Blizzard, for the love of God stop this fiesta…on release on NA you were able to collect Sparks by killing players in raid…today on EU only groups work.
This supports completely degenerate gameplay when whole bunch of grps are just spawn/corpse camping ppl in Cobalt Assembly and also, quest takes ages to finish in a grp…PLEASE do smthing about it…increase drop raid, make it doable in raid again…ANYTHING, this is unbearable…i am wasting whole evening getting spam killed by 75 players in one spot on graveyard…
Who thought this quest design will be a good idea? Especially as a mandatory pvp weekly quest because of reward…

This quest is just completely unfun lol. This doesn’t encourage world pvp. Just unfun playstyles and gy farm trading basically lmao. I am almost done with this char, I am not doing it on any alts though.

I don’t get how you guys are having trouble with the Sparks of Life quest… I finished this solo yesterday in the same area at cobalt assembly during the world quest.
Wasn’t in a group, came in there while everyone was fighting against each other, with a few overpowered live lords, picked up the orbs that were already on the ground and mounted up and went to the other area (outside the FFA zone) of the cobalt assembly to get a few more powers away from the chaos. Took me about 3 minutes of killing some mobs and I flew back to the area where the slaughter fest was happening and was able to farm out my 200 Sparks of Life.
There was several Alliance bounties there which gives a good 15-20 Sparks of Life. I got the weekly completed within 25 minutes. 
what if there are no bounties? …and its also p hard to kill ppl with 5 min immunity buff 
…ye i did it rather fast on NA yday too…on EU today, its impossible

Hrm, I have two 70s that have completed the quest and three others around 140/200.
You are trying to do it the hard way. That said, I think the number should be 100 not 200.
You guys realise its a weekly quest right…
200 is not difficult at all in an entire week. And given the reward is enough to get a piece of 421 ilvl pvp gear its definitely fine.
no, it is way too much…reward is for temporary min-maxing for pvpers to get a “step-up” gear between honor and conquest…in few weeks u will be in full conquest and this epic world pvp gear wont matter (of course only if you know how gearing works in ssn 1 of DF)…it is an activity designed to help with gearing in first few weeks, not to take up all your free time…and yes, doing a quest for 7 hour is a freakin lot for ppl that are not teens and have full time jobs…world pvp is not an end game content, at least not for me and not for any other high end pvper and sadly this quest is mandatory to do if u wanna be competitive

If you’re actively PvPing in a bumping phase, it’s not impossible. When I did it, it was day 1 of season start and everyone was at the cobalt WPvP quest. There was plenty of bounties, plenty of players to kill, etc. Stacked up my powers, got 1 per kill, 15-17 per bounty (killed around 3 bounties) and kept killing players solo with the powers.
If there was a player who had powers as well, I’d go to the edge of the cobalt WPvP area on the drop off, mind control them out, they’d lose powers, and I’d kill them.
Not that that does any good on my server. We have so few Horde due to sharding and cross server groups that supply crates you’re facing 40 Ally to 5 Horde. Rare spawns are fit to burst. I’ve gotten lucky and got 1 Rare this week w/ Warmode on.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t bug out and you can’t randomly heal your party and you get BLASTED by some selfie camera thing shooting lava when you try to reenter the arena so you can cast on your party.
I sent a complaint before i was fully aware of this nightmare im discovering today. Since i realized no human eyes would ever see this im putting it here:
I would like to complain about a game design decision that has brought me to a crossroads i didnt see coming. I love world pvp and have been absolutely loving this expansion. But today i decided to go to the cobalt assembly. I of course died and this is where my problem begins. You put me in a graveyard that is actively (and apparently always) being farmed by a large group of horde. So upon rez me and a small group of alliance players are being farmed for kills. So… what am i supposed to do huh? run away in death fleeing increments until im finally out of range of them (if thats even possible im not going to try that cowardice even if you put it in the game intentionally) as someone suggested in general chat?? Or keep rezing and fighting 3 versus 40 over and over??? None is even mentioning the powers stacking up making them invincible so even if a few of us did put up some resistance its futile.
Ive been playing a long time im used to players manipulating the rules to farm honor but for you to design this into the game is too much for me. im never playing this game again my character is still a ghost in that stupidly placed graveyard. Cancel my subscription delete my toons ban me for life i dont care this is horrible i wont play like a coward and im not going to be farmed over and over by your design.
Its a shame too i was enjoying the expansion despite some previous issues and years of mistrust it seemed like things were going in the right direction. Then this, a designed camp with super powers to boot. who thought of this? why was it implemented did nobody see how this could and would be exploited??? im just sick not even mad, just sick. wasted my money on the deluxe package and bought a 6 month sub only to leave my very tough to kill priest dead in a camp spot designed into the game. Unable to fight back the only option is to flee and never go back?? what in the actual flip where you thinking??? im going to lose a hundred thousand gold worth of stuff on the auction house because im so upset right now i dont plan on ever logging back in to your game.
My beloved priest pinned in that graveyard at your behest is too much, makes me ill knowing that is my ultimate fate. I was so close to the 250,000 honor kills too. I did it the natural way no groups or farming just good old fashioned pugs and randoms over 16 years. And this is where it ends. i know you wont change anything because of what one nerd says so thus a goodbye note written to a bot that will dispose of the issue in 2 hours with an automated response, if im lucky. =(

It’s not about the difficulty of it. It just boils down to alli or horde camping a gy, till more of the other come and it switches. Yeah you can get some sparks from wq, rares, treasures. But still going to have to join in on the gy camping lol. I joined a group and knocked it out, no one really enjoyed doing it though. I enjoy pvp, but this wasn’t really pvp per se, just mostly kill trading.
