As Shadowlands draws to a close, emallson and Anomoly are taking some time to look back at the expansion with the benefit of hindsight. This week on the podcast, we’re looking at patches 9.0 and 9.0.5 in particular. What was the good? the bad? the ugly? Were covenants actually that bad at launch? Spoiler: yes.
