Most quests are almost impossible to complete because of spawn rates being frustratingly low. Almost every questing area will have dozens of people just running around fighting for tags, mobs taking over a minute to respawn even though the area is crowded. What’s going on? I legitimately feel like just dungeon grinding to 40 because questing is so slow and frustrating.

Working fine for me.
High pop server?
Sure.
Nah, Glinda is just a troll around here. Of course it’s “working” for him.
It’s working fine.
No troll.
I agree i tried doing the turtle quest around tarren mill and gave up and went back to dungeon grinding.
I’m not responding to Glinda, I’m asking if you’re on a high pop server
I agree. The respawn rate of quest mobs and quest items that must be picked up is abysmal. If multiple people are trying to do the same quest it’s not fun at all. Just frustrating. The point of video games is to have fun, so fix it.
The first part of Gann’s Reclaimation in southern Barrens is a perfect example of how quests should work and also how quests can be a miserable failure.
You have to kill a bunch of miner / foreman mobs, and then you have to kill a single named mob (the prospector). The miners are a hyperspawn. Every time one of the mobs is killed, another mob spawns somewhere in the area. It’s super easy to get them done.
The prospector has a ridiculous spawn time and everyone needs to kill it, so if someone else tags it first then you just sit there for 10 minutes and wait. Someone else tags it again? Another 10 minutes wasted. It’s just horrible design.
The most difficult part of a quest should not be tagging mobs faster than other people. It doesn’t make for an enjoyable experience. Quest mobs and quest items that spawn on the ground should hyperspawn always and forever.

Honestly, I’m kind of done with SOD.
All of phase one I did BFD, and I couldn’t get half of my bis loot even in guild runs.
Now phase two, I’m 35. It takes me 1 hours to try and find a dungeon group that runs once or twice.
Questing is impossible. I’m running around and there are literally no mobs up. Literally unable to level this way. The quest design is so broken with the number of players per layer. Some mobs take 10-15 min to even respawn. The. You have 5 groups of people trying to all do it.
The scaling and balance is so messed up, even for classic standards.
Most of the new runes are all 38+, elites, but I can’t do quests or dungeons. Ultimately this is the most frustrated I’ve been with wow pretty much ever. I’m just venting in frustration wanting to play the game at this point.
“You guys doing x?” “Inv?” “Nice, gj guys see ya around!”
Why quest when you can just run SM spam? This isn’t 2004 anymore.
any class without insta range tag it’s not worth. As a meta lock insta searing pain has caused so many tears from stolen tags. Have fun waiting on the 10 min respawn
And if they won’t boost the respawn rate, then make more layers. Having more people than mobs milling around spamming their tab key waiting for some poor unsuspecting mob to spawn isn’t fun.
try walking in raids or dungeons…
