Please fix archaeology

It doesn’t remove them completely but reduces the chance of them appearing.

Troll will still show up commonly in EK because theres just so many sites so they will show up more than night elf/nerubian, but less than fossils, and much less than dwarf.

Dwarf: 31% ~> 36%
NE 4% ~> 8%
Troll 35% ~> 18%
Fossil 26% ~> 30%
Nerub 4% ~> 8%

I’m not sure if this is how they distribute the extra weight from trolls but a loose idea of how it shifts. It’s a decent boost to any unfinished collection.

I don’t personally mind the tiny spawn chance. I hate that some discoveries are bugged, and wont appear which means you can never make those nodes go away lol

Not really needed, but Zin is 1000 dps better then the dungeon Pre-bis for unholy. Which if everyone in your raid is doing 500-1000 extra dps or HPS it is a massive help for the first couple weeks of heroic raids.

And it’s for this specific reason that it should be rare and not handed out. Ferals get nothing from archeology, do you see me or any of them upset about it? No, and it’s because we knew going into cata that it didn’t exist, just like people KNEW going into cata that archeology is a long boring process. The freaking gumption that people have asking for hand me out epics before cata even starts it’s insane.

Asking for potentially 50+ hours of work to mean something is not asking for a hand out.

It absolutely is and you know it. You can justify it all you want.

Which is only ~3% off of the next best thing which isn’t worth ripping your hair out. I’m not sure if it’s true but I’m hearing talk about people quitting over these odds which is honestly a pretty bad reason imo to quit.

Okay go to your job if you have one work your 80 hours and your employer rolls a dice to see if you get a paycheck or not. You know to prevent handouts and all.

People who “quit” because of archeology were always going to quit, it was just a matter of when.

This is false equivalency, you get paid to work, you pay to play wow.

Yeah, they’d likely quit after raiding a couple times, then come back next raid tier to see the new raid then repeat.

The current state of legendary acquisition is more of a hand out than getting a consistent way to progress toward and epic solve.

source: i made it up

What do you mean source?

I said they’d likely quit, it’s an opinion I wasn’t stating a fact…

“i make stuff up out of nowhere to support my own opinion”

Not really, there is a limited number of legendaries you get per tier because the of item drops and quests. Does that sounds familiar?

“Doesn’t know what an opinion means, thinks opinions are facts.”

usually when people have opinions they have a reason for having them, you don’t

Did you even read what I’ve been saying?

yeah, i did

“they’d likely quit after raiding a couple of times”

ok, where did you get that inclination from? nothing? oh

I actually get joy from watching these people cry about and punch holes in their wall because they can’t get zin’rokh. It’s like watching a 12 year old have a meltdown. The funniest thing is watching them wriggle and twist goalposts on why something that literally only matters for the first tier of raiding should be automatic.
