i just did my entire raid schedule today without any world buffs because we didnt want to wait x hours to coordinate with people from other guilds
turns out we actually did things faster who knew

If it was not for the buff slot limit in vanilla, that would actually be a good idea.
Someone would spaz about a used up buff slot though i imagine?

As someone who dislikes the world buff culture, Iâm happy for anything that discourages it.

ExactlyâŚ
I believe that buffs and debuffs donât share slots so this might not be an issue at all. And the game already uses a similar system for stuff like the deserter debuff from leaving a BG early. Thereâs also code in the game for profession cooldowns so Iâd imagine there are ways to make it happen fairly easily.
I dont think anybody wants a challenge from a video game anymore. âbut muh world buffsâ.
Could be, i am not sure really.
My self, being buff overloaded is really not a thing for me.
There are not many buffs i need really, so having them bumped off isnt a thing i have ever had happen or worried about.
Hopefully the real world will right itself, and we wont have to worry beyond speculation about it
Should just take layering out in org
that would be nifty, but the vanilla game world was not built that way.
It would not be an easy thing to do, not in any quick fashion like what was needed.
I raid because of itâs social aspect and chance of snagging some purple loot.
You parsing zoomers should just go back to retail.

I find it excruciatingly hard to believe that with the scrooge mcduck cash that they currently have rolling in, that they cannot coordinate the staff to work remotely on code and test things.
If any industry has the tech to work from home, as millions are in the US, a friggin software company should be able to.
Unless all of the current windfall is going into Bobby Kâs swiss bank account.
But you donât need world buffs to complete raids though

People enjoy speed clearing, trying to beat their own, and others records. In the same way that people at the arcade want to try to âbeat the highscoreâ people in Classic enjoy doing so while raiding. World buffs is a huge part of that
Why wouldnât you want to receive world buffs on all layers when they are turned in? Why would you want to be on a layer that doesnât receive the world buff, but also youâre unable to turn in a new head and buff your layer as itâs on cooldown?
Even if you are not interested in parsing / speed clearing - why wouldnât you want to receive the buffs if youâre in Orgrimmar / Stormwind?

Parse culture can go to hell for all i care. I have met far too many people who play in a way that causes the rest of the raid to struggle because OMG I MUST PARSE 99 OR I WILL KILL MYSELF or some crazyness of the like. Mages and druids not decursing, hunters not tranqing, priests not dispelling, warriors refusing to do a sunder on the pull, warlocks putting up dots, healers demanding all the innervates, the list goes on. Parse culture is horrible and i honestly want nothing to do with people who aim for 99% parses week to week.
âŚthat said, the current world buff problem has nothing to do with parsers. Regular players who arent parse monkeys still want to receive world buffs. Raiding only occurs for a few hours a week. There is more to the game than raiding, and, you know what? I like doing regular activities with world buffs on. I like heading back to org, nabbing ony and rend buff, and going back to what i was doing somewhere else. I like leveling my alts with these buffs active. I like PLAYING THE GAME with buffs.
And layering has damaged that. The game is worse, and that is bad. A fix is in order.

I agree world buffs need to bed added to all layers if dropped on one.

No one is saying they would not want to get them, if they happened to be there.
But in the grand scheme of things, people being able to play that could not is of magnitudes more importance than a world buff that we are over geared and over powered enough in 1.12 to play fine without.
There are enough buffs available right now to choke a horse, that the layering has 0 effect on, go use them and be happy you can rather than waiting forever to log in and missing your raid entirely.
