One of my favorite parts of classic was taken away

You can still boost your friends, it may take an extra day or two.

don’t speak for others…I don’t agree with this

@Toast-myzrael

I figured they would realm hop but you’re absolutely right, this could also just encourage more open world botting and more fighting for resources.

Thats my secondary concern about it.

My primary concern is that I’ve already seen a guildie hit the limit this morning.

Also, with AQ40 coming out, this is going to really make farming for NR gear a pain in the tail.

This is a bad f***ing joke. Canceling sub.

[Twinkeltoes-blaumeux-1029162]

Says someone who doesnt farm instances. GTFO

If you don’t farm instances then we don’t care about your opinion @everyone.

[Xci-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Yeah I absolutely agree with OP. I like to grind gold on my mage doing ZF and I locked myself out and now I cant make the raid today and am going to face discipline because of blizzards breakneck descision.

Cancelled sub aswell

You don’t need a sub to post on the Classic forums.

Expect to see prices for anything commonly farmed in instances skyrocket. Cloth, Arcane Crystals, herbs from lasher farms, bloodvine, etc. Do you think the average player will benefit from this?

I would consider myself an average player. I probably play 4-6hrs a day depending. If I even farm instances I do an hour worth and call it a day. All my raid consumes, cloth, arcane crystals I gather on my own and the rest I sale on the ah. So yes, if prices rise this will definitely benefit me.

Any hobby done for 4-6 hours per day in no way, shape, or form is “average”

If you painted for 4-6 hours per day would say you have an average painting hobby?

[Hadriann-tichondrius]

Literally the most generous guildmate cough bot cough i’ve ever seen. Does over 30 boost and or sgc hoj runs for his guild mates daily then also raids same night. Easily 10+ hours playing wow in 24 hrs. All this for free btw.

may as well just put playtime limitations on wow accounts then if you wanna go down this road.

[Frosto-faerlina]

@Andycloud-hellscream

it does reduce their viability.

How so?

How would you determine viability of a bot?

Then, are you comparing that to something? Such as viability of not botting?

What do those values look like previous to the 30 instance per 24 hour period lock?

What do those values look like after?

4-6 hours a day is roughly the amount of dedicated focus time I spend on my professional career (not including meetings, etc.) focused on tasks relative to the field of my expertise.

I know plenty of people who are like this. It doesn’t seem like something that would be uncommon on a weekend, or for many people whose main activity and socialization is playing WoW.

I don’t care how much people play it’s their business.

Trying to rationalize playing 4-6 hours per day as an “average” player though is insane.

Is it? I feel like I fall somewhere within that also, and consider myself to be pretty casual. Idk if casual is the same as average, but there certainly seem to be many people playing much, much more than I do.

[Argorwal-ysera (Argorwal)]

I’m sure many people do.

But take a step back and look at it in relation to other hobbies or activities in your life.

How would your day look if you replaced 4-6 hours per day of WoW with:

Other video games
Bowling
Gardening
Gym
Sewing
Reading
Golf
Shopping

Etc.

Oh certainly, but what does that have to do with anything?

“My idea of what you should be doing is different from what your idea of what you should be doing is.”

OK.

[Skifell-myzrael]

It’s how they justify the change, by telling us we play too much.

Nope, not at all. Play as much as you want.

Just trying to view 4-6 hours per day as “average” based on your sampling bias anecdotal evidence is crazy.

Just posting on the forums already puts you (all of us) outside of the average WoW player.

A lot of working adults get 5-6 hours of time at home at all after work. Spending every second on WoW would make them average?

And tons have other hobbies, kids, families, etc that cut it WAY down. And aren’t even on multiple days per week at all.
