Is there a chance we could get a mob with Oondasta’s model and colors added as a way to stop tame griefing? Today while doing the MoP world boss kills i had a hunter spam taming Oondasta on spawn for 45mins before i gave up and skipped it on my route. Could be avoided if a identical mob just stuck in Zandalar or something.
The SAME hunter?
Hmm, that might be something you want to report. That is basically play interruption, or griefing.
Nothing will probably happen, but who knows.

Simple. Just place a GCD on taming that specific mob in-game(ie. Once a week) . Problem solved.
Although I’ve seen that exact thing occur several times with different aspects of the game…I’m surprised it’s never been fixed.

Yes it was the same hunter. He would tame it, abandon it then retame it on spawn before the damage shield even dropped.
I did report him for griefing but i doubt anything will come of it.
I just wish blizz would add another mob with the same model somewhere to stop this.

It’s funny that someone would waste their time doing this.
Must be a very lonely person.

I was going to ask about that. If he was successfully taming. If he was, then he is an A-hole and is indeed griefing. If he wasnt getting him, that’s a different story.
Just be sure to spam any insta cast spell to get the claim on him. Even make a macro to target and cast. Nothing with a tick though. Has to be insta cast and damage

Doesn’t work, which is the exact problem with that spawn:
They put in a safety period, so people have time to get the kill (no damage done.)
The problem is that once they put in you being able to tame it, the tame starts during that safety period to the point where people are unable to damage it before it is tamed. So spamming spells won’t help, unless it is the slowest taming hunter on the planet.

Ah didnt know that. I tamed him once when being the first one there for him and I was good.
This is a perfect example on why I took Oon off my MoP killing list. Its just not worth the time or effort now when I may be waiting 30+ minutes for a single kill when I can possibly Sha>Nalak>Rukhmar in the same amount of time.
Kill Oon with WM on. If a Hunter tries to tame him then, kill the jerk.

Ahaha, yeah that was the thing someone posted in another thread I saw (being in warmode.) No hunters trying to tame it then (but of course, you may have other problems yourself… 
)
This.
One of the things I like about warmode is that, if something isn’t working out in that shard, you have another shard to fall back to. xD

Adding another mob with the same model wouldn’t stop people from doing what you are describing. All it’d do is let hunters who don’t want to wait 15+ mins for Oondasta to respawn a different way to tame.
A better solution would be making it so you could only tame Oondasta once a week since it’s a world boss.

Wm on or off? Id suggest off for less toxicity havent seen an issue ever with it off.
Now people get to experience what hunters have had to experience for years.
While taming the beast over and over again is excessive and likely reportable. I find it funny that after years of hunters being griefed, now that a mount is involved people are upset and calling for Blizzard to make adjustments for them.

Months ago, when this change was announced, everyone knew this sort of thing was going to happen. The people arguing against them kept saying “It’ll calm down within the first month or so.”
Keep seeing these kinds of posts regularly. Looks like it didn’t calm down that much.

If I had to guess, I am going to say he/she was waiting on the spawn tamed it got abused so decided to become a @#$% not saying it was right but in my many years of playing its seems to be logical…
Yeah it is.

Well this thread is a flashback. There were so many rage threads when they first made this boss tameable due to all the hunter griefing. I knew the moment it happened it was time to take the boss off my rounds. Permanently.
