BFA Vale of Eternal Blossoms has many rares that drop mounts, and while most of them have higher drop chance, the respawn timers are TERRIBLE to try your luck. Assault happens only once every 2 weeks and is only up for 3 days. I miss only 2 mounts from there and it’s already terrible to cycle alts, wasting so much time on just… waiting… Imagine how terrible it is for people who miss all the things and want to try and get them…
At least make spawn timers constant so we know we can do something in-between spawns of certain rare.
Please, make this at least more “pleasant”

Does anyone enjoy this form of collecting? I’ve never found the patience to do this kind of rare-spawn camping.
I have all the dungeon and raid mount up to the end of Wrath and a bunch since, both Glory and drops.
But I don’t have Time-lost Proto Drake, nor from Sha nor any similar mounts.
I just find this form of play too tedious. I don’t particularly care that much as they’re just mounts that I won’t use so really only a +1 in my collection.
But perhaps there are players who put on something on Netflix and camp these sites and enjoy it, like fishermen like standing by a river casting into the water for hours for fish they probably won’t even eat…

I enjoy it but it’s always better when it’s current content IMO. You’re already there doing other things.
I hated their attempt to change it from a collection basis to gather mats in ZM but others really liked it.
You can never please everyone.

Long timers are somewhat fine, if they are predictable. The worst part is when you know it’s like 30 - 60 minutes, and once 30 minutes pass from the last kill you know about you can’t go afk, you can’t focus on something else because you have to constantly look at your character else you miss the spawn because people kill it in a second.
Really, all that’s needed to make camping better is a set timer. I don’t even talk about odds. I just wish they make stuff predictable.
And give the rares a 30 second damage reduction or something to give everyone time to get a tag on them.

That should become a norm for any old xpac rares. No matter what they drop. When xpac rotates out just give rares a shield and unify respawn timers.
And they should really end this stuff that’s like 2-8 hours and thinking making droprate 2% gonna be fine. I’ve seen so many people with over 100 or even 200 tries on 1 in 50 mounts it’s just sad.

I can imagine things drop dead pretty fast these days. I still have some toys and pets to do but not felt the desire yet.
Just now, like 7 people camped Ahn-de the Loyal in Vale and only 4 (me barely) managed to tag it. Now they have to wait over 30 minutes even tho they already waited. It’s terrible
Do you guys group up at least?
Usually, yes. But I can’t say if people from other faction did too.
But grouping up is not a solution to the problem of random time intervals
I just meant for tag sharing tbh.
Stuff like Soundless from Naz’jatar is especially trash. Either give them much higher/100% mount droprate chances, or make them respawn much faster since they’re daily lockout anyway. It shouldn’t be the case where old mount rares become much more difficult to farm several years into the future solely because there are no longer constant groups being listed for them so you can shard hop.

Unless a drop is 100% “rares” shouldn’t have a respawn longer than 5-10 minutes tbh. Ridiculous having long respawn times to a daily 1% chance at…
TBH I have nothing against TLPD or Aeonax type of stuff. That’s a good thing. Or like they did with Fabius in Nazjatar. If you wait, you are 100% sure you get it once it shows up.
I dont even mind the old raid drops. You can run them 50 times a week with alts if you feel like it. But forcing me to camp a spot on a random timer for a ridiculously low chance to drop something is a joke
