I think Worldbuffs should be available in TBC as it is now. I understand the worldbuff meta is very annoying but gathering worldbuffs is actually very fun, for me anyway.
It is also optional unless you want to be in the top parse but it will keep Azeroth alive. One of the main reasons people do Onyxia is for the head pop or ZG mostly for heart and enchants.
In TBC there will be “0” things to do when you finish all quests get your phase BiS items. On realm discords people coordinate buff pops even buff Ganks which really adds the community feature to WoW.
I think they should add more worldbuffs from Eye of C’Thun and The Phylactery of Kel’Thuzad. This will make players go back and visit old content and maybe some for TBC bosses.
I also want to point out that WB’s were available at TBC until a certain patch so if we had gone in with first patch it would have been available.
No, world buff is most annoying mechanic in classic. There is reason why it was removed so early in TBC. It was never meant to be abused way it is now.
As optional as owning a car when you live 30km from your workplace.
I mean, you COULD cycle to and fro every day!
Which will take the average player months to do.
Also, adding something that has to be done, is neither fun nor engaging in any way, breeds hostility and toxicity everywhere, and breaks the games balance, adds to the fun and engaging things to do…how exactly?
Yes, I am sure “guild xyz trolled nef reset plz report all”, and people targeting opposing guilds tanks/topDPS to set them back, really added to the community aspect of the game. Like a meteor strike.
I also want to point out that consumable stacking was available at TBC until a certain patch as well. Maybe we should bring that back too, I am sure it’s tons of fun if every. single. death. wipes about 120 gold from our characters.
Oh, and another thing that existed earlier in TBC: DoTs were not affected by Resilience. I definitely think we should bring that one back too, because good luck everyone but us warlocks in Arena.
And ofc we should DEFINITELY bring back Kel Advisors/Weapons bugging into the ground on kill, or pre-patch tuning for T5 content and SWP. I am sure lots of people will find it endearing to not being able to clear the content
I am pointing out what I think.
As I raid I enjoy getting all I can get from my character and raid logging for me is no problem as I have lots of alts I play during my off time.
Clearing max level content will not take months maybe a month if you are slow but I expect most content to be completed very fast.
I don’t play alts so it is issue for me. And yes it is optional, but providing too big adventage to be skipped. Noone wants to put him or her self to disadvantage against others in multi-player game.
Worldbuffs have been pretty fun. So much drama about getting them or loosing them was entertaining. It encouraged PvP because it’s way more fun to kill players when they have world buffs to loose… Having world buffs is like having a big target sign on your head.
How dumb is the player base tho? They call it the “worldbuff meta” and that it’s “cancer” but they all run after those buffs? How sad is the life of a meta sheep?
I understand the worldbuff meta is very annoying but gathering worldbuffs is actually very fun, for me anyway.
Some people love getting their cubes stepped on but the majority don’t.
So no they can do away with WB’s it’s the absolute worst thing about Classic - people hate getting them, griefers love dispelling them, you often have to not play your character until raid time sometimes having to stay logged off for numerous days, you have to go through a covert operation to make sure your guild gets inside a raid instance with all WB’s, wipes instantly cause a sour mood due to them being a one time deal.
If you think people getting world buffs is something that is keeping the game alive and “something to do” then I honestly feel sorry for you.
As for “nothing to do” once you got raid/PvP BiS:
-Level alts and raid on them
-PvP - Arena or BG’s

Probably because they DON’T ENJOY getting them but feel forced to do so to help the raid out. Good luck getting in any guild that raids Naxx without being a “meta sheep”.
Most players are already consum stacking in naxx, its the same as it was in early tbc(I’m happy it won’t be in classic bc). There is a worldbuff in tbc that gives you 295sp for 30min
