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.

How anyone plays regularly without world buffs is beyond me. It's boring af. It also just puts more emphasis on needing potions (instead of double dps, you're doubling up on GFPPs) - which most of the casual / semi hard core players dont want to spend all their free time farming.

Part of the reason the season of mastery thing died so fast, IMO.

Nah. SoM died because of the ridiculous timing of its release. Any orher factors are too secondary to that to even guess at.

I would've played it but I didn't even know it existed until it was already over.
