I think the next thing they need to address is the pathing and reset spots that allow boosters and gold farmers to exist in the first place.
Bracing to get flamed in 3…2…1…

Hurts more gold farmers. Hard to find a legitimate 5 man dungeon groups for questing/clearing capping lockouts every hour. 30 is excessive amount instances.

I agree, the ZG farms are a problem and the fly hackers are even worse - but Blizzard isn’t even addressing the latter.
in every other MMORPG ever those are called “pathing exploits” and perma bans

Oh it’s coming 
Good luck finding dungeons in the first place, even without boosting there weren’t enough new characters being leveled to run dungeons easily. Boosting made it so that you could actually get the instances done - either by paying gold, or a friend helping you.
This also hurts people farming pre-BiS/BiS.
Really, they made the game. if you are capable of doing something with the game they made with the abilities they created is that exploiting? This is 15 years old ya’ll, if we need to change something now its most likely their personnel

I’m not a mage, though I’m not angry. This change doesn’t actually affect me, I just think it’s misguided and not addressing the real problems.
In every other MMO they actually ban the bots.
what mmo’s you been playing the entire genre has been ruined with bots, OSRS, GW2, ESO
you name it, its botted to all hell
So you’re saying that Blizzard shouldn’t even bother trying to ban bots?
I don’t think it was ever there intention of allowing a single class to pull the majority of an instance (200+mobs), or half of a 20man raid trash packs. Call me crazy, but some would call that explotive
I posted on a mage, nut mage isnt even my primary class…hold my beer.
True but limiting resets isnt fixing pathing

They also didn’t intend Druids to DPS, but here we are. Players found a way to make it work - by getting creative.
Its like getting shot and instead of going to the hospital they slap a bandaid on it.
I already used the example it’s like the government responding to the increased reports/videos of police brutality by banning mobile phones, rather than addressing the core issue.
False equivalency.
Druids can tank and DPS just fine in Vanilla. MCP is nice but isn’t required.
Ball is in Blizzard court right now. The forums are pissed about the change so all we can do is wait and see if they care or not. I have yet to see a updated response by them.
Well, I hope they would. FIX the pathing than change this hotfix
