WoW Forever Has Hidden Bad Luck Protection for Quest Drops

Your friend is at 8/10. You're at 1/10. WoW Forever quietly added bad luck protection for quest drops when you're grouped, and it's part of a much bigger plan: keep the fight over mobs, make grouping worth it, and help the people you meet stick around. We go through what Aggrend (Josh Greenfield) actually said, why shared tagging is staying off the table, how camping and Recent Allies fit in, and what players on the forums and Reddit think. ⏱ Chapters 00:00 8/10 vs 1/10: do you invite them? 00:15 One bigger plan 00:28 Bad luck protection for grouped players 00:49 Why the gap happened in Classic 01:14 Shared tagging: "hold the line" 01:59 Two different systems 02:35 BlizzCon: protect social experiences 03:03 Camping needs company 03:41 "Convenience is the death of the journey" 03:52 What players think 04:39 Recent Allies: the answer to "nobody spoke" 05:35 Two questions for you Have you noticed this while questing in the beta? And would you keep quest drops the way they are now, with bad luck protection, or should everyone in the group just get the item?
