You keep doing this. You keep accusing people of wanting everything to be 100% obtainable and handed to them on first kill. Where is your proof that people have been asking for things to be this way? You KEEP saying this and quite honestly I’m tired of it. You’re pulling your “facts” out of no where with nothing to back them up based on your own assumptions that you think everyone wants it handed to them as a 100% drop.
Rarity is okay, but people should NOT be wasting 14 years of their life chasing a rabbit from a limited time event that only pops up for 1-2 weeks a year. 14 years, that’s 5,110 days! You cannot tell me that is a reasonable amount of time (a majority of it waiting for the event to even take place) to wait for something to drop.
This is inexcusable.
It’s discouraging when something doesn’t drop, sure. Especially when tons of other MMO’s have holiday events and do it SO much better. Wow’s holiday system has been unchanged for almost 20 years and the fact that people feel this way after all this time means SOMETHING needs to change to make them feel more excited when an event is on the horizon.
Every Holiday limited time event that has been put in WoW has filled players with dread. Will they be able to get the drop in time, will they get it this year, will they have to wait another year, or a year after that?
A holiday should not invoke these feelings in people, they should not be doom talking. You see the problem with people feeling these things and THATS why it needs to change.
You know whats more pathetic? Not wanting to make the game more enjoyable instead of people experiencing dread when a holiday approaches. Holidays are meant to be enjoyable not stress filled events where you feel the need to complain about it.
Again to tell you specifically for what feels like the 100th time, we are NOT asking for 100% drop rates but we are also asking not to spend years of our time wasting away with nothing to show for it and the disappointment of coming out of a Holiday feeling negative feelings towards the game itself. It’s just like being at Christmas and it’s ruined because someone set your house on fire. It’s an absolute miserable experience for everyone.
This is not end game content. It’s a HOLIDAY. Not a stress filled Mythic +25 or a Mythic End Boss fight.
I have tossed around similar ideas in past threads. The facts of the matter is we are not looking for 100% drop rates and to be just “handed” everything. But we do want our time to be respected, especially for a holiday event.
As I said in previous iterations of holiday threads, I’ve mentioned a % increase but by no means should it ever hit 100% or even 50%. I feel 10-15% would be reasonable to stop at should they increase the drop rate each year. I feel it’s the best outcome as well as relieving some points of stress people will have.
