Buffing is now automated on retail..

[Mryul]

Because it is considered "unfun" gameplay


cant wait for next expansion, they must have a lot of fun game play up their sleeves Kappa


hopefully i can opt out of that annoying thing between entering an instance and looting my epics soon

they should just make daily log-in rewards to collect epics imo

PUSHING A BUTTON EVERY 30 MINUTES IS 2HARD4SCRUBS

I wish we as a community could move past the whole "pointless tedium = difficulty" thing. The only thing that makes Vanilla difficult is the time investment required, pressing 1 over and over and not standing in fire was never hard; not then, not now, not on retail.

rofl what a joke

Vanilla and TBC were a pair of dirty hands. All Blizzard needed to do was wash with soap and water. Instead, they used sulfuric acid.

Oh look another "look how pathetic retail is, let's see what this biased crowd got to say about THAT" thread.

Different strokes. It's obvious retail is in the whole other end of the spectrum when it comes to time investments and conveniences. If you hadn't figured it out yet, you (probably all of us here) aren't their targeted audience.
Let's all sit in a circle while hating on every streamlined fast paced game ever made while jerking each other off ferociously while we're at it.

This is the prelude to the coming feature where for an additional $9.99 a month, a player can use the Looking For Raid option and after a set amount of elapsed time in the instance, loot will begin to appear in your inventory!

Also if players choose to attempt defeating the Raid Bosses, they may also activate the "Play Game" feature which will perform all necessary actions and class abilities required for completion of the content. This feature is a solution in response to click spam and button mashing requiring excessive energy consumption on the part of the user; it will also fix lag on these abilities which is also not fun.

I have a friend on live who makes 15-20k gold a day by clicking his garrison tables.

I personally think it's a prelude to removing class specific buffs entirely. But they can't really do it straight away, because people already think the classes are homogenized, removing those buffs right off the bat, would be too obvious.

So they'll make it a gradual process.

I love it when idiots act like it's some subjective opinion that WoW retail is garbage when they've lost a record-breaking over 50% of their subscribers in less than 9 months.

lets just let the game play itself...

"playing a game by yourself... oh my god, NO!"

There was a druid in party with me Shau"something".... he didn't buff anyone the moment he showed up.
I knew straight away he is slow and clunky.
I was right cuz he failed to heal up tank which used pot to stay alive and later raged on him.
Druid got kicked from party....

Just a small example of why you shouldn't automate RESPONSIBILITIES.

I bet all reagents are gonna get removed too. So that is gonna be another thing to not worry about.
WoW gameplay nowdays is just running and not turning back while shooting everything in your way.
