Anti Boosting mechanic - annoying stun

Ya’ll remember that anti-boosting stun they implemented at the end of TBCC?
Can we get rid of it? Boosting is dead anyway and it’s just a dumb mechanic that prevents us from farming tmogs, old mats etc. efficiently.

Anti boosting stun? Can i be enlightened what the hell that is?

In TBCC there was a farm method in stratholme, where you could do decent pulls (as a prot pala) and get good money. People noticed that this also gave good xp, so people would buy a spot for afk boostrun in stratholme. 4 spots per group, for 15-20g per run per spot, and the paladin(booster) also get all the loot from the mobs. Making it a very profitable money-maker.

Obviously people didnt like it, so in order to prevent this, blizz introduced a stun from the mobs (and in other dungeons as well). So if the mobs are alive after X amount of seconds after being pulled, they would stun their target. Mini stun, that last for 1 second, but every mob would do it making them stun you to death.

This also goes THROUGH paladin-bubble ofc, so you cant bubble to prevent it.

Never had any issue with this farming old dungeons or raids.
Just kill them a little faster, cant be that hard right?

Issue that u cant do mega pulls on like half/full dungeon like it was before mass stun after 1 min in combat+ mobs teleporting to you after 1 min kiting or something like that. tho removing that may make life for bots farming dungeons abit easyer, boosting for cata anyway in outdoor areas.

What the hell, aight.
They just nuke Wowhobbs old gold farm spots. Uncool.

But thanks for enlightening me, appreciate it.
