    The mages of warcraft never were the brightest bunch.

    It's a shame that Shadowlands killed PvE twinking. Still I enjoy the game.

    No, wands are 1h staves. Staff is a big stick, wand is a small stick.

    you cannot downscale something and still say it is the same item.
    a tiny twig is not a melee weapon, it will break on a single hit.
    while a staff is a strong weapon.

    its like saying "a 2 by four is building material, that means a piece of paper is a building material too!"

    Everyone uses auto-attack, you can't really not use it. It is filler between your abilities.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    Right, so you're just being selective with where "it's magic" is a valid explanation and where it isn't. A twig shooting magic bolts is fine, but a twig being used to stab somebody in the eye isn't. Not that all wands are twigs, pretty sure there's a ton that are metal/crystal as well.

    It's annoying for casters who aren't used to having a ranged auto attack anymore so they pull stuff by accident. Also funny though. It feels like too minor of a problem for Blizz to address at the moment.

    Yea idk about you but I haven't gotten in melee range with a staff intentionally so I can auto attack for 1 damage

    They have made so many small changes nobody has asked for,needed,or wanted. I'm sure it wouldnt take very long to just give it mace auto attacks. And make them transmoggable

    And a wand is a stick enhanced with magic... it makes no difference. Nothing in warcraft has any rules of physics it has to follow , it's a game, all the devs have to do is give it mace auto attack animations and make it tmoggable.

    a twig doesn't really do alot to an eye actually, very specific situations really, but again, there is a big difference between a staff and a wand.

    Yeah, one is big and the other is small. Staves can be used to smack people with, and wands apparently have no use at all, because magic isn't real. Because if magic was real, you could absolutely use a wand to stab people with, because it could be enchanted with magic.

    I wasn't talking caster, I was talking auto-attack. Though, if I should add in from a caster view, then no thanks still. As a roleplayer, we use wand-autocast.

    Well there you go, you're a role player, your opinion means nothing.

    So you didn't read what he wrote, because he was specifically talking about wand/caster autoattacks. And it's not like they'd have to remove the ranged thing, it could just be a separate button, and the default wand autoattack would be melee. It's just like Shadowform being an ability, it has no use outside of roleplay, and for roleplay you could just have a glyph instead without impacting people actually playing the game.

    Wands purposes were meant for players to use if they were out of mana and or whatever resource they may have used in which most cases it was mages priests and warlocks
