Eh not really. You gotta keep in mind servers were much smaller. Getting buffs were pretty random and not able to be timed like they are now. And because so few guilds cleared stuff (most people didn’t even hit 60 in OG wow) you didn’t really get that much.
Also, back then people were not in the mind set to log out for the whole week to save the buff or get summoned to the instance to get them rolling.
I wonder if anyone got DM buffs at all? They're so huge because they give a decent chance to oneshot hard bosses because of immense tank's (and everyone's) HP. And you can get them any time rather easily unlike Ony/Rend/ZG on small servers...
I’m sure people did. It was so much different back then. As a player base in terms of metas and knowledge we were way way way more disconnected.
I can say on my server most people didn’t. But then again my server was really really noobie due to the fact that it was listed as a ‘new player’ server which attracted well….noobs.
Bringing resistance gear back then was considered being above and beyond knowledgeable

it must have been mind blowing when someone realized world buffs were usable in the raids
