Better late than never, i’d say but… As the title suggests, bring in the SoD change that allows us to chronoboon every 5 minutes. This would allow players to stay online longer specifically to collect world buffs quicker.
The only obvious downside to this I can see is that you will be able to boon and unboon every 5 minutes even inside instances making for much easier use of world buffs in raids.
What say the rest of ye?
(At least anniversary wont have to deal with world buffs anymore in TBC, lol)

Chronoboon should not exist in Classic World of Warcraft.

Fully agreed, it shouldn’t take upwards of 4 hours to get fully World Buffed.
It removes a few interactions that the chronoboon has that are, I think, positive interactions. Strategy in unbooning and rebooning, raid collaboration to get buffs especially songflower and darkmoon faire, decisions in raid direction related to when buffs are out.
It would be convenient, for sure, especially for Anniversary that runs on a timer, but we’ve already lost a decent amount of world buff (and gold sink) to QoL over boons. I’m still of the opinion they need to be 10g again as it was the most significant added gold sink.
I agree it can be tedious when you log out after head and heart, log out after dmt, log out after songflower, log out after DMF (though I personally suffer the 5-10min loss of doing it in 2 chunks of buffs rather than 4 seperate). I’m just not sure 5 min boons is the answer. Maybe 30 mins instead of an hour?
Chronoboon is already big abuse, when blizzard introduced it, the main reason was “to allow players play game after they collect WBs and before the raid”, not to make collecting WBs with full duration easier and avoid PvP on the way. They should make that every buff can be booned only once, and once you unbooned, you can’t boon the same buff again. So once you already collected ALL buffs, you can boon them, so chronoboon can be used for its reason stated by blizzard (allow players play between collecting WBS and before raid), but won’t allow all those abuses (like saving buffs duration in raid for hard encounters) and avoiding PvP.
They could also just allow you to boon buffs without having to unboon. This would get around the headache of having to wait hours to rebuff and boon without changing how unbooning works in raids.
