays wanting faster experience should be invalidated by your need to read a book others have already written the graded summary on.
Being level 60 has relevance as most of your awful and asinine pseudo-arguments were pushback about us wanting to skip things. We're level 60 and have been through the content — multiple times.
How you want to play the game shouldn't invalidate what others are asking for. If you want to take the game slow and enjoy the scenery, you can opt-in with multiple challenges like slow and steady, exhaustion etc.
We want to play with our friends and guild members while having attractive individual pull for the server population.
Why would your individual wants ever trump something beneficial to the community and the server's health as a whole?
