They kind of blew their load with Argus. Anything after than that kinda seems like a mehhhh.
Everything after has just been rehashed concepts that have been done to death at this point. At least Argus was the culimination of the Burning Legion story, retconned mess that it was bringing a World Soul in as the reason demons could rez so much, which had been a thing since the RTS games.
BFA after was yet more pointless drama and faction conflict that barely lasted a main patch after the expansion launch and ended up not only pressing the old "In case of emergency/dwindling subs release an actual Old God" button but they then fucked that up too by resolving the release of said Old God in a single patch! N'Zoth should have been the big bad of an entire Old God themed expansion ala The Lich King from Wrath because the Old Gods are that fucking dangerous they've only ever been stopped before because they were never at full power.
BFA was a fucking mess story wise. Pivoting as they did from faction war to naga invasion to Old God apocalypse was bad enough but could have at least been workable if they cut off the last third to make into the next expansion while Azshara was the final boss of BFA and not just a single raid tier/content patch. This is yet again a huge lore character who was fucking wasted because the modern WoW devs are so bad at writing they burn through the game material in record time than get left making shit up [Shadowlands] and retconning in what amounts to fanfic level ramblings that still make no fucking sense!
Now Blizz have again pressed an emergency lore button by bringing back the Dragon Aspects who haven't really been seen since the end of Cataclysm, except Ysera who fucking died in Legion! These are npcs who said at the end of Cata "the time of Dragons is over, now is the time for mortals" and when Blizz ran out of ideas they walked that idea back and are now treading yet again old ground that was done, dusted, archived, and locked away in the library.
The library that modern Blizz has broken into, ransacked, pissed on, set fire to, and then told people to point and laugh at.
