We already did several times, for example:
-
Add an item that drops from nearby npcs that could trigger the rare respawn.
-
Add the Legion legendary / Evoker legendary mechanic, so each attempt increase the drop % for the next attempt, every attempt matters.
Example of council post and I can check more: Bad Luck Protection , [Mounts/Pets] Adding event items to vendors - extra bad luck protection
And the multiple ideas provided by previous council members for scenarios like Love rocket between Chimes comment back in 2022 event and this year.
All the feedback that was provided without any follow up with the community.
- Add a vendor for a special currency that’s drop from the rare, after X amount of attempts you’ll have the reward, again any attempt matters even if you’ve to wait 2-3 hours AFK.
I mentioned this before check the Mounts for 10.2 and how those were implemented with active gameplay in mind and some bad luck protection systems later.
I’m already farming those mounts but I know that their implementation has a better approach for players that play few hours per day or a massive amount of hours, also for returning players in next expansion or new ones.
