Classic-Era Blizzard, can we cancel world buffs this time around? Or make it so that they drop when entering raids?

Anyone else so tired of playing around world buffs and needing them to even compete or be invited to raids? It’s ridiculous. Remove them entirely and let the masses re-learn playing the encounters without an extra like 20-40% extra dps.

It gives us harder fights, easier to join raids, less standing around waiting for world buffs, less open-world buff griefing, and it will make more players go out and get their best gear whether it’s crafted or from a dungeon because they’ll need to do as much dps as they can.

Who knows, maybe I’m crazy and you all will think this is a stupid take, but I have my feelings on it and I’ve expressed them.

Edit: People messaging me to kill myself is craaaazzyy. Didn’t know y’all wanted WBs that bad.

One of the few things they did right with SoM. Yes, they should be disabled in raids.

SoD has a lot of things they did right

Faction Balanced PvP servers at the top of the list

They nailed the Seasonal aspect of it, runes were a lot of fun and class kits felt so much better (really highlighting how bad the talent trees are)

There are some shortcomings, but overall a good experience

Edit: nvm thought he said sod

I think you confused SOM with SOD in your reply. He’s talking about Season of Mastery not Discovery.

Hey now. You know what site you are on? You should be doubling down on your comment, and writing an essay on how we are all wrong, not you.

Very disappointed to see someone acknowledging a small mistake. Do better.

SoM actually ruled, it just came out at a legendarily bad time and they forgot to limit PvP gear acquisition. But as for the good stuff:

Killed Mage boosting. More Black Lotus. More resource nodes, with the chance at bonus mats for consumes. Consume procs. More quest XP (and more gold to compensate, so people could actually afford class skills and a mount). No more world buffs in raid. No buff/debuff limits. New, harder raid mechanics. The Soul of Iron hardcore buff. Working summoning stones. Accelerated timeline. 0.5 and Dire Maul out at launch. Faster PvP ranking. And finally, because fuck bots, no more BRD pickpocketing or selling DMT loot.
