If Shadowlands at release was more like Shadowlands now, I would have spent a lot more time in it - and had more fun.
The renown system killed all enthusiasm for me in the first few months after launch, especially considering I like to jump around on characters (I don’t have a main; I have whatever I feel like playing today).
I’m having fun now - with 2 months left in the expansion.
I loved those. It was a personal endgame for me to get the more difficult achievements.
