Systemic Institutional Discrimination Against Feral Druids

As some of you know, my brothers and sisters are being actively harmed through blizzards classist, discriminatory polices against the farming of Gnomer. I can not continue to tolerate this abuse in silence. We are treated like 2nd class citizens from other players constantly telling us how to play the game, we have to work extra hard just to be equal to others. We should not have to deal with additional systemically harmful CHANGES from blizzard directed at others that HURT our class and spec. I pay $15 like everyone else, my money is green, like many of yours, all we ask is to be able to play the game like we could from 2004-2006.

The instance cap limit is extremely unpopular and undesirable, however, if you refuse to remove this poor change, PLEASE Remove Gnomer from the 30 instance cap per day. I am NOW unable to play the game for 3/7 days a week, all my instances are either to raidlog ZG or farm gnomer.

Feral Silence is Compliance with these harmful policies, I will not be shamed into silence by others telling me how I should play. Feral Druids Matter. You can remove systemic injustice from your game by simply removing gnomer from these artificial instance limits designed to throttle mage bots. I should not be unable to play instances for 3 days on my account with 3 60s because I want to try hard as an underrepresented class and spec so I must farm gnomer. Had this been in the game I would have leveled my druid on a completely separate account but you have forced this change onto us and you can fix this issue VERY simply by removing the restriction from Gnomer. Thank you for reading.

You know the likely outcome if there is too much complaining about farming MCP blizzard will just nerf the MCP so it’s no longer desirable Right ?

Nope. There is just a very vocal number of players and their sock puppet alts giving the illusion of unpopularity

If I played a feral druid, I wouldn’t spend all my time farming for a level 30 weapon. I don’t care that it’s a DPS boost. I’m sure there are plenty of decent feral weapons.

Well, if I played retail, and a weapon gave me 50% haste on demand without affecting the weapon I did, I would that weapon and only that weapon, regardless of what level it was.

Druid since late 2005… If you NEED MCP, get better.

You picked druid knowing you weren’t going to be topping damage. None of us picked druid back then to worry about where we place on the parser.

Now it’s a safe bet, you’re not one of the top players in this game who plays almost completely flawlessly. You’re probably not even top of your server, which those people DO make mistakes and aren’t perfect. You’re a middle of the pack player like the rest of us. Know what that means? Being top damage in raid just means outplaying the other people in your raid.

I hope thats sarcasm. Theres 3 (technically 4, but we don’t get prio on the 4th) druid weapons in Classic. MCP for attack speed, Hammer of Bestial Wrath, which not only has low drop chance, its from 4 of the 7 world dragons which basically means you don’t get it. 2 are from AQ20/40. The 4th is Aetish, which i don’t think has ever been given to a feral. So no, ferals do not have good weapons in classic.

I’m a ranked top 100 worldwide for bears and a top 5 bear on one of the biggest servers in the game, my logs are public & available to view at classic.warcraftlogs, I am Sakuya from Faerlina-US.

I am the minority of players heavily affected by this change, this could be easily resolved in a way that fixes it for me and my fellow druid brothers and sisters without impacting the rest of the game.

Feral Druids Matter. A non-max level retail sockpuppet account telling me how I should play is laughable.

What they really should do is fix itemization for druids in general. Give all weapons wearable by druids Feral Attack Power and allow us to benefit from crusader.

Just ignore this guy Celessi, he’s spouted nonsense on other threads about MCP not being necessary to hold threat over top performing DPS. He clearly has no exposure to how Classic raids work at a high level of play.

I highly doubt blizzard has the audacity to try to get away with something like that.

Yeah they do that, you’re talking about TBC

They did it 100% in WOTLK, in BC there were still specific weapons with FAP while the vast majority still didn’t. Also, we couldn’t benefit from proc based weapon enchants in BC either.

“Hands all ferals a note which says #1 feral Druid. (The other side says this is useless but don’t worry about it).

You have a level 120 that you use for posting. Your opinion here is null.

Just because I don’t play classic doesn’t mean I didn’t play vanilla. “Takes number 1 feral note back”
