World Bosses have long been the but of many jokes in WoW. But recently, things have gotten really out of hand. With the influx of other much better loot sources like Delves, their very existence is questionable, as pointed out by NinnyBoggy.
A Feature Lacking Meaning
All that’s left for World Bosses is frustration over how their loot feels completely out of balance in comparison to other content. At this point, there is no real reason to do them unless you are desperate to clear map icons. And maybe unlock that special assignment if there really are 0 other World Quests you can do.
This is pretty triggering for players, as many noted that the even old content World Quests offers better rewards than the bosses! The gold reward, in particular, feels like a slap in the face. Even picking herbs for the equivalent amount of time is more profitable than a World Boss kill! With their current rarity and the once-a-week kill window, World Bosses should guarantee a champ piece (at a minimum). Especially considering their already meme-worthy drop rates from previous expansions. Alternatively, they could drop significantly more gold, since random old expansion World Quests outpace them, and by a lot.
What would you think about adding more cosmetic items or fun utility gear to World Boss loot, like mounts, pets, or special effects? Something to give them a slightly more epic feel. Or, you know, to make them worth while on any level whatsoever! WoW is already veering into the single-player side of things, why not save one of the places players run into each other, even for a little while?
