honestly if they increased spawns there would be less lag, spawn it every 15-20 minutes during the cycle and everyone isn’t trying to get in in the first 10

There is nothing that kills my enthusiasm for WoW quite like the forums. It’s a fever swamp.
I mean, let’s be real here. How much content does this really add? Is it possibly just that it’s trying to stretch something that’s already wafer-thin too far?
Is the problem maybe that this is just unimaginative and boring and people are trying to do it as quickly as possible just to get the rewards? Shouldn’t the process itself actually be fun?
It was more fun 20 years ago because it was new. It’s not new anymore. It’s not interesting. It’s not challenging (from an actual skill perspective).
Of course, that’s just my opinion, YMMV. But, like it has felt for awhile now, it just feels like a corporate gimmick to keep MAUs up with the highest ROI possible.

other than the massive lag, you are collecting inferior gear that has 90 minute down time with you wasting 90% of that doing nothing. I have gotten better gear from doing fated LFR.
Outside of the transmog opportunity (and maybe the trinket)… the whole event is a bust.
How about the event never finishes and many times it doesn’t even start! the timer just renews to the next zone
This pre-expansion has been a disaster for me personally fill with bugs and I’m seriously questioning if I should continue to play
The main problem, as I see it, is the event is boring and the rewards aren’t worth the effort and time investment. I have no interest in collecting the TMog or the heirloom ring so I’ll only do the event if the spawns line up with my WoW logins, but I can understand why others - like collectors - are pissed about the hoops they have to jump through.
Since the boss timers are going to reduce each week, I’d wait until the penultimate week before launch to grind the event and just focus on other things now if you’d rather not schedule log ins every one and a half hours.

Its lazy design. Just regurgitate old bosses etc and chuck them in the game. Now he have a bigger nonsensical storyline! I think we have had it with talking planets etc. The storyline is a disjointed hot mess lol. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie made much more sense than this!
It’s the perfect even for people that work from home. Every 90 minutes you take a 5-minute break. You can even put your Zoom call on the other monitor if you mute the game.

I work from home and still can’t get out of meetings for the kill. They reallllly need to dial the timer way down. The other events felt so much more kinetic/energic/exciting. Where as this is like set a timer on your phone and hope for the best oops got called into a meeting guess i’ll try again in 90 min. ugh.
Not everyone can be there every hour and a half, not everyone has that sort of schedule that allows them to be available during this restrictive timetable. Yes, it will reduce over the weeks. But in 2 weeks DF is basically over.
I say this as someone who does have the sort of schedule that allows me to be there every hour and a half, and the event has just been so underbaked that I’ve just not really paid attention to it.
Why be restrictive over a few limited time items that no one will ever use again and 480 gear that is literally world quest tier? It doesn’t make sense to have to wait 90 minutes between each spawn. An hour at most, down to 30 in the latter weeks would be better.

The meetings are the real time sucks. It’s a long weekend in British Columbia, Canada and I’m remote this week, but you can’t outrun meetings if you’re senior management. I thought I could work the all three kills into my day schedule today and tomorrow, but provincial ministries and city hall departments say “LOL NO WE HAVE MEETINGS”.

You’ve stated some of the problem. To be successful you have to no life it with at least that many alts to be successful. I’ve done enough on one toon to have my heirloom ring and just broke 10k memories. I also only have a couple pieces of gear per armor type.
The only saving grace is as the event goes on it’s supposed to get more frequent.
The rest of the problem is the bugs, lag, and how fast the event is over if you don’t camp locations ahead of time.
Should have been this way from the start.
No one will scream that. What a stupid thing to say. I can see why you had to post it on an alt.

The problem is our society contains a good amount of adults who have the emotional fortitude of toddlers. Many of those choose to come to places like the official forums and places like reddit to have their little temper tantrums and stomp their feet. Mommy bought them a lollipop but it is yellow instead of blue so they need to have a meltdown for a few days.
Having a mature attitude and reasonable perspective on issues like this is far too much to ask of somebody suffering from this condition. You would hope seeing a few words of wisdom by more mentally stable posters would help them cool down a bit and be happier, but these forums are strong evidence that that effort is wasted.

DF prepatch was a prime example of “Simpler can be better”
it wasn’t complicated, there wasn’t some weird systems in play. You just went to the location, killed stuff. go rewarded.
