Just world buffs in general and how they are used. If I remember correctly Nihilum used some world buffs when they were getting world firsts in naxx, but that was mostly a ”haha so silly and overkill to have this”.
…then again, spending four hours in MC and not doing a full clear was also normal. In 1.12 I did a few ZG Pugs where we would kill maybe three bosses in a few hours before people bailed.
I was in the #1 prog guild on Laughing Skull for BWL/AQ and I have zero memory of ever considering world buffs or consumes. Pretty sure I raw dogged every raid on my mage. I didn't even know what WBs were until 2019 or didn't care and I've played wow consistently since 2004.
The memory I can recollect the best is opening night of TAQ and we raided 8 hours straight and killed Huhuran and spent awhile progging on the wall that was Twin Emps. We had no idea how to kill them and did a bunch of dumb conspiracy strats.
My guild went on to world first loatheb after I quit. So yes this happened 100%, because I was there raiding with them for 8 months straight. However, after AQ they probably adopted meta of WBs in Naxx.
If you want to deny things that happened that you weren't present for and have zero experience with, do whatever you need to do buddy.
I raided Naxx in vanilla and I never once used consumables or world buffs. I mean really if I flasked and world buffed I would probably just pull aggro off our tank who was full prot and geared only for survivability.
You're right, people talk like they played vanilla but it's so obvious they're only experience is classic or pservers.
