I started a thread a few months ago about how I believe the Thistleleaf Adventurer drop is broken (0.0002% drop rate on Thistleleaf Adventurer: working as intended - #6 by Tashme-medivh).
At the time, I had over 900 attempts and still no pet, which equates to less than a 0.0002% drop rate.
Today I finally passed the 1000 mark for attempts. Still no pet.
You’re not going to convince me that’s “working as intended.” That drop has to be broken.
The only consolation I have is that someone listed one for just 35k a couple weeks ago, and I simply bought the stupid thing. It typically sells in the 60-90k range.
This from someone with over 1000 mounts, over 1800 pets, creeping up on 50k Achv points, all but 6 of the Toys in the entire game, over 90% of all the plate xmog for my main (more than my fair share for the other three) … it’s not like I’m afraid of “putting in the work.” It’s not like farming the Val’sharah emissary more than ONE THOUSAND TIMES is expecting some sort of hand-out.
This is absurd. And as much as I hate to admit defeat, there’s no point devoting as much time as it takes to push 40 alts through the emissary when I could send those alts through ONE.SINGLE wq and make enough gold to just buy it.
This doesn’t need to be like this. This isn’t fun. But at least I don’t have to do it anymore. >(
