Rare Elites in Zaralek Caverns and Forbidden Reach

[Ravij-wyrmrest-accord (Ravij)]

@Reconbravo-illidan

I haven’t seen any from any person in the last 6 months when they make this argument or claim. It’s, fix this. Thanks.

Excuse me while I find the receipts:

March 23rd: My first post about rares, how they spawn, and how I think something should be changed:

Shadowlands Rares - Easing the Restrictions

Fallen Charger’s Reins, Iska’s Maw Rat. Just a few of the tedious Shadowlands Rare mounts that have been made even more troublesome and will continue to increase in difficulty to obtain as expansions come and go. Let’s start with Fallen Charger. While at the height of it’s release and to a patch before Dragonflight dropped you could find camp groups being very plentiful and many people got their mount. The Drop rate increase did help substantially but what about those who come after? The Rare i…

April 10th: This is where I get into discussion about Dragonflight in particular:

Making Rare farming more Accessible

I’m going to be brutally honest I am not a big fan of how Rares work in Dragonflight. I wasn’t a fan of how they worked in Shadowlands as seen by my post here: Shadowlands Rares: Easing the Restrictions As it is now 10.0 Rares; like 9.0 rares, have a daily loot lock out and an excessively long respawn rate. With dragon riding you added customization options that drop of specific rares. Some are more annoying to get than others. I’ll use one particular customization/rare that is annoying to get …

June 3rd after the first hotfix fail; I call them out on the fact that the droprates were not increased using an example. They literally only took the example and said “all was well” when it wasn’t.:

Drop Rates in Zaralek Caverns Not Increased

Since the “hotfix” to make rares the “Non-focus” of the caverns, the supposed drop rate increase does not seem to have been applied. At all. Let’s take for an example the rare Karokta. The mount it drops (Cobalt Shalewing) remains at an abysmal .08% drop rate. This is the lowest drop rate of any mount from a rare within the games history. This is like Pre-Boost Pandaria World boss mount drop rates from a rare that is not easily farmable. Shadowlands rares dropped mounts at a 2% drop rate per k…

Jul 18th: Over a month after the first hotfix I once again reiterated that this change was going to kill Zaralek Caverns as a whole and that the tell tale signs of said death of the zone were already starting to be felt:

Mistakes were made with Zaralek Caverns

I had accidently posted a topic I meant to post here in the Community Council forums and despite this it drummed up a lot of discussion on the mistake the players feel was made in relation to the change of ZC rares very early into the patch. We still to this day were never told what the primary objective of the caverns was and I think we deserve to be told at least this much. I just hope that Blizz can learn from the huge mistake they made with the caverns and not do it again. Why make rares…

It some of these threads I made suggestions on change. Some of them were simply created to drum up discussion on potential points of change and guess what? They did. To say we were all clamoring “Fix this! Fix this!” without giving our words on why or how we’d like to see them fix is extremally false and someone who has been frequent both here and the GD , the only time I’ve seen you post in the GD is when your posts get linked in threads because like some sort of knight you have to come defend your honor.

I have been talking about rares, their spawn rates, THE WHOLE SYSTEM for my entire tenure as a Community Council member. To say you haven’t seen anyone discussing the matters in the past 6 months, I say to you, you must be blind. I don’t know how you don’t go to the GD every day to see the hot topics and not see a few talking about a certain system.

I’d also like to point out that these are all just my posts. Naamah, a more regular advocate than I, has made many more. Again I say to you, you must blind.
