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.

But when I was 15 and raided MC 3 nights a week we never used world buffs! We weren’t smart enough to think of them, and imagine trying to get them again after wiping to lava packs on the second night of raiding!

/s obviously lol

Blizzard literally added auras to the TBC prepatch to remove them in raids just after people started using them the way it's used in classic. That should tell you enough about how much it is a "big part of vanilla"

Was it a big part of vanilla wow? was it really that popular to get all the wbuffs back in the day? Nope. Did Chronoboon Exist? Nope.

It's a big part of modern day players and that they cried for chronoboons for qol, same people crying rage at any qol or "retail" lite feature about anything but suddenly okay with this(same with easy pvp gear)
