Arfus is massively disrespectful towards your players and their time

You can die in a car crash tomorrow or the next day. Who is to say Earth won’t get nuked next year in WW3?

in neither of those situations would i be remotely concerned about a wow pet i didn’t get

Nothing has changed. People are still trying every day and not getting what they’re after.

Unless blizz actually makes it one attempt per day per account, people will still throw every alt at it daily, no matter how low the chances of getting it are.

I’m all for some RNG excitement, but it’s holiday cosmetics. Just let everyone get it by the 10th run and make a new one every year.

Do something crazy like the holiday boss can appear in any raid/dungeon/BG at the appropriate difficulty with a 25/50/75/100% drop for everyone based on whatever difficulty you’re in.

Since when? Shall we ignore that SL’s happened? It’s Blizzard’s failure to communicate. Blizzard never talks to the players.

SL isn’t the modern expansion, why would you use that as the example? A lot has changed since then.

For starters, a lot of changes that took place in DF, took place specifically because of player feedback to SL. On top of that, Blizzard routinely talks about their plans going forward with their Blues News and monthly posts and CC interactions.

You might have been more right if you made your post at the tail end of BfA or the beginning of SL, but even then I’d still be here disagreeing with you and pointing out how they, even at that point, were stepping up their game.

Blizzard never talks to the players.

This is patently false.

[Pyri-shadowsong]

okay but sometimes they say things i don’t like, which is the same as not talking to me at all

The time rift gift mounts

Hey, glad to see that you enjoyed these! That was us trying something new, and it seems from you (and others we’ve heard from) that gift mounts were a success. We’re definitely considering doing things like this again in the future. It’s always good to hear from players when things are working as much as it is when they’re not, so I appreciate you saying so. Chimes

Hi Chimes, Can we see this approach for Holidays? It should be a time to celebrate, even adding the option to share our duplicate with fellow players feels better that deleting the items, also the solution by adding a 1 boost attempt didn’t fix the core issue that’s doing every possible attempt persuing a really low drop item.

[Stonehenge-sisters-of-elune]

I don’t know about you all but I couldn’t stand doing the event more than once a day. As a result I didn’t get anything except masks and wands. Not even a squashling this year.

Instead I went back to wod for this nifty mythic armor. I didn’t even need to deploy my fifth druid, got the set in a single afternoon.

I would like to point out that alot of the changes we saw in DF were because of overwhelming hatred towards systems such as borrowed power.
Also, the Community Council has shown time and time again to be pretty useless. There’s quite a few folk on the CC who don’t have any inkling of what they’re talking about and instead just ask for what they think is good to be in the game which to me defeats the whole point of calling it a Community Council.

Blizzard still doesn’t actively communicate with the players except very randomly and even then. Granted, they do make announcements and share what their plans are but they’re not engaging with the community like they used to do.

Not to tout FFXIV or anything but Square-Enix and Yoshi-P in particular are very good examples of a group & dev respectively who will actively communicate with the playerbase about changes while also engaging with the community on a regular basis.
Aside from the WoW community’s attitude, there’s no reason for Blizzard not to follow FFXIV’s example. Though, with how the WoW community is generally speaking, I don’t really blame Blizzard for not talking.

Today’s runs is.

1. (Hardmode Success) 6 Candy,Broom, Mask
2. (Normal) 6 Candy, Mask
3. (Normal) 6 Candy, Mask.
4. (Hardmode) 4 Candy, Broom, Mask
5. (Failed Hardmode) 4 Candy, Mask
6. (Hardmode success) 4 Candy, Mask
7. (Normal Mode wiped tank and healer bailed during fight), 4 Candy, Mask.
8. (Normal.) 5 Candy, Mask.

Well I guess it wraps it up for this year unless I get up early in the morning to slog through another 8. Which is now 77 or so attempts 85 if I squeeze another 8 in the morning. No Arfus as of yet.

This is probably a good idea.

[Xingling-nagrand]

I got Arfus on first attempt without knowing what Arfus is. I just do it for the broom so that I can instant mount.

[Boomkinius-kelthuzad]

@Grandmamama-emerald-dream

I’ll just say…pet battling and pet collecting is the MAIN reason I play WoW.

What on Earth? So you’re the one? Could you please knock it off? I’m so sick of the questing zones being pollutted with pet-battling “quests”.

You can’t it ends at 11 am Tomorrow and will have not reset either…

• Dilated Time Capsule (Time Rifts weekly currency) has been discontinued and can be sold to vendors for gold. The new weekly currency is Dilated Time Pod.
• Dreamsurge Chrysalis (Dreamsurge weekly currency) has been discontinued and can be sold to vendors for gold. The new weekly currency is Dreamsurge Cocoon.

This is such a random move.

All it does is punish players who saved up on level 60-69 alts for when they hit 70??? Lmao.

[Spenceroyal-dragonblight]

200 runs now this year, no Arfus drop at all, having Bad Luck Protection would be a huge help for sure

[Vodkanokers-bladefist]

@Maizou-proudmoore

But to add ANOTHER item to the RNG loot is just disrespectful. To add a second one is just evil. Stop treating your players like their time doesn’t matter

This is what happens when you grow up in a participation trophy world.

Sad.

[Näamah-ragnaros]

@Vodkanokers-bladefist

a participation trophy world.

Imagine comparing a competition and RNG in a game…

Sad.

[Zarkanar-emerald-dream]

I have to have every pet and I have to them now. If I don’t get this pet my world will literally end.

[Dollfacé-stormrage]

Imagine thinking you should get a participation trophy for either lol

Grinding like a slave. Felt satisfying.

You didn’t earn anything by mindlessly grinding. You brute forced an activity and got lucky. End of story. Nothing was “earned”. AOTC mounts, Gladiator mounts, Vicious Saddle PvP mounts are mount you earn. Hell, id even put reputation mounts in the earned category. You put in work, you get the reward that is available at the end. Running the Lich King weekly on 30 alt’s that one shot’s the boss 14 years after it was relevant content is not earning anything. A .01% drop you get after months of “mindless grinding” is luck. You got lucky, regardless how “satisfying” you think it is.
