i think they did away from the rep due to how easy was it to farm it
but rare crafting components and recipes would be good

I mean you cc during pull though.
In reality what does ccing a mob with sheep add to the dungeon?
Not much! I was just reminiscing about a time when things were - different? Not better, not worse, just different.
Sheeping stuff is similar to stunning stuff on pulls or interrupts I guess.

I mean, Blizz tried to make CC mandatory at one point because the people demanded it and it went about as poorly as you imagined, and resulted in them both nerfing all casually accessible content to be much easier AND made cc not aggro stuff.
Trash still matters in a different way
Instead of just poly one and be done, you gotta watch the mobs the entire fight to make sure their kill move doesn’t happen
O yah gameplay wise they’re still very relevant in the moment. I was just wishing they’d drop stuff. :3
Yea that part is fair, they really just exist for exp/clear % now

Someone needed to say one of the most common things on the forums?
Plot Twist. Since he took over, 5 man dungeons have been 100x more relevant than ever.
Always feels weird to me just not looting even a boss on m+. Like that is core rpg mechanics. A reward after every boss and some trash drops from trash with every once in a long while you hit a jackpot and get a purple you can sell for a nice cash prize.
Just imagine that in a real dungeon scenario. Just killed a pack of bandits, or a dragon sitting on treasure and not taking a breather to regain stamina, energy, mana, patch your wounds or chipped sword or plunder the loot and instead just keep running to the next threat.

WoW evolved from what it was. You’re talking about a completely different design philosophy that they grew out of over the years which was a more DnD approach that was slow and methodical.
The videogame industry evolved quite a bit and is now far more oriented toward action/dynamic content and WoW wasn’t spared.
I miss when gear actually felt like it meant something period. I no longer look through loot tables of dungeons planning out what gear i want to get because gear is so homogenized now theres no point, every piece of gear is pretty much the same now. Just go run a dungeon and get your generic drop because it doesnt matter. I want things like ironfoe or hand of justice runs back, I want blue gear to actually be exciting again. I want stats to not be so boring like they are now, like who the hell gets excited over versatility? I miss when the game actually made you think about your stats like defense and whatnot and there being stat cap milestones.

Can’t put loot on trash. The M+ crowd would get angry one piece of loot from trash can’t be looted due to loot being copies of boss loot with bigger stats.
Blizzard makes WoW a great game, then the rewards committee strips the rewards out of the content for business reasons.
if you feel like WoW is unrewarding in any aspect of the game, this is the reason.
remember when epics dropped in the world ?
I did timewalking Everbloom a few times last week . There is an optional spider boss in that . no groups wants to do it . This is why it was discontinued especially if you have profession quests like this , it gets quite nasty

With things like that…I think you need to treat people like children.
There are some activities people need to do, like profession quests, class quests, etc, and that might need to take some group effort. You’re not gonna want to do it at first, but eventually, if you keep it in the game, you’re going to be in their shoes - and then you’re going to ask for help - and hopefully you’ll learn your lesson, and help others. :3
And if you don’t? Well there’s…er…always unsubbing! 
And aye my dear, I’m asking for a return to that. Current gameplay is…icky. Too cut and dry. I’ve been playing lots of classic lately and it’s lovely because…i feel like I’m living in the zones. I’m enjoying levelling, I know how certain mobs react as I encounter them and I know my strengths and weaknesses.
I miss that in retail.

I miss the days before I became jaded and also the days before i discovered forums.
I miss when any loot dropped.
I have to agree with orctang the ridiculous farming you have to do to even get a weapon to drop is quite lame at times but alas all the crying about to much loot dropping then we get the beginning of SL with nothing dropping and the mass unsub.
