World Buffs do not belong in PVE raids imo. Even the name “World” buff doesn’t make sense but that’s just my opinion. I know classic parsers love to have a higher parse due to the lack of players that want to go gather all the WBs. I think if they removed WB’s parses would mean more and balancing would be easier

Him watching streams isn’t griefing. That’s the issue at hand. These people spend, frankly concerning amounts of time, making the game harder for other people to play for no real reason other than the luls. Bunch of sociopaths.

I don’t know why WCL doesn’t have separate parses for world buffs/ no world buffs. Personally believe they know the non world buff parses would be more popular, killing that part of classic in a sense.
Everyone loves HAVING world buffs, sure but a majority of people are neutral or hate (mostly hate) the way they have to be gathered and maintained. Entire guilds i played with in classic 2019 despised it and many of these people were classic diehards. Bunch no lifed SoM and were happy to not have to bother

You could just not play on a pvp server lol

You could just not one shot that level 20 you ran by. But I guess neither of us can help ourselves.
Absolutely, but that still doesn’t take away from a weird 4 hour cooldown that serves no purpose other than to bring pleasure and encourage griefing
Because it’s a free and significant buff, unlike other world buffs that have to at least be earned and paid for with boss drops, if this didn’t have a significant cool down it there would be zero downside to losing it
Horde? In Mulgore?

Wait until SF and DMT are out. These forums are gonna be infested with WB complaints and parses for Melee 
Don’t bother getting it then. Getting DMF isn’t necessary to clear Gnomer.

We don’t bother with DMF when…it’s not available or in Alliance territory on a PvP server.
it’s just nice to have, it’s not necessary, and not worth the hassle.

Blame Blizzard.
Blizzard killed any motivation in players to play their alts (the main gameplay mechanic of Season of Discovery) for an entire WEEK by announcing the XP boost too early.
SM became completely abandoned. Leveling zones became flooded with level 40 griefers. While watching TV and doing other chores, stealthed at DMF on an alt, I saw some of the same Horde players literally ganking for three hours straight - possibly longer but I eventually logged onto my main to go do content.
All because Blizzard created a scenario where players felt like it was pointless for them to play the game this week. Now, in the grand scheme of things it is only a week, but man I imagine that’s something of a blow to the game to see a drop in engagement when SoD phase 2 was already suffering from the GDKP ban. Will the 100% XP boost do enough to bring players back? Or will players feel like they’ve drifted away from the game after only raid-logging or maybe doing blood moon for an entire week?
Not sure. Ill-conceived decision-making regardless.
It would just be a mess. Guilds take world buffs to clear the raid faster. The idea of having to deliberately gimp your raid in order to post your logs is nuts. It was already bad enough having to chastise people to not use Greenchs which invalidate your parses, the idea that you have to go around and check world buffs and have people aura cancel massive DPS gains, a big part of the Classic experience, because you personally feel bad after getting ganked on a PvP server is kind of insane.
Just play on a PvE server my dude. If you really, truly, honestly cannot handle that PvP happens on a PvP server, just don’t be on a PvP server. The power is in your hands in this regard.
Side-note: SoM was massively unpopular and didn’t allow World Buffs. The people have already spoken. People like World Buffs for the most part. You are an extreme minority.
You wish this was a horde exclusive.
Alliance don’t need full raid groups, because they have the Guard’s right outside DMF for their ranged to shoot from. (More of that not-alliance favoritism.)
