Improvements to the pre-patch event

Blizzard - you’ve done a good job of listening and have fixed a lot of the issues with the prepatch event. However, there are still 2 which need fixing asap.

  1. the gear that drops for characters below level 70. the drop chance needs to be MASSIVELY BUFFED, so people don’t have to make new characters just to collect the transmog. Bad luck protection for people farming loot - got the same bloody shoulders twice on either side of a level. useless since I already had the item from another character.

  2. the Green Hills of Stranglethorn event - this absolutely sucks. getting page after page when it’s not the one you need is frustrating as hell, I was just in one which was halfway done and we had about 6 radiant echoes events to go before the boss. we were the final one because THE BLOODY PAGES WE NEEDED WEREN’T DROPPING. Yes, RNG is a thing but not in a limited time thing like that please.

I won’t even look at that one anymore after my first time on it. Had over 50 pages and the zone transitioned to the boss fight.

For your #1 - I gave up on it and just do my boss kills. Might level one more alt, but going 30-70 and getting 2 items really kills the desire to play the event.

It’s one of the least efficient tasks to do, yet it’s one that brings me a huge amount of nostalgia (and tickles collecting obsessions) so I sometimes find myself happily doing it alone.

another thing is when you kill arthas, rag or onyxia then you go to one of the events afterwards it doesn’t register so you have to fly off then back
