Instance Limit

Outside of the, my remaining holiday event farm am not hitting instance cap normally. It would be nice if ChemCo would/could be excluded in the future given the low drop rate and repeat nature of the farm (moreso than any other holiday mount in terms of years). I assume it is to combat bot farming though, have reported in the past there were hotspot dungeons the bots liked. Only other time I would instance cap, would be LFR farm for the monthly activities if I went that route or was farming transmog, quite easy to hit if you don’t plan to not hit the limit with running wings in a certain order/being optimal. If I went LFR Argus am sure I could hit cap shortly. ChemCo it’s the 5-7 hours it takes mostly due to run gating. I can push runs in about half an hour to cap, but then I wouldn’t be able to continue that pace. ChemCo I get hit pretty hard running the 60 daily still this year. I agree the bots will be optimal, same as certain leveling boost metas they will use outdoors time also and have it strategized. The only way around that 10/hr was another account which really isn’t a solution. I feel holiday time is the main time it’s inconvenient to the player doing mount runs for time limited fomo. I wouldn’t want the 10/hr to be completely lifted though I think an average player should be able to farm dungeons/raids comfortably. The holiday queues are separate short encounter dungeons, most of the chemco time is spent waiting on queues to pop (even the tank/heals ones) especially my dps queues. My joke has been this year that instance cap is a raid boss when it comes to my love rocket farming. With the rocket being so low (and the manuscript) it stings more. Timer ends when the first alt phases into the dungeon, say pushing 10 for the hour, until each expires with time. I’ve been using an addon (currently savedinstances) to track my instance capping for the event which can also cause some lag reading. I wonder if the system can accombinate for more runs (specifically chemco atm), if everyone ran unlimitedly the event that could also cause issues. Perhaps there could be a holiday instance cap. I don’t think anyone is running chemco for the gold, mount/dragon customization manuscript at this point etc.
