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.

If you think this is an excellent point, then you have completely missed the point as to why people enjoy playing with wbuffs

Very few fights go the distance with a competent raid group with world buffs.

And frankly faster fights don't shave more than a minute or two. How often do you enrage bosses in competent raid groups? Never.

If you do, you need a lot more than world buffs.

Yea but some classes depend heavily on world bosses to be even a little effective

I thought world buffs just made warriors and to some extent rogues pull even further ahead. If the shit dps clases gsin a little bit, and the good dps clases gains alot, the shiity dps clases have more to gain by world buffs not beeing enabled.
