The world quest “Depth Charge” does not have a sufficient mob density and spawn timer to reliably complete quest in an efficient manner. Most of the time spent on this quest is spent flying around waiting for a spawn. Not engaging even in the slightest.

Exactly, this is just like the world quest in Korthia where you had to capture creatures and 95% of your time was spent waiting for respawns which seemed to take 5 - 10 mins to respawn. I don’t understand how they continue to make world quests like this and forget this is a MMO. They claim to ‘learn from their mistakes’, but clearly, they don’t.

Lol yeah I just went and checked it out to confirm. It’s literally just a bunch of people standing/flying around with no mobs…

The mobs that exist only give like 5% towards the quest.

This quest seems to be designed with war mode in mind. It gets spicy when both sides want a water elemental.
That doesn’t justify it, but it might explain it. Add more water dudes.
This world quest SUCKS.
The only way to complete it is to stand around and wait for spawns. The OP is right - needs more mobs and better respawn time.

I was living my inner Nascar racing by making repeated left turns whilst flying around waiting for a mob to spawn. Was finally able to complete the world quest but it did take a bit.

Glad to see many other posts about this issue, there are almost no mobs around to kill in order to complete it, please fix
and it doesn’t help that when one does spawn that people are just annihilating them as fast as they can, which means less people get the tag, which further exasperates the problem.
Ultimately, more spawns/spawn frequency increase
Or add some spawns that are elites (that would both die less quickly and provide more completion percentage)

Bumping. This needs a fix.
The other tuskaar water elemental world quest had a similar vibe as well.
Yeah, that quest was unpleasant
People would get it done faster if they would co-operate or even group instead of blowing every CD you have for 1 mob and yelling MINE. But I forgot in this day and age co-operation doesn’t exist in this version of wow in open world content.
Yeah. This quest was pretty miserable. A dozen people all flying in circles hope a mob will spawn and that they’ll see it in the 4 seconds before someone else kills it is NOT fun.

Its not only a poor design but you can kill the mob and then someone can take the credit using their lure first and then the mob you just waited 10 minutes for doesnt even matter! Fix it or remove it!
the atrocious spawn rate makes this one of the worst WQ ever introduced…
Doing this right now and moved on. Just folks circling the place and I barely caught 1 because everyone was tailing it for 5% bar and the respawn is abysmal.
This needs to be buffed all around lol.
I even turned on war mode and still had to wait a while.
I did this today. Took me 20-30 minutes and when I completed it I logged because it just sapped my energy.
