This is the same billion dollar company that decided guild banks shouldnt be in.
In our guild bad decisions are referred to as Ion decisions… the low herb spawn rate really feels like an Ion idea.

Holy crap. Do you even math?
You’re claiming you can feed 100 people with the same amount of food it takes to feed 10. And you ain’t Jesus.
The problem is Blizzard KEPT THE SAME AMOUNT OF HERBS AS OG TBC when there are up to 5X the number of people on the server. Thus, the current herb famine.

How do you know they are bots ?
You are upset because you didn’t get to a mode before someone else ?
How do I know who was a bot? Literally . . . what?

Yes, how do you know that someone is hitting over someone just listening to music and farming
There is alot of overfarming and botting. They have a new plan to reduce herb and ore spawns and increase respawn timers to combat this effect.
Let’s see how it works first before getting upset.
Where did they say that? Because that’s the stupidest idea yet - and Blizzard’s had a LOT of stupid ideas.

blizzard chose to dramatically underestimate server quantity when they released classic, limiting the options, so yeah yes exactly
It shouldn’t be necessary to tell a player who signed up to play an OLD 2006 game that he is playing the OLD game, not some new and improved hybrid game that is somehow “better”.
Especially since Blizzard never promised a “better/best” game, but DID promise the old game to a couple of million customers.
First of all, this is not true. You haven’t tried every spot in every zone. You haven’t tried every spot at every hour of the week.
Second, this is called “competition”. It was a big problem for me, farming in BFA. Many’s the time I gave up and logged off. Other times I did well. Competition has been a key part of gathering for 16 years. TBCC is brand new. For that reason, there might be more players farming than usual (leveling farming, or getting mats for crafting, or trying to make money at the start of an expansion, when Ore and Herb prices are higher than usual).
You don’t change a game based on what happens in the first few weeks of a new expansion. Blizzard knows this. They are experts at game design.
It is unreasonable to say “my current farming method doesn’t work this week, so Blizzard must change the game to make it work”. Farming is a strategy game, NOT a freebie Blizzard gives out. Almost all money-making methods are competition against other players. Many farming strategies fail. If your farming strategy doesn’t work, find a new strategy. Or a new server. Or some non-farming activity. Or FFXIV. Or Scrabble ™.
Or wait a month or two. In my experience (playing WoW since 2004), farming changes drastically from the start of an expansion to “a couple months in”. After that, it stays about the same until the next expansion.

While this is true it does not address the core issue being discussed.
As someone else pointed out, though, it would be really foolish of Blizzard to increase spawn rates this early on.

Yeah, it is. I have been out farming already at 5 server time. No terocone. None. Not even in the “super secret” spot that everyone and their grandmother knows about.
I don’t know what it is about forum goers and their inability to do math. These are NOT authentic pops. Blizzard increased the population by up to 5X what they designed the servers for, but they did NOT adjust the herbs. You cannot expect to feed 1000 people with food meant for 10. That’s absurd.
But they DID change the game. That’s why there’s an herb famine. Blizzard increases server pops. Blizzard does not increase herb spawns. No one can say with a straight face that this isn’t a problem.
Unless, of course, math totally escapes you.
They are perfectly capable of calculating dynamic spawn rates to correlate with the population making it authentic to OG BC.

They are capable of doing a lot of things, for whatever reason a lot of them never happen.
I’d be fine with that solution and was arguing against a flat increase to spawn rates.
I’m currently leveling an alt. He’s a miner. Two times in the last two days, as I’ve been leveling, I’ve had two different players–of the same faction–approach an ore I’m at and promptly try to hit it while I am mining it.
The only time that ever happened to me back in Vanilla TBC, it was from the opposite faction. Otherwise, folks really didn’t brazenly steal your stuff. Mostly because they knew you were affiliated with a guild and you could be blacklisted for that kind of thing. It would bite your butt in the long run.

Yeah, this happens to me all the time. It’s quite frustrating.
Why don’t you just start selling? Lol. I find it odd when people complain about the price of reagents on the AH but don’t actually take advantage of it and make a profit.
Found the guy on a dead server. Must be nice
Holy wow you’re actually an idiot lol. Sheesh this is why this game will drop like flies when people get their tiers complete. No one will even want to level their alts lmao, and people like you a directly correlated to that reason
