BfA was all about making sure the Turtles got to the water and that Loh got all his food supplies and shopping done in an orderly manner.

BfA is a prologue as far as the story is concerned.
It introduces a lot of new plotlines that are carrying over into Shadowlands (and future expansions, most likely), both small and big.
There’s something with Sylvannas.
There’s something with Xal’atath.
There’s something with Azshara.
There’s something with Azeroth, The World Soul.
There’s something with Old Gods.
There’s something with The Drust and The Shadowlands.
There’s something with Bwonsamdi.
There’s something with Vol’jin.
There’s something with Tyrande.
There’s something with Calia Menethil.
And so on.
Most story plot in WoW play out over the course of many expansions. Sure, an individual expansion can have a satisfying ending where you beat the bad guy, but there’s usually an over-arcing plotline that goes beyond the single event that takes place.
So BfA sows a lot of seeds for the new stories that are going to be told.

Remember how Tyrande did a ritual to invoke her superpower and swore revenge and then literally nothing happened. Pepperidge farm remembers.

BFA was about redefining the word disappointed.

I agree with Paxmillian.
I will also add my point of view.
A filler expansion.
It was debated on the story forum that they went for the shock value.
That way players would be arguing in the forums instead of paying attention to the flaws on the game.
Congratulations.
I hated the story so much that I didn’t pass the War campaign and lost any interest I potentially could had have in Nazjstar, Mechagon and visions of N’zoth.
None of my characters at level 120 went past the introduction quest in Zandalar, aside from my BE paladin from my UK account, which I started to play once BFA launched.
A story that basically throws the Horde banner in the mud and everything the Warcraft 3 Horde ever stood for.
Cairne and Vol’Jin are dead.
Thrall is back but Sylvanas destroyed, with Teldrassil any trace of good will the Alliance had towards the Horde after they fought the Legion.
Sylvanas was always the black sheep of the Horde since I met the Forsaken in vanilla.
They weren’t based in Kalimdor as the rest of the Horde. Also they had too many bonds to the Alliance and the scourge.
In BFA their leader proves that she’s no better than Arthas himself and now the writers want to redeem her ?
What a laugh.
Lesson learned: you can burn an entire city full of civilians, hear their screams while they are burning alive, have the biggest smirk ever and be justified. 
Worst expansion ever for me.
All because the writers went for the shock value.
If anything BFA made me hate the lore, not wanting to buy novels but toss them out of the window.
Biggest irony is: before BFA that never existed for me because I usually found something I enjoyed doing. Always.
I believe Madeleine Roux, will do a stellar job with raising tensions and initiate conflict again since the previous author’s basic burned to the ground any hope of a everlasting ceasefire.
Pun intended.
Agree.
All of them could had their own theme expansion and they could had been great.
Azeroth wounds, Queen Azshara, N’zoth.
Magni would had been great as your guide to help Azeroth.
Queen Azshara would had been great for the Night Elves and Nightborne community.
A whole underwater city to explore that would rival Suramar itself, with the possibility of introducing the Nagas as a allied race.
N’zoth being freed at the end of Queen Azshara expansion and corrupting everyone in both factions, with civil war happening everywhere.
You would probably had to raid your leaders in order to remove their corruption.
As for the systems as Paxmillian already stated it was throwing everything at the wall hoping something stick to it.
Having to open icy veins to constantly look for the right builds = zero fun.
I lost track how many hours I spent there just to make that damn thing work, for TW and LFR.
For higher content I would have to sink more hours in to the content and sim my character(s).
But I guess it is working as intended.
Their purpose seems to make you lose as much time as it is possible in useless tasks that won’t matter scrap in the next expansion.
Corruption and Legendary cape will be deactivated.
Azerite gear will only work on Azeroth.
I don’t even know at the moment if I should stack Agility or secondaries like Critical and Haste when Shadowlands launches. 
Cheers.

Please never say this again Amazoner, we don’t say this person’s name ever as we fear he will be summoned and shout ‘Champion Azeroth needs you’.
Is it just me or did anybody else get so fed up with him that they muted game sound when they had to visit the chamber of heart?

BFA? It was a giant beta expansion used for experimenting on players, and testing our limits.
Also it was an expansion that they didn’t have enough time to work on, because most of the time was dedicated to legion, so everything came out half ready and badly designed.
Also, it was a waste of nazjatar and Nyalotha. 2 zones that could have been so much more than what they ended up being. SPECIALLY Nyalotha, which was soooo hyped for so long, only to be one raid and a very very very disappointing one in terms of story.
But we got Torghast 1.0 by the name of Horrific visions. So i guess, it had it’s ups as well as downs. But mostly downs.

BFA was aboot telling 3 stories that are not related with each other and that was able to make some thinking that WOD was actually not that bad.

Naga work for N’zoth so I see no reason why these two can’t be linked.
It was a faction war in which Sylvanas worked with Azshara to get her way.
It made sense.
I mean BFA was all about turtles making it to the water.
I think.
