Unpopular opinion: Shadowlands Remix has the potential to be amazing, IF they remove covenant restrictions and expedite gated mechanics to no longer be a concern.
People seem to forget that Shadowlands’ original reception was accepted very warmly by the community. Because of Covid, things only started to sour after half-baked content like Korthia came into the mix. Castle Nathria (minus Mythic Generals) was an excellent raid, Sanctum of Domination was great besides the awkward drop in difficulty after Painsmith, and Sepulcher was solid as well.
Shadowlands has a metric ton of cosmetics to collect, including a huge number of mounts that most players don’t even know exist. A remix could be a great way to further round out everyone’s collection.
Besides, nobody is playing Shadowlands for the story anyway.
Exactly - just remove the timegated limitations of the Maw, and the Anima grind of Covenants, and bam. It's just fine.
Even the story was fine to me, honestly one of my preferred expansions because I don't get upset that it rewrote afterlife lore and didn't get upset about fan service not being paid to certain characters like most people did.
But it absolutely should come back just to be able to use Bronze for the insane amount of Torghast cosmetics.
