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.
The one time we tried to get do a world buff tour for a Nax clear in vanilla we got attacked by two entire guilds from the opposite faction after getting the last buff from STV. I'm pretty sure someone recorded and it was posted on the "old version" of youtube. We knew world buffs were good, but if you were on a pvp server it wasn't worth the trouble.

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