My guild’s worst idea that turned out to work was back in Wrath, trying to kill the puppies in ICC. We kept getting overwhelmed by the skeletons. So we decided that one of our tanks would taunt the skeletons and run them out around the outer ring while we killed the puppy.
Somehow… it worked. And as we cheer, we look out the doorway and see our tank run by… and then a massive amount of skeletons slowly following him around that circular area. It was hilarious.
I love them on my miners. Put some points in Outlaw mining. Then get up close and hug them, mine really fast, get out. On Engineer’s they are great when collecting Piles of Scrap.
So you know that nodes of all kinds keep disappearing all the time when you get there, right?
I think they are in fact botting from under the map, you can’t see them so you suspect nothing, but nodes are disappearing like crazy, I have 5 double gathers, SOMETHING is up.
Of course I have no evidence, not a lick, but I know that gamers cannot be trusted, and gold farmers are only supplying the gold to shady players who are buying it outside of the game.
Not looking for argument, just presenting my POV here.
For me the worst part about TWW is mining nodes that despawn when I start mining. This should not be happening at all and I keep getting this over and over.
With region wide auction houses for commodities, they have probably migrated to the lowest population servers to avoid player detection. They can still post their trade goods and sell them on the largest population servers.
Anecdotally, I rarely see other people flying around on gathering mounts or in Druidform hitting up those nodes, when I do see other people at them they’re in singles as opposed to a flock of five. That doesn’t mean they’re not bots, but any speedbump in their processes is good with me since I don’t have the problems that other people seem to be enraged by when dealing with them.
Also that. Really good amounts of scrap for my Engineers.
They seem to be about the same as any other non-rich node.
They are also the only one worth overloading as they, at minimum, mean an extra vein. Crystallized are ok I guess? But I’ve had them teleport me to a vein that despawned immediately (have even had them teleport to a vein that was already gone) or just not activate a portal at all on several occasions.
Lol, I have zero regrets about only using the overload on them now because it amuses me how many people don’t actually pay attention then get blown up and die and then I can just fly away while still laughing.
