Blizzard obliterates an orb from WoW Classic: Season of Discovery's 3rd phase for causing problems, leaves a terrifying class of Crusader-enchanted players in its wake

World of Warcraft: Classic's Season of Discovery has been a success so far, outperforming most of Blizzard's metrics—but its experimental nature has also caused no shortage of problems. Most recently, those problems have surrounded an unassuming orb.

The recipe for this is dropped by Scarlet Spellbinders, high-level enemies in the Western Plaguelands, making it very obtainable with a group. Though a key reagent to enchant it, Righteous Orbs, can only be found in Stratholme, a high-level dungeon currently inaccessible in SoD.one creature outside of Stratholme that dropped Righteous Orbs: The Crimson Courier, a level 60 elite with a posse of high-level bodyguards wandering the plaguelands.

The hotfix, however, doesn't remove already-active Crusader enchantments from the game, which means there's currently a terrifying warrior caste of Crusader-wielding players stalking phase 3. This is, as one might imagine, causing a lot of arguments. Either way, at the time of writing, pre-existing Crusader-enchanted weapons remain. Whether Blizzard'll take the hotfix one step further and remove these overpowered stat-sticks is another question entirely—though considering the current backlash, I'm not sure it'd be wise.
