Regarding the Dread Wastes BoA weapons, I think they should either be up 24/7 or at least on a consistent 10-minute timer, similar to how retail treasures work. I don’t know about you guys, but waiting anywhere from 5 to 13+ hours for a weapon, only to occasionally fly by the spawn spots and never see it up, or find it camped by someone, feels pretty underwhelming. Especially considering we can’t realm hop like we used to back in the day across 50+ realms.
Even during beta, people were camping these spawns for days just to try and test those weapons when trying to go for realm first.
As for the rares, it’s kind of the same situation. I believe they should respawn every 10 minutes. To prevent XP exploitation for those leveling, maybe just apply reduced XP on the second kill, but keep the same drop chance for the rare items. It’s nearly impossible to chase specific loot when you have 5 to 10 people flying over the area, some of them grouped or in the same guild, farming a rare that drops a must-have item.
Would these changes eliminate the current degenerate behavior we’re seeing? Probably not, but they would definitely increase everyone’s chances of at least getting a tag, rather than waiting 40 minutes to an hour for a chance at a tag.
That’s just my two cents. Maybe I’m tripping, or maybe it’s one of those #nochanges moments. But honestly, with how Mists of Pandaria is currently being handled, the #nochanges approach already feels like it’s out the window. I really don’t think these tweaks would negatively affect anyone.

Welll tbh as name implies - rares are implied to be rare, and not available for everyone

I’m just checking some occasionally when passing by, no point sweating over them.
There’s a couple that are right next to dailies / quest mobs and the chances of getting those are slim to none with the amount of foot traffic near them.
I have found some rare items and had a couple decent drops from rare spawns, some are just far to heavily camped to be worth it.
You did this all years ago by the sounds of it in original mop, learn from your mistakes

Nothing wrong with the system that’s in place. If you got everything day 1, you’d have nothing left to farm for.

Well some rares are kinda needed, herbalism gloves are nice for gathering alts, hozen pipe is good till a certain period of time then it’s kind of useless item. Just my stance on it idk, would be nice if they were up a bit more than what they are currently set too.
People got these like day 3-4 because you could realm hop with the addon back in original MoP.

The fishing item from the ghost would be handy as I do a bit of fishing, tried getting the mining pick but not seen that yet, doesn’t sound to great a proc rate from that tbh so no biggie.
Will have to check those gloves out for herbing, not seen those.
I had basically giving up trying to find the tank sword for my alt, blade of the prime, it’s at a daily rep mob which there’s tons of people doing right now, but lo and behold I was passing by last night and it was there while people where fighting the mob I pinched it muhahahaha! I don’t think they noticed it/needed it tbh they didn’t approach it or pay me any attention.
Good luck!
