1.is the lore even good? personally I can't stand the "slain by a group of adventures" for important characters, it's super dumb

To expand on this a little, I think they've gotten a lot better at this... at least as much as they can, given that the game itself is still structured such that end-game content is tackled in... literal groups of adventurers.

But typically there are main storyline characters that accompany you on the raid, and who get a lot of the lore credit for the ultimate accomplishment. You basically play the role of a hero who is physically present for every single important thing that happens anywhere, but is happy to sit in the background, take no credit, and let the NPCs have all the glory. So it ends up less as "This evil villain was slain by adventurers" and more like "This evil villain was slain by Thrall... and some adventurers." More and more, your allies actually will be present in the fights with you, either giving you combat advantages or at least shouting encouragement... so it's not as if that's not really true, either.

Also you don't really kill that many "important" characters.

And about 50% of people who "die" in this universe inevitably find some way to come back eventually anyhow.
