Not agreeing with feedback isn’t the same as ignoring it. And almost all mmorpgs have items that are both rare and limited time. Especially many of the f2p games, they rely upon them to drive up sales of ther gamble boxes.
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it bad design. It annoys some while others enjoy the rarity, some find that earning rare items from holidays to be fun.
Normally I’m against this (like for raid drops), but holiday drops 1000% should be on the vendor Even if it’s for a ridiculous amount. (As long as that amount can be earned that year, as currency goes poof when the holiday ends)
But they really just need to implement bad luck protection for every sought after but not 100% drops. Mounts, pets, druid forms, warlock pet forms, etc.
Blizzard literally addressed this, saying they heard and understood. Then ignored it.
We’re talking about holidays and short term events specifically. This isn’t about all RNG items.
This is false. Old Republic, Rift, Palia all have holidays where everything is on vendors to buy for high amounts of currency.
It’s not about my opinion. It’s about actual design. Go play some other games and learn the difference between good and bad holiday/short term event design.
I understand that it’s simply a request to ADD additional ways to obtain the items, but having worded the title as such, the OP is requesting to remove exisiting content, which is a chance for the Headless Horseman mount to drop from the kill, same for the Love Rocket, the Grinch, etc. That’s content already in the game. Don’t take that away, add another option to acquire for those who like grinding currencies.
i just got it today and most people i know (who bother to kill the boss at least once a day) have gotten it by now, so the rng from this event is much much kinder than the love rocket as an example
im not crazy about rng events over a short timeframe but at least they didn’t curse us with another <1% mount
A guildie farmed for the love rocket mount with 30+ L70 toons and still doesn’t have it. I only did 5 toons so what’s that great RNG “increased drop rate” mean right there.
