Man, every single time I try to do anything in Shadowlands like dungeons, raids, covenant weeklies, whatever, I get reminded of all the reasons why I hated this expansion so much back then.

It’s constant back-and-forth to the covenants just to dump anima that unnecessarily clogs up my bags across a million slots. Long and boring travel times, constantly forced through that damn Oribos that you couldn’t even fly in. Then I see a transmog item I actually like, but it’s locked behind a million anima that takes forever to farm, plus several other stupid little currencies in these microtransaction-like systems that completely kill my motivation to chase mogs, mounts, or literally anything in this cursed expansion.

What an absolute nightmare of an expansion. It trapped us in this endless grind of currencies, specific reputations, so many annoying covenant events/minigames that require a ton of effort yet, and insane RNG on top of it all. And half the time the currencies aren’t even transferable or only partially transferable between covenants. Everything costs absurd amounts of anima and other currencies too, and so much stuff is still time-gated or was seemingly eternally forgotten by the devs when it comes to updating these systems.

god, what a miserable expansion lmao...
