The way WoW is built up today you can skip the storyline and lore easily 
- intenionally or unintentionally.  I personally skip it especially 
because there are way too many of those "kill XX specific mobs"/"farm XX 
specific items from mobs" quests (and it gets much worse when you play 
the Outland quests!).  The boredom/repetitive quest styles while 
leveling easily drowns the storyline.  But!  If I play games like 
Baldur's gate, Deus Ex etc., I learn the lore behind it.  The gameplay 
in such games slows me down automatically. :)

When that is said.  The lore in WoW *is* quite complex!  I have given up 
keeping track of all the major npcs years ago. :)
