Rare mobs (Silver Dragons) are spawning much too quickly. I’ve been watching one respawn about every 40 minutes. (once perhaps even shorter than that). Should be much longer. Its not a hunt if the prize is always there. if memory serves 4-6 hours was a much more satisfying hunt.
With mega servers 4-6 hours is cancer. You probably haven’t noticed but they removed the ability for addons like unitscan or npc scan to work which makes ANY rare hunting quite a bit harder. I think the rare spawn rates are fine so everyone can enjoy them not just a few people.
Some of these “bugs” have been pretty beneficial. Like how I was finally able to get my fishing ring because no one could lose.

Its far too easy right now. I worry that its much closer to the retail version of “rares” that are meaningless. Hunting rares is one of the best parts of the game for people that enjoy it and I was so disappointed when I came back for Legion and found it had been removed.
Not a bug. This is accurate to original MoP. Rares had an average spawn timer of about an hour, with it adjusting based on population. So populated servers would see it adjust to closer to half an hour, low pop servers would see it be about 1.5 hours.

This is true except the part about adjusting to population. Rare spawns don’t do that. All Pandaria rares have a spawn timer of about 45-60 minutes.
Supposedly it’s something that original MoP had, to curb pain points caused by large servers. Either way, the spawns are really short.
I think this is a lie ive been sitting here at this rare treasure spawn locations for the boa weps for 2hrs none have spawned.
treasures take longer than rare mobs to spawn by a large margin. mainly because the actual good loot off the rare spawn is usually a 10% droprate, while the treasures are guaranteed
