What are you talking about? We will still have world buffs, we just have to spend more time and effort getting them and making sure we arrive with them.
This doesn’t stop world buffs, just removes a QOL feature that was one of the few good changes blizzard made.
I just confirmed with our dev team that yes, we intend Chronoboom Displacer to be usable in version 2.5 so that players who are raiding Naxx during pre-patch shouldn’t experience any difference.
I think the datamined item is just an older design that’s still hanging around, but isn’t being used at this time.
Noticed that as well… massive threads with thousands of replies and this one gets an almost immediate response…
That said, I am glad to see blizzard is paying attention, but it confirms they are ignoring pretty massive groups in order to not come out and say “no” or whatever lol
