This should not have a timer on every mob.
I need not say more.
Either that or a shorter one. There was like 4 to 5 other players waiting around each ram…may the quickest clicker win!! Add on to that some players were just right out killing them, not sure if on purpose or accidently!
Could also add more rams to decorate as another option! Oh and maybe make them un killable!!
They probably are killing them just to grief players trying to complete this hack job of quest design.
Or maybe either not clicking the item, but rather the mob and auto attacking, or killing it thinking the item drops from it. Far more inclined to believe some folks are ignorant, rather than malicious. Unless you are on an open PvP situation… then griefing cause PvP
I see you take the view of “Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity”.
I however see most people as both stupid AND malicious.
Heck no… i do not pvp. although i have in the long ago past for some achievements to which i cant even remember… boy im getting old lol
I try to think better of others, but am not shocked when I am proved wrong by their inevitable actions.
I swear the devs packed passive aggressive non-flagged PVP into every WQ this expac.
The special assignment in Azj-kahet today faction flagged the quest mobs when I did it, if your opposite faction hits them first they go grey to you, too.
I started it, wasn’t able to do anything with the rams, one spawned by me, and I was able to get it.
Conclusion, you can’t flower a ram that another player has done.
I started to kill them to force spawn more.
Seeing this thread, I now know my conclusion was wrong.
