So we are a large group of people who really love the “One button” spell.

But Wowhead made an article https://www.wowhead.com/news/estimated-dps-loss-with-highlight-assist-and-one-button-rotation-in-patch-11-1-7-377287

You can see the DPS loss by using the One button.

Up to 40% , even 15-20% is way to much. but anyway, when some of them saw this, they just lost all interest in playing, why even try.

Remove the GCD on the one button spell. And if people dont like the spell, dont use it. But this is a gamechanger for many of us.

What do you even try if you use the one button rotation? … You literally don’t try anything…why does it even matter to them that it leads to a lower output?

Anyways, it wasn’t meant to be as good as an OPTIMAL manual rotation. If your friend don’t grasp this concept, perhaps it’s not a big loss that they quit.

You know what would be the game changer? While we are talking about having to press a button, why not implement a feature that does raids and M+ for you while you are logged out? I’d like to have a 3,5k rating, but I think it’s ableist towards bad players if we still have to actually run the dungeons ourselves. Blizzard should implement a feature that lets our mains get rating while I farm herbs on an alt.

Again its not a “One button”, many of your CDs are still a button, so you have to use more then just one.

Many people dont want to learn 30 spells, and on top of that, have over 30 keybinds, that is not fun, to for one remember 30 binds, but also when to press them. Games should be about fun, relaxing and not the real world.

But i hope blizzard change this GCD, removing it.

For free is not the same as “Moving + using 10 buttons”

Correct, cooldowns are not rotational abilities. Nice find…

At what level did your friends play? I can’t imagine that it’s Mythic raids or > M+10 if they don’t find joy in remembering 30 keybinds. As there’s 0 reason to be performing in the 100th percentile for Delves, Normal/Heroic raids, or M+ up till like 14…

In all honestly, the OBR will probably be nerfed further, not buffed.

Oh no, moving and 10 buttons? You’re right, that’s asking way too much of people. If your friends have tried nothing and are out of options, my suggestion might be able to help them!

we are all old raiders, we raided hardcore from vanilla to end Legion.

But are getting pretty tired of all the spells. And if you wipe, its all over spamming all your spells, because thats super fun.

Insane if they nerf it, when 99% love the spell. When blizzard looks at the stats of the huge amount of people who manly use this spell, im pretty sure a nerf is not in order.

Your frinds could not exeute a proper rotation. As a result, they probably could not do M+ keys, or Raids.

And now, they had the hopes they could get high rating, high rio, or CE with a single button. And are dissapointed and rage-quit the game.

How old are your friends? 15 years old?

Cause this:

Should come with wisdom. Wisdom to know that you got limitations and should be content with what you do. And people >> all.

I mean… I am not 20 anymore. And cant run marathons with 0 training and 0 pain anymore. So i gotta live with my “old age” and accept it. That includes wow.

But apparently your friends forgot that memo in their 16th birthday.

Or maybe learn to play the game as it is intended ? There are mobile mmorpg that specifically caters "your friends " with AFK auto mode .

I’d argue the opposite. If 99% use this button, a nerf is in order. That, and a rework of all the spec designs in the future.

Then they just don’t like the game. So be it…find another one.

And they will see many more quit the game.

They stuck arround for years with out the 1-button. And now that it’s here they quit? Weird to say the least.

That is not how people function. If you give them a bone, even if they have not had that bone before, if you take it away, they will be mad. Same reason they cant remove LFR.

But do i think the “One button” is the best solution? No not at all, but its better then what we got.

Imo the best solution would be to remove most spells, so each class had a max of 10 spells (Attacks, GCD etc)

MOBAs exist, play those instead. The situational abilities kind of belong in WoW. And rotations consisting of 5-10 abilities too. If that’s too much, so be it.

Many people play mmorpgs to live in another world, to ba apart of a new world, get away from the real world.

A moba is just a loby game, not a world

Also, all new mmorpgs only uses 10 spells max or less, there is a reason for that.

How dare you ruin my immersive experience of living on a lane last hitting units for money!?

What bone did they take away? None for now… So why quit?

Look. Data shows that the 1 button is ~ parsing between 70 and 80% in raid. That is insane. That means that you do much more dps than required in anything bellow the 3rd boss in Mythic.

So. Last week you either parced less than that, in which case its a gain. Or more than that, in which case it doesn’t affect you.

So why do they quit the game then? Its an overall dps increase!!!
