The Black Lotus problem

[Peeporiot-benediction]

Black Lotus spawn rate. The spawn rate implemented by the developers was equivalent to Vanilla warcraft spawn rates but in 2025.

this isn’t correct, they already buffed the rates in original classic and anniversary servers have buffed the rates again for a 2nd time (no one knows the rates), u should know this if you are into the math like you say you are

@Belkira-nightslayer

This isn’t even high school level basic economics it’s just simple algebra.

@Belkira-nightslayer

I’ve done the math previously.

want to share with the class how you did maths on spawn rates u didnt know, on servers u dont know how many layers there are, without knowing when every lotus was picked for the first time or picked after each spawn? yeah…

high school level basic economics = make stuff up to suit my own narrative then say its fact

kind of insane in all of your research into how black lotus works and all your math u didnt even notice that it was buffed already, that would sort of bring your credibility into question wouldn’t it? Kinda makes me think ur just full of it

In original WoW, designers planned Black Lotus around a technical limitation – only 10 spawn locations per node type could be active at the same time in the same zone. We no longer have that limitation, but it gives us a design intention that we can work with: Black Lotus was supposed to spawn in the widest variety of locations, while there could only be one up at a time in each zone. As always, our goal is to minimize differences from original World of Warcraft, and we feel this is a case where we can follow that design intention in a way that is warranted by modern conditions as well as beneficial to players.

We’re going to increase the spawn rate of Black Lotus, and we’re going to add many additional possible spawn locations in each of the Black Lotus zones. With a different hotfix, we’re working on making it so that a player cannot see a Black Lotus on-screen or on their minimap if they’re dead, unless they have 300 Herbalism.

Super weak and intellectually dishonest

oh dear, surely you weren’t doing the math based off of vanilla spawn rates? wouldn’t that make everything you just said completely and utterly wrong?
