Since devs continue to nerf hunters who are not even the highest dps anymore. Just remove world buffs and stop
Making decisions based on fully buffed characters.

I agree, nerf hunters more, their tears sustain me.
No one liked the world buff meta…and what do the devs do…make more world buffs for the new world buff meta.

Microsoft, please fire these people. They are actually stunted in their ability to do their job. Stop babysitting the worst developers in the industry and hire some actual talent.

I dunno, people who love the world buff meta claim that SoM sucked because world buffs didn’t work in raids. So at least some people liked the world buff meta. Not sure if they outnumber the people who don’t like it or not tho.
Personally, I don’t care to get every possible buff before BFD… its too brain dead easy for that. But since Boon is constantly dropping all day every day, I don’t mind picking that up before raid for the sake of a faster clear for my group at least.
Classic Andy’s will defend world buffs for some reason, despite every other expansion onward not having them and the raiding is just way more enjoyable
We’ve had literal years of the same boring world buffs, let’s just get rid of them and keep the phase/seasonal ones like the BFD one as a compromise

I do think they should remove world buffs and consumables outside of food/water from battlegrounds. That way premades would at least have less of an advantage over randoms.
Those people are either trolling or saying they like it out of spite.
It was a thing in vanilla because people werent farming content on ez mode with million WAs playing the game for them. Now it not only trivializes the content even further, it also adds in more unneeded frustration to acquire them all while making comparisons of skill via parses arbitrary as there is no level playing field. They really add nothing enjoyable to the game that couldn’t just be added via class tweaks.
They said in the dev interview that they thought removing buffs was a mistake and that wbuffs are just a fun unique thing to vanilla.
But regardless we already had a season without them, this season has them in. Maybe next season they’ll remove them
They say a lot of things that are never true in the dev interview, because they’re liars. I don’t even know how people can still believe them when they’re so routinely dishonest.

I swear they blame SoMs popularity downfall based on world buffs when in reality it was due to the terrible timing they released the game mode. Muh world buffs is just an excuse.
My classic sweat lord loving buddy who played SoM from day 1 until the end was happy that world buffs didn’t matter there anymore

Baseless assertion.
We don’t make this game, they do.
You don’t have to go get world buffs but again they already had a season without them. So they’re flipping it this season, perhaps next season they’ll remove again. Wether people like them or not they are in fact popular.
You are right, ActiBlizz would never lie or gaslight the community for ulterior motives that usually revolve around financial gain knowing full well that if they do the bare-minimum they can say, “we’re sorry” without actually fixing the problem because a small vocal subset of the community will take their word no matter what.

Or they just like the power they give when all stacked up. I hated collecting them, but I loved the output they provided.
…that’s not how WA work…
What a huge block of cope.
All this is is a bunch of emotional garbage.
Don’t play sod if world buffs ruin your fun that much. Complaining about it just looks as pathetic as the people still coping over premades
Sounds like you would have preferred a class tweak over collecting a world buff, yes?
Many of them do though. They tell you when abilities are cast, where to move, what to do etc. There are even WAs that are paired with programs like AutoHotKey that will literally play the game for you to maximize DPS or even PvP.

The irony as you defend and blindly trust a multi-billion dollar company that’s been sued numerous times for predatory practices among other less than stellar behaviors among their employees and leadership.

No class tweak could match what all of the wbuffs together could provide, and the fun came from the fact that normally I hit for X damage but when I’m all buffed up in raid I hit for X+1000 damage. If you just tweaked the classes, that would go away.
Like I said, I didn’t enjoy getting them, I enjoyed the experience they provided.
Tracking casts is Vanilla-functionality
Raid notes is Vanilla-functionality
Boss mods are Vanilla-functionality
I mean… it isn’t really playing the game for you to give you information. The game is telling you what to do when Aku’mai turns and faces you and starts casting a breath move, you still have to pay attention and move.
That’s a problem with AutoHotKey, a program that can alone get you banned.
World buffs are very cheesy. It’s too bad the thread is just another hunter complaining thread tho. They truly believe they deserve to be massively OP.
They are not, rogues and warriors are already at the top. And they scale in future phases… hunters do not.
If you guys don’t like world buffs go play wrath. Where were you when SoM came out?
