Why is it fair for those who got it going through the LFG system vs the original way where you had to wait for the event to spawn in Goldshire (or other locations)?
In other words. Things change. Get over it.
I really hate the RNG on this, it makes candy jar RNG look really good and far more worthwhile.
That being said, I’ve complained a few times on the forums and today I logged in with a tank after reset, said ‘to heck with the curses’ as it seemed to make the drops worse at least from my point of view and got a ring and the mount.
My jaw could have hit the desk. So the mount can drop without curses and frankly, I think the ‘bonus’ difference is negligible.

Have you ever read patch notes.
later.
Thankfully I got mine back in '08 when the droprate was accidently buffed.

Im not sure i understand, the first time i tried the curses i thought i did it wrong because the pug finished so fast
The curses are def not a huge deal
Do we have proof of this? I’ve seen people speculate but no hard numeric proof.

I’ve found it well-nigh impossible to keep the buff on my healers and tanks that have mid to low gear at best, so since even without the curses what used to be a quick pull on the RNG lever that I could help out with on an alt in a needed role have turned into a five-minute challenge mode gauntlet of spiking health bars and running positioning all over the place I’ve just stopped bothering with running the thing with them. Sorry for the longer queues, everyone.
I’ll try the four curses on my melee DPS characters, pretty much on the assumption that it won’t last. It’s nice when it does, though.
But my ranged DPS are pretty much the only ones who ever make it to the end of the fight with the debuff in tact.

Question: Does curses effect the Arfus pet drop rate or is it only for the horse? Does anyone know?
I personally haven’t yet noticed a higher drop rate on anything with the four curses but the Scarlet Keys. The one time I got Arfus it was on my second or third attempt at the dungeon for the day on a melee DPS character who took the curses then failed halfway through.

Bro the 4 curses is easy. Wth are you on about? Done it several times with undergeared characters. The issue is playing with dead weights in your party (who don’t have curses) doing lower dps than me, the tank.

They have poor bindings, click, or play on laptops with arrow keys.
And yes I did all those things until mop/wod.
Lets not forget that tanks also tank them in the grass where the fences are so people can’t dodge bads on the ground.

As a tank, I can’t help my ghost spawn or circle that I have to reach being near the fences (I tend to trend to using platforms initially clockwise). Or people dropping magma crap on the central walkway.
Anyone with a pulse can avoid getting 10 stacks.
no what needs to happen is everyone should get the mount and do NEW types of halloween/christmas events each year. why the hell we got the same 20 yr old event with the same rewards w/ low drop rates that u p much need to alt army for.
its so bad man

I think the point of this thread is that, in this case, things changed for the worse.
Not that I care. I got my HH mount in Cata…

The news article on WoW’s website only says this:
all the time!
you’re assuming that the design goals match your personal goals, so any time you don’t get what you want, it must be because the programmers failed to meet the design goals. you’re not considering that the design goals and your own goals might not coincide.
