So… I can’t be the only one that likes to farm rares for the nice things they drop, right? However sitting for 2-3 hours for a rare to spawn just to have the disappointment of time wasted when said thing you’re eyeing does not drop. I am not talking about Breezebiter but ALL rares this expansion in general.
There are rares that are not labeled as such that do not show up on the minimap, that don’t announce they have spawned, to which we must wait 2-3 hours for a respawn.
I want to know who decided that from beta to live, the change in rares from a very good 30-40 min respawn to this 2-3 hours cessfest would be a good idea.
ALL these rares; with the exception of Breezebiter, have daily loot lock outs so why make them such a long respawn rate? It’s insane to me that you would do this for those of us who enjoy farming rares for doing the things we enjoy doing; collecting.
Every day for the past week or so I’ve been sitting at just two rares trying to get the Highland Drake: Ears customization where I have waited 5+ hours for a spawn on both of them combined. By the time they spawn and refuse to relinquish their drops I question the devs decision to make these respawn rates asinine.
Why did you go one step forward with 7.0 and 8.0 rares being pretty much instant then take 5 steps back with Shadowlands and Dragonflight when these rares already have a daily loot lock out to begin with? It makes Zero sense.
Some people don’t have the luxury of sitting here waiting for a single rare to respawn since it’s last kill and will likely go months of being unlucky to not even seeing it, only for the .01% chance that they happen upon it untouched, kill it, and do not get anything worth of note. Thus the cycle repeats itself.
You might be asking: “Ravij why are you waiting? You don’t have to.” Well let me tell you; when I see something I want, I will do everything in my power to get it, even if it means sitting here in an unhealthy manner trying to stay put so I dont miss the spawn and have to waste another 3 hours waiting for it to respawn.
Blizz, you’ve been doing good with this expansion so far but the rares and the rates at which they respawn compared to beta is a step FAR beyond the wrong direction. As I said, this is a design decision that benefits no one and is a highly unhealthy choice by the devs.
