Scrap Piles are garbage piles now

So yes they have fixed the rare, it now spawns, I have seen it. But they have also increased the number of things that happen in each pile to an unmanageable amount of crap.

I just joined a group, had 30 of us, couldn’t even get to 500.

  1. Instead of the 3 things that spawn to slow you down, there was like 10.
  2. The lag makes it so it takes too long to get it done so you end up losing scrap time.
  3. The amount of people standing around spamming stuff means you cannot even see the things that slow you down.

So I tried in a smaller group, found one listed for a low population server, we had TWO people in the group and at the first SCRAP pile we had like 4 people total… made no difference. There was still a ton of things that spawned that slowed us down and made it impossible to get anything done.

Great game Blizzard.

It’s genuine insanity. Why is shoveling trash not an extra action button? Why do I need to find it in the minefield of bombs, wiggling bags, elite mob bloat, and like 25 other players?

All this while the droprate on mog and the spawn of the achievement rare are garbo. I genuinely wouldn’t mind these last two parts if the rest of it was smooth sailing. I think scarcity is a good thing, but not when it’s just an absolute lagfest and you can’t click anything. And when you do click it, the game interrupts it for you with bombs and bag mechanics. And knockbacks.

someone actually got paid to design this and then convince other people at blizzard this it was a good idea. and then pay programmers to do this.

Someone at Blizzard has a low opinion of WoW players or a low opinion of the zone, I feel like this is a weird inside joke. Digging trash is terrible design. It is forced grouping at its worst.

The mob doesn’t spawn anywhere near enough. It’s absolutely terrible design and it needs to be improved.

It’s not that bad. I can get a scrap pile to 66% by myself with the robot. I still wish they’d slow down the hazards, though.

Yeh, it is that bad.

You can never solo it yourself, I give it a couple of weeks before groups stop forming and you are never going to spawn the rare for the pet or mount.

if there where 30 of you, and didnt get close to 500 then more then half the group was NOT digging, i been in groups of 10 and get 500 everytime, but all 10 are digging

I don’t even bother participating anymore, out of 20 or so attempts, we got to 500 once and nothing happened, it just isn’t worth the frustration of racing over to a location only to have someone start it when there’s nobody else there, then barely put any effort into it.

(just to be clear, this is just random people out in the world, no groups)

takes a few digs toget it to spawn lol but getting 500 takes like 45s with 10 people

They seem to have been nerfed again, only giving 7g now.

Agreed, yesterday got to 500 3 times in a row with like 4 people. Its pretty easy.

I tried this a few times, said “this is literally hot garbage” and haven’t been back to it since.
