They obviously didnt revert it yet. That doesnt mean they shouldnt revert it. Its a garbage change that serves no purpose and youre still a joke for blindly supporting it.

Have they said anything about giving us a reliable in game counter so we know how many instances we’ve done and when our resets cool down etc? Or does anybody know of a reliable addon for counting across multiple characters even when they share some but not all instances?
I remember Bliz said at one point early on that they hadn’t observed many legit players hitting the cap. This makes sense since a lot of players will only do it during certain periods like spamming arena/anger for drops you only need once on each character, or getting your mats together for raid consumes ahead of a new patch.
I’m currently starting the latter and would really like a reliable way to track how many instance locks I’m using. The weak auras one doesn’t work (last I checked) since I’m using multiple characters to farm, sometimes the same instances (bringing my herbalist in after everything is cleared to grab herbs).

I believe there are weak auras available that track (decently-well) the number of resets you’ve had in a given session… as for addons, not sure.
Sure would be nice if they have no plan on reverting this annoying change, to at least give us an easier way to track the # of resets used/remaining…
When you judge the effectiveness of a change by how many of your customers it makes angry.

InstanceCounter or the WeakAura “Instant History - Extended”. I run both in tandem and it seems to work pretty well. However; I still randomly lose an instance as even by manually keeping track and the addon I somehow still hit the 30 cap somewhere between 26-28 in the last 24 hours.
Yep, and in this case it seems like it’s bothering very very few actual legitimate players, who were shockingly doing the exact thing this change was aimed prevent.
Well at least you’re finally ready to admit the purpose of this change was to limit legitimate play, because that’s the only thing it does.

This is the most commented thread in this entire forums history with the vast majority of comments against the change and you’re saying “very very few”. There are only a small handful of people arguing for the change with literally 100s of comments from those individuals(yourself included with 211 posts in here…). Sure bud.

The clueless people that use the “very few people” argument are the ones that also argue that Blizzard’s blanket bans don’t effect legitimate players and if you are banned you were obviously botting because Blizzard can do no wrong.

Right, when there is clear evidence for some people who were wrongfully banned. Arleaus for example. But i’m sure there are a lot who got caught up in the automated system because it’s not perfect and some* suspicious behavior can be explained. Obviously it’s a case by case basis…but that’s the issue with a giant ban wave using automated systems.
You mean like the owner of the game, the ones who have the most accurate data? Those clueless people?
Blizzard decided that being able to spam 120 dungeons per day was over the top explotive gameplay. So, by their definition (the only one that counts by the way) it is not legitimate play but explotive behavior and they’ve introduced a change to limit that behavior. You can agree with the change, disagree with it, but the final aribiter of “legitimate” play is Blizzard defined by the rules they enforce in the game.

You’ve gotta be pretty naive if you believe the garbage that Blizzard posts. If “very few” people were effected by this change then explain this
I have quite a few comments in this thread, as does the character you replied to. There are quite a number of comments in support of, against, or that don’t care about the change, like mine. Plus many of the replies are back and forth discussion about the change and even some unrelated items. I haven’t bothered counting the unique character replies, for/against/neutral etc. and obviously neither did the person you quoted.
It still doesn’t change the fact that this is the most controversial issue that has ever been discussed on these forums. My point is that if “very few” people were affected by the change then this thread would not have exploded like it has.
Nah, not really a valid point. I just happen to find participating in the forums entertaining and I’m probably not alone. Plus it seems to be primarily a few posters that have kept the thread going. Heck, some of these posters have over 1000 and some thousands of posts, lots have hundereds of posts. It is obvious that if you have hundreds or thousands of forum posts you post a lot. So either enjoy the activity, or are really really sensitive 
P.S. Plus every time I, or anyone else bumps the post it gives more casual forum goers a chance to read/comment. Oh, and don’t forget the Trolls that like to “stir the pot” whenever possible.
You mean the trolls claiming this change is good or only effects a few legitimate players?

100’s of people out of the entirety of classic’s playerbase is very few.
To be trolled you have to be triggered, if someone believing Blizzard when they say very few legitimate players were affected triggers you, then sure, by your definition I guess anyone that disagrees with you is a troll. But that is a pretty depressing outlook.

Very few players go into the forums at all compared to the total player base. So your point is?
