There was no emotional pull, nor any emotional stakes. The only characters we could possibly care about are the dragons, which would only lead to confusion in seeing, especially hearing Alex's words, due to Cataclysm's ending. Is the end of Cataclysm a victim of retcon now? They spent their powers, yet here Alex is saying they've laid dormant for thousands of years, and now our time is up and their time is now (_{john cena})?

Those Dracthyr sound like a plot hole as well. Why they are awakened just now? Rather odd timing how dragons suddenly remember about them. We could have used their help during various invasions of the Legion, Deathwing, Scourge and Jailer. I wonder if there won't be even more contradictions, like Centaurs originated in Kalimdor, as a result of Zaetar and Therazane. However, now we have some "primal" Centaurs in those isles.

Aspecsts have lost part of their powers in Cataclysm, but they are still quite powerful. Perhaps they will regain some of that power?

I swear I heard them say Deathwing created the Dracthyr. Then what the hell were all his experiments we saw during Cataclysm?

 

I also SWEAR I heard one team member say the Dragon Isles centaur are the oldest ones, "older than the ones on Kalimdor," yet minutes later a different team member said the green dragon flight took some centaur that came here from Kalimdor and uplifted them.

 

I just don't know, man. Darts at a dart board.

I haven't played WoW since late 2018 (around 8.1), but if I came back I'd damn sure have a hunter tame as many ducks as possible.

 

edit:

my original hunters are orc and troll, but man the thought of a goblin with a squad of ducks would be amazing.

Exactly, how come there were any Centaurs before Zaetar and Therazane made them?

And those Dracthyr, if they are so good and special, why they were abandoned by Deathwing? I think writers meant they were made by him before this corruption, so he was still called Neltharion. Anyway, that plot hole remains, since most of his later experiments were utter failures or they were quite unstable, yet Dracthyr seem fine, sane and powerful.
