Yes but unless you’re a goblin in a wheelchair with a fixation of running the same northrend campaign against an imaginary lich three times, then no. MUH TRUCE.
And Bilgewater is, at most, half of the goblin workforce top-side, aren’t they? If you’re RP’ing a Blackwater Raider, or a Steamwheedle, who are both notoriously fence-sitting on the whole faction-divide, they could probably weasel their way into a lot of places. If the Alliance treats all goblins, regardless of cartel with outright hostility, then it would contradict the very lore that makes them neutral.
This is wayyy too deep of a server-campaign cut for me to get I’m gonna keep it real T^T
You cannot begin to comprehend my standards.
I can see where you come from. I don’t fully agree, but as I said, fair enough.
I have less time, and more knowledge of what I enjoy, so I curate my experience towards that. As long as there are good players, you just become friends with them and the good things shall follow. 
I think you’re absolutely right here and this is a two-way problem. From one side, Blizzard having very little investment in worldbuilding of old (or changing the world’s vibes drastically) but also, and this is what you’re maybe referring to, annoying concepts like giant dracthyr acting weirdly are hard to unsee, and have definitely increased.
I wonder if that may have to do with dracthyr or man’ari bartenders being available, than anything changing on AD though. Because in WotLK remember, for example, the teenage werewolves that used the Tome of the New Moon in Silvermoon to turn into Edward Cullen’s rivals wannabe IC. Cringe RP without context was a thing even back then
I’m telling you again the bit of lore related to this
Gallyvix encouraged genocidal wars (such as by tipping Sylvanas off about Azerite) because they made him, and his cartel as a result, filthy rich
They are not peacemongers, they literally make more money from conflict to the point it was the driving force for the Bilgewater Cartel to stick themselves into whatever war was happening. Profit trumped personal safety and lives and that’s been the goblin way of life that seems to have led him to being the head honcho of Undermine as well, hence we have to go there in 48 hours to remove him.
3 day special military operation to remove Gallywix

I know that… But, Gallywix and the Bilgewater cartel are also not all goblins. The same way the Darkspear aren’t all trolls.
Goblins are obsessed with commerce in all of its forms, and there are deals to be found everywhere. Sure, you can’t bring around a bonafide Bilgewater Goon into deep Alliance lands, but Steamwheedle don’t seem like a stretch to me.
The difference is cringe wasn’t officially mandated and supported by Blizzard devs in 2014/2015.
It is now. Monkey see, monkey do.

Bro has not read Cata-era quest text
Bro has not read anything past WoD.
They also added a void elf NPC talking about how new void elves deal with their transformation in DF, so I don´t think the whole “they all have to be members of this specific group” thing is even canon anymore. Especially with all the void elf NPCs in Telogrus added in Harbinger questline that have tentacles and normal skin tones.
Also, Xal´atath possessed a high elf corpse and turned her into a void elf. So, while she is definitely unique on account of being a powerful Void entity, it still creates a precedent that there are other ways for a high/blood elven body to be turned into void elven one at least on surface. It´s not exclusive to that one specific relic.

Time honoured tradition.
The coprophiliac was not ousted with the milk stealers.
TBH I prefer the dadcore, “haha poop” cringe and lite Marvel slop that we got before BFA over the cringe that made the likes of Portergauge its focus group.

Jokes aside though as much as Blizzard have missed the mark narratively in some of the expansions post-Legion, Legion itself I think was pretty good, I think it’s not unreasonable to think that BFA had a really strong start (and considering how many people still seem to want to RP their characters as if it was Battle For Azeroth, maybe the expac is a little over-hated), Shadowlands-
Well honestly Shadowlands pre-patch was actually kinda decent, could’ve been cool to have seen Azeroth suffering a zombie apocalypse (though given Covid-19 was right around the corner it’s probably an accidental bullet-dodge that it didn’t)
Dragonflight I’ll admit I have a personal bias towards, I genuinely don’t have issue with the plot but I’m aware that it’s a little divisive, and thus far I think TWW’s had some pretty decent story beats.
I don’t think Warcraft’s story is in a bad place, and I think there’s still potential to get some great tales here and there.

I don’t really see what’s there to disagree with, I’m stating a fact - these guys (no matter your opinions about perroy and his inner circle) brought roleplay into the server and a lot of people enjoyed it. I’m not saying this because I want to shill for them or excuse their behaviour. You get that, right? I think we can have a completely neutral take on these things without being held up by personal biases.
Okay, fair enough. That’s great! I can only say the same thing, with the caveat that I just have to spend a bit more time on the ‘curate’ part these days because there’s more things around now that sane people wouldn’t want to associate with.
I was talking about both, really. There’s also the issue with the last three expansions not offering a lot of real estate when it comes to interesting new concepts or narratives. I guess it got a bit better in TWW (but also worse, because Arathi characters in Stormwind/Stromgarde etc) but I’ve been part of discussions where people feel disappointed that they cannot connect with the ongoing Nerubian threat since it doesn’t really appear outside of Khaz Algar, unless you engage in roleplay where it does. It’s a massive downgrade on Blizzard’s part compared to how they have presented the Burning Legion’s threat and how it impacts the wider world in Legion.

Death Rising happened at the same time as Covid sorry to say broski.
Quite literally at it’s peak in November 2020.
There are definitely good elements which players can work with post-Legion. Danuser-era WoW had good parts. It’s just the unwashed masses refuse to engage with them and instead go with passive aggressive peacenik rp
