Absolutely no one is doing rares anymore lol :sadface:

And the groups that are up are all WM OFF and doing the same ones over and over forever and ever in zones with like zero rares up with like 3 ppl in it its super v sad.

I solo them on my tank. Gave up on finding groups. Not many doing them, no.

I did that and became a very sad panda for three kills.

I mean. The upside is I’m not killing rares for 6 hours today.

Yeah. Tank buddies are the best.

I actually found a few people to do two of them once I turned off WM.

I guess this change isn’t the end of the world… we should get like bloody tokens or something cool for killing them in WM on though.

Maybe blizz is trying to discourage WM raid forces running around zones lol?

Mindlessly zerging rares doesn’t sound like fun to me anymore. I only did it in zm to get flying in that zone.

Would be nice if we got a WM zone with like cool WM objectives.

I farmed my mog in WM in Darkshore! That was pretty solid for a few months.

The rares have too much health, plain and simple. Goes for the new zone and Forbidden Reach.

Slash their health by 90%, continue to have it scale up with tags. It’s an easy fix.

Maybe they could put in a cosmetic set that only drops from WM On rares? Idk. Would be interesting to see alliance and horde or two factions we could temporarily side with in WM duking it out for shiny pixels we can wear with pride.

Killing rares non stop just isnt fun. The zone isnt fun.
Add on the fact no one goes there so you have to wait for ages before rares are even killable…
The lack of people killing them snowballs.
Ive stopped going there outside of my weekly quests.

And im saying this as a world content player.

For those who do dungeons and raids, they dont even have a reason to kill them. So theyre not gonna keep showing up.

The whole zone is a disaster.

I was attacking one of those rare on my tank and they had like 12-13 million health. After 2 minutes of just standing there by myself zzz I alt-f4. I got better things to do with my time honestly.

The whole zone seems to be dead on my server, my guildies got a little taste of it and stopped logging on too, it absolutely baffles me why they’d make a zone like this and tune the mobs (and reward structures) so poorly that they actively turn everyone off even bothering with it :woman_shrugging:

A lot of the stuff that Blizz does, i can look at it and understand their motives (even if they won’t admit to them) for doing the things they do, but this one really has me stumped, could they really be that out of touch or dislike the average player that much that they’d actively tank the success of a patch out of spite? lol

It seems bonkers to me and it makes no sense from a business perspective… but here we are.

Solo players were salty that geared group content players were killing rares too fast.

Geared group content players were salty about needing to farm rares.

Sounds like everyone won.

The rares have 10 times more health than they should because Blizzard caved in to the “the rare was dead by the time I got there because I waited 10 minutes to finish my shopping in town before I headed over” whiners.

With rares now showing up on the map a minute before they spawn (and giving a zone-wide yell), there’s no reason for anybody to not be there in time for the tag.

I mean the one positive thing about all this is we now have plenty of time to scuttle across the zone and jump in on an actively engaged rare. And the ones with minor mechanics can be kinda epic battles.

Im running around in 415 and haven’t touched M+ yet. So while the gear isn’t relevant the challenge is there and they aren’t totally trivial. They can hurt a bit if they are being tanked still or kited around by several players for sure. The rep is nice and it’s just fun to do easy content that isn’t necessary for groups while still being fun or better in groups.

I’m not asking for anything higher than 411 gear from them either.

This is great if you just happen to be hanging out doing a WQ or bartering with the Niffen or otw too ir from the world boss out of WM. If in WM we can forget it. That said at least I run into pvp around the WQs.
