They're the most chaotic things ever. Lately I don't think I've had a single group working in cohesion.
A number of them would have a group run halfway across the island, pulling every mob they can...mind you this is without a tank, or a healer. Ends about as well as you'd expect.
So at this point I'm still wondering how I should approach them. Kind of want to explore and learn 'em, but I haven't had a group that'd let me do that for the most part.
Just now I was in one where the azerite elementals popped up and the other two had run off, leaving me to solo it all.
Speaking of soloing, I think I would genuinely enjoy them more if I could actually, well, solo them, lol.
i usually join a rare farm normal/heroic team in the lfg or solo que normal and go after the rares and let my team of 110-120's derp around and get rekt. either way its boring and uninspired game design.
Stopped weeks ago. Even the 2500 weekly azerite isn't worthwhile if it takes 25k+ per level.
I don't. It's bad content and I don't want to encourage Blizzard by participating in it.
If I am a tank I'll pull most of the rares on the map at start without stopping.
As a dps I just try to find them and burn them one by one.
Then if my team is struggling or behind I go for the big azerith dudes, I'll try to not do those if necessary since they don't drop anything.
Then events pop up and I do the events rares and try to end when all of them are dead by looting things around.

I do them with friends and we're usually in voice chat so each IE takes like 5 minutes.
Ride around with my friend looking for rares in heroic islands. The random third person usually follows us around. When you're more serious we make a mythic group and get a third person specifically for farming rares.
If you do them, do them on normal you'll finish 2 times faster because normal island end up in a few minutes.
Advice! actually they are great for leveling!

I find that IES are much more bearable if you're hunting for rares and events farming pets, boes and mounts. Hard to do that in a pug though...
I think "Ugh I guess I should do an Island Expedition some time".
I ride down to the table. I click on the table. I look at it, remembering the other 6 times I made this mistake.
I close the table and find something else to do.

I do agree with you guys for the most part. I don't really find them fun for the reasons I mentioned, and the reasons you guys mentioned as well.
I've yet to try the mythic or PvP ones because I can't find a single soul who wants to do them.
I do honestly think Blizzard should improve on the concept. I personally think they should scrap them and rebuild from scratch, but that might be too much to hope for.

I stopped doing IEs the moment I no longer needed rep. Trash content IMO. Nothing but spam-racing through mobs. Nothing about them is exploratory.
I did on it on my first group, I box five, for the weekly reputation, then that's it. Too much stupid in there to stomach it. They all want to solo, mine the tiniest nodes, pull all of the map, or kill a single creature at a time. I pull mobs to the closest rare when I tank then aoe them down if I have help. Seems to be the quickest. I've not researched what to kill to get what to drop.
I'll start farming for mounts, mogs, and pets when I can solo box it. Might be getting there but haven't tried yet. Just like I did the legion invasions because no one wants to work together. /boggle

I go for nornal mode cause its easier to solo mobs.
I looked up a guide that suggests targeting mob types drops loot. Some mob types do not drop loot. So I assume they drop dubloons.
I have gotten many things from target ing mobs. But I noticed the last few weeks nothing really drops I assume some hotfix that is undocumented nerfed droprates cause my alts just see azerite and dubloons.
Azerite elementals dont drop loot, they seem to drop dubloons. And alot of azerite making them unappealing and a waste of time when you could be targeting rarer mobs that appear randomly.
Looting nodes does not give loot so I dont touch them.
Few chests spawn rares gotta open those few like wooden chest.
Spawned caches and chests from rare specific mobs give chance drop on loot. Like mantid caches.
I notice a random event pops around 75-80% azerite collected on normal mode. So yea focusing on killing stuff till rares appear and focusing on them and not other sources seems to grant more loot.
I am not sure if doing certain events grants multipliers on lootchance such as helping npcs.
As far as island expeditions go I enjoy farming loot over getting azerite cause the loot last longer then azerite being relevant. There are some unique transmog sets to farm. And seriously getting those complete sets is harder then getting elite gear -.- . I wish there was more information on what drops loot and what activities increase loot drop chances if any.

I think I've like done 5 with people just doing their own thing, I'm not interested in doing them
I just run them with my boyfriend and another guildmate each week but then again I run more than just for cap; I really want those mounts. We’re just grinding normals for a few hours a couple days a week. We hold out until the special events happen and just nuke down anything and everything. Still haven’t gotten much more than a jellyfish mount (yay?) and two boe staves in well over a hundred islands. The other two have had crazy luck tho
i dont do them
Randoms went from ok to god awful the past couple weeks and every time i check the premade groups its empty or 1 group is looking for pvp

Some good mogs depending on what mobs and rares you farm. So I try to vary the stuff I kill in them.

I did 5 to unlock the research and promptly stopped.
