Discord are really great people and will help out alot .
They form groups and wait till everyone there.
Ofc there are a few players who ninja kills but that % is small .
As for my mutli accounts i fund them via the gold i made in legion and wod.
Im sorry im angry but the OP insutating things has got my back up .

i think a lot of our fustration is because we try to do something for so long, and the rng is just not on our side and we can rub each other up so hard when we actually are all on the same side. its people that say “yeah we all want everything for free” that winds things up even more. you have an ingenious way that works for you, and as you have the gold it is viable. but blizz should never had put us in that place in the first place. i thought i was doing bad with 160 ashes kills and no mount. i prob would just lose all heart if i hit 1000.

and btw im not saying you are saying we want everything for free. the dark iron dwarf replying is an example of that.

Stop being entitled. Please. This is an mmo and these things have always existed because they are part of an mmo. Removing this aspect of being lucky when it comes to finding a spawn defeats the purpose of rarity.

I don’t care if you’re ‘offended’ because I called you entitled because you are and it’s a disease that’s spread amongst the playerbase. People want everything as fast as possible nowadays and preferably with zero effort required. It’s just pathetic really.

wanting everyone to have a good and equal chance of having something is entitled? again, who is asking for things with zero effort? we are talking about wanting increased drop chances on items that we have farmed dozens, hundreds, even a thousand times with no drop.

again, the “oh everyone wants to log on and get everything free” brigade in these discussions. it gets tiring and sounds like you’re just brownnosing.

So, from what I’ve gathered, OP wants the spawn times on the Tanaan rares reduced?

I only have one of the mounts from them, and they’re certainly annoying. All four are random, and even if you do happen to see one spawn, you only have a very slim chance of being able to get a hit in.

This wasn’t as big an issue back in WoD, as they took a lot longer to kill than the one-shot people can do now. I believe Blizzard should do something about it, either by reducing the spawn timer or, maybe a more sensible solution, giving the rares an immunity buff similar to the Pandaria World Bosses. They could maybe put the rares on a rotation too.

Any that drop Mounts was my impression… even Posiedus (sp), TLPD, etc

68

Yes. That’s entitlement. Everyone HAS an equal chance. Keep rares rares.

Funny thing is, I’m not, if you actually read anything I posted (Which looks like you didn’t), you’ll see all I asked for is a respawn timer reduction, not asking for the mounts n drops to be handed to me. Which means it’s for everyone, not just me, so again, I’m not. Waiting around for hours for a respawn doesn’t require effort, it just requires patience and a lot of time on your hands, which a lot of people don’t have.

In respect of some sources, like TLPD, I believe the respawn time has already been markedly butchered from when it was launched…

No, no and no.

They have already destroyed current rares to the point where they have no real meaning anymore, they’re not exactly rare and they drop useless items.

You want them to go back and destroy the ACTUAL rares in the game because you can’t be … bothered to wait a few hours?

I camped Aeonaxx for 6 days straight years and years ago, hours upon hours per day. It only made me more determined to camp it rather than head to the forum and just cry about waiting 2 hours…

Doesn’t matter whether content is old or new. Rare SHOULD mean rare, not just a fancy name for 35 AP… which is nonsense.

You are correct i think 7.2 or 7.3 was when the changes to all rares and there spawn times reduced was brought in.

73

The switch to MoP WB spawning thrice an hour, each is certainly a… ‘nerf’…?

They’re usually dead before their spawn yell finishes…!

Yep they got reduced by alot compared to when current .
Also Sha has fixed spawn and a aura around for a few seconds to stop insta kills.
They said at the time with such drastic changes there wouldnt be anymore for a while.

  1. short respawn, low drop rate
  2. long respawn, high drop rate
  3. long respawn, low drop rate
  1. i think this is the best stlyle. “get over the kill fast, i have other things to do”. the droprate is minimal, you don’t really have a chance to get the mount in one kill but dedication is still needed. it’s for when you need a lot of mounts
  2. this is for real hunters who camp the site for the big game to get the mount for sure. in my gamestlye it’s just wasted time but some likes this as other kind of dedication - you probably will need a good addon and community. not so good if you need a lot of mounts i think
  3. this is just stupid. camp for hours and have a 0.01% chance also? it’s not really dedication but luck … and insanity :slight_smile: is it good for anyone?

Or better yet, give the rares higher health and level like they do for other content for leveling. That way it’s rare and they can’t be ninjaed so easily.

Rare Elites were the first mob’s to use scaling, based on the number of attackers… in WoD, iirc.

78

Oh I’m gonna rage 8 Alliance for resets, I want that toy and last 2 mounts this time! I demand them, plz Bliz 5+ raptors and 2+ bats is too much… Also introduce playable ogre so we can yell “Donkey!” before getting riding away. Also stop giving my rogue all the loot except daggers, it was there every reset (after we won warfront) and it took part in every battle and still using 325 daggers…

79

See? :smiley: let aside I’m totally happy of extra loot and chances of mounts and toys, however this kills the meaning of ‘rare’. I think of rare something you find along the way and you’re like :open_mouth: what the hell is that? /G guys there is silver in front of me…
That’s a rare to me, no something like a raptor at (let’s say because I’m lazy to look) 80.1/56.4 a bear at 80.1/34.2, a troll at 67.2/45.3… etc… that’s not a rare… that’s a mob.

They’re called rare.

If they spawn every few minutes they wouldn’t be rare, now would they?

Rares - Rare Elites, to be precise - are just overtuned, mostly reskinned versions of standard mob.'s with 1-2 special drop items added to their loot table… nothing more.
