I think the backstory is currently malleable, ready to fit any and all of Blizzard's needs. Which is good. But I also feel they could be doing a much better job of it.

Pete is right - is this high fantasy, or is it "just a game"? They seem to be leaning hard toward the latter. As such, any backstory is just the "blah" stuff you have to click through to get the next fetch quest going. Anachronistic humor just tilts the balance that much farther.
But hey - as long as they're starting from scratch, they should write in some potential friction among the races of the Horde, since it's almost impossible to have balanced RvR with only two factions.
