World buffs are killing the game and joy. What is the point of walking around the map and trying to collect 4x - 5x world buffs ? Yes, you can claim if you don’t want you don’t have to collect but you are definetly wrong. Most of the raid leaders that i encountered demands world buffs to accept you in their groups. As a solo player, getting all world buffs is almost an impossible job. Geting all buffs can be only done with dedicated raid members who are raiding all instances each week.
Why i am forced by blizzard to travel STV, and wait there for hours in the hope of someone returns Hearth of hakkar ? After that, i need to go back to stormwind and i should wait for someone to return Head ? How this thing helping solo players ?
The problem, raid leaders on classic have no idea about this game. They are untalanted old people and playing classic wow because they cannot Mythic / Heroic raid in retail. They think everyone in their raid group as untalented as they are and so they force people to get world buffs for smooth runs. What is the point of raiding if world buffs putting more than player’s current gear ? What is the point of farming gear if world buffs are stronger than T2, T3 sets ?
Just remove these buffs, and let avarage solo wow players enjoy this game. There is no point trying to get 5x world buff in the hope of being accepted in AQ40 group.
how my attitude don’t suit wow classic which is full of toxic people like me. Especially raid leaders who demands all world buffs and all consumables for AQ40 or BwL ?
I completely agree. Even if it means higher gear requirements and stricter raid composition it would be still better
yea, they can also give tokens to all players for attending ZG, BwL and Onyxia raids instead of 1 and only drop of hearth or head. By this way all the people who joined ZG, Onyxia, BwL can get their damn world buffs next week instead of waiting and hoping for someone to turn head / hearth. But i am sure even if this happens, now raid leaders won’t accept 2x world buffs and force people to get 60 FR an DM tribute buffs.
Just remove, whoever thought this is a good idea should be inspected because probably he/she is working for rival MMOrpg game.
Because Classic is an old school mmorpg where u have to socialize if u want to do endgame content.
Since u said u are a solo player, retail is much more fitting.
They experimented with this in SOM and it was a failed experiment, people preferred World Buffs and Blizzard changed their stance on them as a result of that experiment.
classic’s top end raiding revolves around speed running and for that the punishing nature of losing world buffs works excellent. the game in and of itself is trivial but thats not the point
They can make gathering world buffs easier, you can get some tokens by attending ZG, Onyxia and BwL and next week you can talk to a NPC and give that token to get your world buffs. At the current state, world buffs mean nothing to solo player, you cannot just get 5x buffs by yourself, it is time wasting.
Dropping buffs is a social event by itself. The whole server logging on during ony drop and flying to westfall to ride to yojamba isle on mass was always really cool to me.
Also, I’m pretty sure it’s quite the spectacle for new players to see a few hundred 60s ride past dead mines.
edit: Sure, summoning people got more prevalent in later phases, but there were still alot of people how would ride there. Flying to Westfall and then riding to yojamba isle taking around 5 min with epic mount.
I dont want to spend my 5 minutes for boring world buffs. They should either be removed, or nerfed, or as a last option gathering them must be simpler. My game time is wasted because of world buffs.
Instead of making a thread looking for likeminded individuals, you are making a thread trying to remove worldbuffs for everyone…
What happend here?
You DO know that you can go for top parse (competetively) with NO worldbuffs as long as you enforce it on everyone in the raid and to be honest, that would be way more hardcore than the ones using full worldbuffs.
Because they are killing the game, you can put more damage with blues if you have world buffs. It means, world buffs clearing raids not you and it is not fun. Raids can be tuned down to keep untalanted people in game, but trying to get world buffs consuming our valuable time.
I don’t think, they are just complaining people on forums, if a live survey done in game result will be 90% remove 10% keep world buffs. They are just burden, they kill balance, no fun.
I am ok if they make getting 5x buffs simpler like talking to NPC. Not trying to remove them. But if i was in charge i would remove them.
I DO know you cannot put more damage if you don’t have world buffs because they are broken.
avarage wow player ( 99% of the game ) don’t care about top parse or competative play on classic. If you want to compete, i would recommend mythic raid in retail but again mast majority of classic players cannot even pass through 1st boss of mythic aberrus.
Yes, majority don’t.
But what does that have to do with anything?
I am saying you can go hardcore or not, depending on your own wishes, without worldbuffs, just find a guild that you feel fitting in with that don’t embrace the worldbuff meta.
Then dont play classic if you value your time.
Getting wbuffs, with boon in the game,is literally a 20 min ordeal for all the buffs. Its 5 min for the two biggest buffs outside of DMF week.
If 20 min is to much of a time sink then how can you even afford to raid. A full buffline on consums will take you 4x-10x as long, without RMT of course.
