World of Warcraft Patch 12.0.5 is finally here… and we have a LOT to say about it. From questionable design decisions to frustrating systems, weird tuning, and the overall direction Blizzard seems to be taking, this patch left us more concerned than excited.In this episode, we break down everything that isn’t working for us, what feels out of touch, what’s actively hurting the experience, and whether these problems are just growing pains… or signs of something bigger for WoW going forward.Whether you’re enjoying the patch, disappointed by it, or somewhere in the middle, we wanted to have a real conversation about where WoW is at right now.
