If stormrend isnt possible I propose two minor changes:
1: Rend buff no longer has a 3 hour cooldown, and can be turned in infinite amount of times
2: No mind control needed for Alliance to acquire WCB.
Thoughts?
You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to or it’s inconvenient.
No to both.
There’s plenty of qol/time savers in other Blizzard offerings.
Let Classic Era remain distinct from them.

I’m looking for people who want to have a discussion not shoot down ideas. The argument about not wanting change in a game that already has so many is not a valid argument.
Next!
I mean, you asked for thoughts, and the person gave their thoughts, they don’t want either change/idea/thing to happen.

So I gave them.
You don’t get to determine which comments have merit because you agree. This is a discussion. The view expressed just happens to be one you dislike.

What is they renamed it “Very good buff that has zero chance to harm integrity of the game”.
Would you support them adding “VGBTHZCTHIOTG”?

Yeah I guess you’re right I did ask for thoughts.
However, my point still stands about your argument being fundamentally flawed, arguing for no changes.
Which really is the main point of why I posted the message

You can’t say that no changes isn’t a valid argument just because changes have happened. People shutting down changes is very valid. Otherwise we’d have a heck of a lot more changes. By virtue of supporting a 20 year old game that moved to Era to be preserved, the default is and should continue to be no changes, despite the fact that some changes have happened.
That being said, I’d be fine if they made it so you don’t need to MC to get it… just need to be in org. I’d rather not have them make it repeatable though (or any WBs for that matter).
While I’d be fine with it, I’d STILL rather not have any changes at all. I wouldn’t be happy with them making any changes (beneficial to me or otherwise) when my #1 priority is to see them preserve vanilla wow, flaws and inefficiencies and all.

Nice thing about the cool down is you have a good idea of when a buff will go out and you can plan around that. Usually within 5-10 minutes of rend going off cool down it’ll go out.
The other nice thing is people are more likely to hold onto their rend head and drop it when it’ll give the buff. This means that we’ll have rend buffs for longer without the need to level fresh 60s just to have more rend buffs.
And at the end of the day I’d rather not go any further down the path of changes. I fear what it might lead to. Best to leave Classic Era as is.

Weighing in with my two cents…
I don’t have much of an opinion on the cooldown if I’m being honest, I might have to mull that over more. However, I do feel strongly on the inifinte turnin part. I think that undermines what world buffs are supposed to be. I realize what the players have turned them into, but I think if you just make them easier to get you might as well remove them entirely and just nerf the content by whatever percentage world buffs give you.
As the buffs are right now you’re supposed to work for them and that’s supposed to dictate whether you get them or not. Alliance has to work a little too hard for Rend, but if you made it repeatable then it would just be a revolving door of rend buffs. Right now it is like that but if people aren’t willing to make alts for buffs there will eventually come a time when people have to start making hard choices about whether they buff or not… and honestly, I feel like that’s how it was supposed to be all along.
I’m a big fan of just taking Rend away from Alliance. It was clearly not meant for them. However, this is the next best thing. There’s just no value in making Alliance work this hard for it. Either they’re meant to piggyback off a Horde drop or they aren’t.
Ship it!
WCB is a type of buff that leaves vagueness in its wording/reward that could allow more questlines created for a 2nd opportunity at the buff, but infinitely repeatable just makes them an arcane brilliance or prayer of fortitude, and thus mean very little.

My thoughts are to please leave Classic Era alone. Please.

You’re looking for people who agree with you, and how to implement your ideas, not a discussion.
