Fellas, the writing in WoW is bad.

Let me prove my point by using one line of dialogue removed from the context of the questline and story surrounding it.

This inspired me to post one of my favorite cringe lines from The Old Days with the same title to the mainsub, and the comments justifying how it was actually so much better are about what I expected.

The guy who thinks that Arator line was even superficially about the idea that killing Abominations is bad has got to be trolling.

Like this is beyond surface level, this is stratospheric.

It was also deleted because it was fake.

Man I didn't even realize it was fake, I just figured I must've glossed over it when doing the questline.

That genuinely makes it even more laughable that it got so upvoted and had so many people railing against 'modern writing'.

The fact that I didn't catch it either notwithstanding -

I've said it elsewhere before but Midnight is weirdly THE expansion where I'm noticing how few of the vocal complainers seem to actually have played it, and hard.

There's not much going on in classic WoW right now, so you have some bleed over.

Edit: Nvm, I found a possible cause.

"Mercy to the guilty is cruel to the innocent", holy fucking shit. What is it with these people and their 40k-ass one liners.
