They lesson learned is, that they should have let some Fujoshi write for WoW, instead of some EQ "writers" and an old cat lady that can't cook and egg and take to twitter about it.

That's the thing: Fujoshi ALWAYS care, because that is their entertainment, and they fan over a good story.
Blizzard on the other hand hired writers that chased the "I wrote for the worlds biggest MMO!"
Also, the reason why Frances Townsend was hired slowly become apparent:

Think the debate about lore is missing the mark to some extent, it's increasing prominence was a part of a shift in game design from "world is the main character" to "the player is the main character". Some of the newer expansions you're basically playing a single player adventure game, you're constantly the hero and interacting directly with all of your faction's leaders. Compare classic WoW where your character is no one in particular and the game encourages you to work with other players starting around level 10.
Train your players to think of themselves as the main character and set up all your game systems so that other players are either an annoyance or a throw-away vehicle to be used for their progress, and it's no wonder that the playerbase ends up the way it has.
Secondary problem here is that shifting to a more story based model also means the lore/writing has to be a lot better and more complex than it does when it only has to explain why the world looks the way it does.

The vaxxed decided she wants more attention so shared more details. Furor had a boat too? I like that she think she got him but he is rich enough to just check out and live it up in Hawaii.

Sexually assaulted for an hour in a very public space filled with god knows how many people yet does nothing about it at all.
Ok. If this is true if you didnt care enough to stop the victimization in anyway other than "distracting" him with a drink why should I care?
