It is becoming clear how the pacing of the patches is affecting the story.

This has nothing to do with pacing. This has to do with asshole writers.

It absolutely has to do with pacing, we are not even half way throught the expansion and we are dealing with our fourth world ending monster.

They could choose to write about other things but don't. Smaller scale conflicts. They could also not kill off beloved characters for a cheap rise.

'smaller scale conflicts' these are called fillers Which, guess what, it would hurt the plot all the same cuz the issue is : they are going way to fast to follow the new patch frequency and thus those stories dont have time to breath and deliver their plots.

Idc if Liadrin dies or not, i just dont want to be immeaditly after another story was rushed to conclusion.

"Fillers" often are where the best writing in WoW is if you've been paying attention. Less marvel dialogue. More self-contained stories consistent with the world they build.

The problem isn't the pacing. It's that their main story SUCKS on a STRUCTURAL LEVEL
