I think especially with how much worse the wb meta is going to get with stronger wbs coming out. I do think that it’s good for us to have to go out in the world and collect these buffs in order to enhance our performance in raids, but allowing us to keep these buffs when we die inside of a raid would make it significantly less toxic. I can’t count how many times I’ve pugged a group where someone leaves and the whole raid disbands because they got mad that they lost wbs (this same argument can be made for consumables like mongoose elixirs, giants, etc.).
I want to mention that this should only be the case inside of raid instances (like st, mc, bwl, etc.) and that I think we should still lose them if we die OUTSIDE of a raid instance, but keep them if we die INSIDE a raid.
Nah we lose our raid progression instead. Because nobody wants to join a partially cleared run. Allowing them to keep wbs makes people less likely to sabotage their raid because they couldn’t parse. This is the whole reason of what makes the wb meta so toxic.
Yeah that’s why you have to go out and collect them yourself. They still wouldn’t be handed to you by just showing up to raid.
It doesn’t effect me personally though because I’m in a guild and our guys don’t get butthurt and grief our raid because they couldn’t parse 1 week. My suggestion would fix a lot of the issues with pugs doing this though and I genuinely don’t understand how that would be an issue at all.
So if I chose not to sit in felwood waiting for a flower to be up to click on it, I would just get songflower buff upon entering ST? Never said it was hard to get wbs, just that you still had to go out and get them. Nothing in classic is hard tbh lol.
You can’t boon while in combat, in a fight where you’re about to die. Just figured you’d wanna know that. They’d still be useful since you would still lose them outside of raids.
Nah, their ease of being lost is what makes them fun to use. I wish they’d ditch chronoboon too. Getting to raid with your buffs at a high cooldown without getting purged really makes them feel well earned.
In era durring naxx 40 raiding i landed in lights hope chapel and the gaurds just clapped me, world buffs gone. I had done nothing to get attacked by the gaurds my pet was on passive, had not done any pvp right before flying, etc. It made for a great memorable moment. Sure i was mad at the time, but me and my raid laughed about it.
