And, yes, I remember ‘Green Jesus era’

And the Eredar screw-up, and the “there must always be a Lich King,” and the disempowerment of dragons, and the premise of Warlords of Draenor, and…

They could literally offer Shogganosh a consultant’s fee which would amount to nothing for them, order him to scour the lore for six hours a week for two weeks, and thus outsource the headache of enforcing accuracy.
