I will give 2 examples of how not having a timer can be annoying…
Imagine you wanna farm sha of rage for your serpent mount, and you have multiple characters for that, you kill the first then log off and swap toon and repeat.
However, when you switch you need to keep looking since you cant minimize the game because youre not gonna be alerted when the sha is back for the kill, and there´s no addon i founded that does the sound that he returned so i can go right back in game to kill him in time, which means i need to keep looking for him and wasting 15 minutes for each toon i have.
Second example is more recent, you know these rare world bosses from icc pre patch event to equip alts? well the bosses that can spawn are random, and there´s also no timer, so you need to keep looking or you´re gonna miss it.
Which kind of players do not have to deal with this problem… essentially, people with 2 or more monitors, and thats not me, and i dont wanna buy another monitor, its dumb for me to use more than one monitor.
this would be a nice QOL update which means its approximately on the bottom of their list of things to ever do. I would however like to see it
