Multi Tapping Rares

Since when can we not multitap rares. On the Siren Isle and when rares spawn, am unable to loot or get credit as the rare is white, I thought they were multi tap for anyone that tags it.

I thought any number of players could tag it, provided they were on the same faction?

Unless the made a recent change Iā€™m not aware of?

Several expansions ago it became possible for both factions to tag a rare and get credit for it. Sounds like some guy who likes how it used to be was given the power to decide to pull the game back into the past.

I remember, I was peeved when they took it out.

It was easier for both factions to work together, but naw, now one group has to wait it out lol.

Time played metrics

Dragonflight pre-expansion patch notes say up to 5 players of any faction can tag an enemy to earn quest credit and drops, but not sure about rare-specific mobs to be honest.

I think entire raids of non-grouped people can tag stuff, I saw it all the time in the open world with ā€˜raidā€™ rares.

SL in Zereth Mortis, for example- everyone would just run up and kill the rares, ungrouped, and like 20-40+ could tag it lol.

Yeah that note I found was probably specific to non-rare/elites but itā€™s not specified. The official WoW account posted on 10/12/22 that Horde and Alliance share mob tags in Dragonflight, but will still be greyed out after 5 characters have taggedā€¦and thatā€™s definitely not how itā€™s been working since at least MoP when they introduced this new type of ā€œrareā€ on Timeless Isle.

Regressive ā€˜time playedā€™ game design or just more Hanlonā€™s Razor?

Not alone in this. I think Iā€™ve seen 2 other posts about this and guildies mention it.

Are you in warmode? I think rare tagging when it comes to factions is different in war mode.

If some one in a group tags it first no one from the other faction can. If the first one to tag is not in a group any else can tag.

Iā€™ve experienced it myself on my Hunter now. The first rare that popped and I made it to in time was already grey by the time I got there. Shot it a few times anyway, but no loot when it died.

Can confirm. Sirens Isle rares have max tap caps as well as faction locks. Posted about it a few days back but no one seemed to care.

I thought everything was shareable now but somebody was farming mobs and I tagged them and they suddenly turned gray on me.

Noticed this on the 2 new rares on siren isle. More than 5 players you cant get credit.

I havenā€™t started SI yet, but I keep hearing negative things about it. If Iā€™m just going to waste time trying to tag rares on top of it just seeming blah, why bother? Honestly, Iā€™d rather just stick to old farms.

The only reason people come to these forums is to complain. Half of them arenā€™t even serious and just want to stir a pot.

The ring is supposed to be useful until mythic track of next xpac and thereā€™s 4 mounts and a bunch of transmogs. Not really sure what else people expected from a filler patch. Itā€™s not groundbreaking but itā€™s fine.
