Can we not just have it like it was before? Was it problematic that way? It’s going to be difficult to do this stuff with friends (especially the ingots if you’re trying to optimize in the maw)

Not necessarily. What is going to happen is it will despawn and there will be however many people hovering over the node/bar waiting for it to come back. One person will get it and then the other people will have to wait. Even if it is that quick it is still one at a time.
Also, I think after this fix the Horde and Alliance will be back at war and WoW will return to its roots in the next expansion(again). It will be because of a disagreement over respawning ingots.

Bollocks.
Blizzard not communicating is WHY people are on these forums “flooding” “negativity”.
If the devs can’t look at the forums and interpret what their players are saying then they need to hire people who can (and anyway, according to the forums, Blizzard people don’t read the forums at all, so who cares what we write, right?)
This has been stated by the devs before in interviews as a deliberate design decision.
In a PvE game.
Where’s that facepalm emoji…?

This just doesn’t affect the maw quest it’s pretty much the majority of pick up quests, ardenmoth WQ with the anima cones disappears as well now.
I don’t know about you, but I feel way more engaged moving at walking speed while racing other players to animacones 
Just revert the change. One of the great advancements in questing was the drop of the philosophy that we had in classic to the shared loots and such. Ffs, it’s a video game, let us play without this annoyance.

People were still flooding the forum with negativity when Blizzard had a full staff of CMs and even the games lead developer posting stuff on the forum on a daily/weekly basis.
You’re not wrong, but you also have to include that Blizzard makes changes like this or undocumented changes in patches which helps fuel the fire of this negativity.
Yes, people on the forums are awful. And there should be action taken against them when they get out of hand. But Blizzard doesn’t help by making changes like the one here for no reason (and it will be no reason unless they actually explain why these two quests in particular have to work differently than any other ones with nodes).
Blizzard is definitely not blameless here. The forums were toxic messes but they chose not to police them and then decided to stop posting, which as you said leads to this circle effect. The few times they do now are generally not good responses, or don’t explain virtually anything.

well hopefully you’ll have some people to fix this in no-time, hopefully your development team wasnt hit by the recent layoffs.
Why does it have to respawn at all when it never functioned like that before. Just seems like another bad change.

Why was the change made in the first place?
Also, why don’t you guys document all the changes?
All undocumented changes do is erode trust. Especially the negative changes.

If it looks, swims and quacks like unto a duck, verily it must be a duck.
Or in this case pointless and stupid with greed.
A true classic.
Quest items like this have no reason to be shared in the first place. It makes me hate seeing other players in the area and makes players run and snag items when you have to clear the billion stupid adds that are always around said items.
I’m really starting to think these devs legitimately hate the player base.
Just revert to how it was before. This is a stupid and annoying change. I abandoned this quest a few minutes ago because its not worth it now.

Yep.
This quest in original setup was banged out doing souls and the clears of the 3 rares literally within 1 minute walks of each other.
Hell you could pick up most of these by the fire elemental rare. at least like 5 there for sure. The forge smith rare has some too.
That was 2012. You’d hope they’d figured out how to block and ban trolls between then and now. Instead they continue to communicate through fear. I don’t understand how you find that defensible - do you honestly think they couldn’t improve their communication if they had a will to do so?

But why change it in the first place?

Good! I was so frustrated with this quest earlier I was about to abandon it and never do it again. I had a feeling something was wrong with it.
I kinda feel bad for you having to come tell us about a decision like this that serves no purpose other than making something people already don’t like even worse. Hope the boss bought you a beer after work!
