on my shard/whatever, even wm off is horrid. the zaralek rare changes essentially killed getting any sort of reliable group unless you hit them right when the world quests cycle.

Well as soon as the Craven opened up everyone zoomed from Forbidden Reach too the Cravensā¦now with D4 Event going on not many are down in the Cravens either ā¦they are top side chasing mountā¦pet and 36 slot ā¦and mog drops right now and will for at least another few days.

They arenāt fun fights to solo so I havenāt been touching them since the population in the caverns dropped below critical mass.
(I am down there a lot doing gathering and weekly rep)
(and just to be clear: my todo list is not running low; it just feels like a waste to see them all sitting there untouched)

There are simple rock-climbing and dragonriding world quests that give 500-800 gold and I bet most people donāt even do those.

Iām a geared player who also enjoys world content. The rares in Caverns & Forbidden Reach have way too much health. It needs to be dropped by 90%.
Itās not that they need better rewards (they really donāt) and itās not that theyāre difficult (theyāre not), theyāre just tedious because theyāre enormous HP sponges.

Thereās only few rares that matter due to a cosmetic but thereās a big low drop like Karokta and this change on their lock out just make the grind worseā¦

Yeah, that was dumb. But people were complaining about the zone being dead and nobody doing rares well before that change.
Nah. Just pointing out that these changes address complaints weāve seen here since ZM at least.
True, but it seems theyāre not intended to be solo content. At least they can be done without actually joining a group.

Nonsense, plenty of people I raid CE with also do lots of world content because theyāre also collectors.
In fact, we do more world content than most of the āI want more world contentā complainers. (Something I often point out.)

Yes, Iām kidding, but you also generally arenāt complaining about the same things that the solo only would content folks are.
(I agree with you on these rates having too much health too)

I donāt know there were already groups of people killing rares when I was and I never joined a group. After the change however hardly anyone around. Probably the mount rare is the only one you can find people at now.

I am not geared r now. Iāve been geared tho in the past. World content has always been my jam!
Zone was pretty sparsely populated a few days after the patch dropped.
Itās boringā¦

Easier to get flightstones from m+. Nothing really worth getting off them.
Reflects the sad state of the underpopulating game.

Sad thing is, I find it easier to get flightstones from world quests.
The nerf to Flightstones in M+ was so stupid. Getting 40 Flightstones for a +15 is so bad.
It used to be 100 and that felt good.
Whereas you can get 40 Flightstones from like 2 World QUests which takes a fraction of the time as one M+.

Nobody did rares with WM on prior to the changes.
Itās boring to you guys.
I enjoyed it.
And I have gotten two tier 4 Research Under Fires.
Iāve had a lot of pvp in there and done some WQs with random cool xudes!
OK THIS ^^^ this is why blizz did it. I get what you are saying absolutely 100%! 
100 for a +15 sounds great to me and the game shouldnāt gate Flightstones since they are the equivelent of catchup for ppl who already have ilvl. They nerfed it because G-d (may we never write his name in impermanence) forbid that anything rewards better than M+. This is why right here.
They (eVUL blizZ, iām sorta sarcastic hereā¦) want M+ to be the most rewarding gamemode so if they nerf M+ they nerf everything else down the line. ā this is really bad practice ā it shows that the people calling the shots are out of touch ā M+ not a game mode the majority of people like, half the people that play M+ feel forced into it (even though it is ENTIRELY optional if you donāt mind slow progression)ā¦
That is why I keep saying the ThEy (blizz) needs to add like some extra incentive to the rares specifically in WM. It doesnāt have to ākill their M+ gameā.
