Blizz essentially made it a lot harder to get the horseman mount and rarer items that drop off him. They made it so in order for the rares to drop, you essentially have to make sure you’re not loosing your debuff for curses by not getting 10 stacks. I’m so over them trying to make the game like esports.

Why is that fair for people who got it without having to do the curses?? Making something require more skill is not fun.PS I have the mount, I’m just letting others know that blizz is screwing them.

it doesn’t require more skill because you still have a chance to get it without doing the curses.
I’m not arguing whether the curse concept is a good or bad one. fwiw I think it’s a bit silly. but the fact remains people who choose not to engage with the curse system still have a chance at the mount.

What about the people who are doing Alts that don’t wanna do the curses versus the people who still need to? Are they per character and not group?
Ive wondered this myself.
If someone else picks all 4 curses do i have to deal with these curses as well? If so, will i be getting the bonus if i didnt actually pick to be cursed
I bet I could google it but i’m far too lazy

They are personal curses.

Those folks who got it without curses had to deal with the much lower drop rate.

There are a number of problems:
- The figher is harder
- People take the curses for higher reward chances so the fight gets more annoying and harder
- People who have the mount but maybe not the other rewards are like “this isn’t worth it”. Crucially, there seems to be a shortage of tanks and healers
- Some people queue as tanks and healers just so they don’t have to wait 30+ minutes. Sucks to be a mage, hunter or rogue I guess. The problem is these people seem to have no idea how to play that spec so the whole thing falls apart.
This is another example of where making something harder just makes it worse. Make the holiday boss a faceroll and take any 5 people regardles of spec. Better queues for everybody.
Also after my experience with Brewfest I’m not convinced Blizzard hasn’t actually made mounts and other rare cosmetics rarer (in a net sense). They make the first kill of the day have a higher chance but I haven’t seen confirmation that they haven’t “compensated” by making subsequent kills less common.

Not to mention they added a Arfus pet to his loot table with ultra low drop % just to trollolol us players.
Blizzard: “AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE RUNNING THIS DUNGEON 50 TIMES A DAY FOR A MOUNT AND A PET ITS SO FUNNY! HHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WE KNOW WE COULD JUST ADD IT TO THE CANDY VENDOR BUT TROLLING OUR PLAYERS IS SOOOO FUNNY!”

you can stare at my awesome headless horseman mount. that i got on my second try. when the event first came out.
Did they actually lower the drop rate for not having the curses? Or is having the curses just a bonus, and the baseline remains unchanged?

Mate the horseman fight is not hard at all just dodge weve been dodging swirls for 19 years now. It really isnt difficult at all. Only my main has gear duelist and all my alts have shadowlands zerethmortis gear. It really isnt challenging mate

It’s a holiday, not a challenge mode.
Holidays are meant to be fun and rewarding, not a RNG annoyance.
The fight isn’t hard, but low droprates on holiday items is not fun.
