Here’s the thing though, I’ve put up with enough time-gating this xpac… These world bosses from 2 major patches ago should not hold me back right now. It’s just plain dumb.
it’s dog crap design, when your options are: wait X weeks until the boss that drops it is up, or spend resources on buying random ones until you get the one you need.
just putting the stupid things on a stupid vendor so we could buy the one we need would have been… what, too hard?
Go do some runs of torghast. 600 cinders gets you one of the random ones. Probably won’t take long, and you’ll eventually get the one you need without needing to wait a couple of weeks.
I don’t think OP wants to do this to be honest. He’s put up with a lot of timegating. Which we all have and I can understand his pain I guess albeit not as well I guess
Don’t quit there’s so many other things you can work on right now.
I try not to let myself get exhausted grinding or thinking about one specific thing I don’t have.
For instance I’ve been doing loremaster and working on all these various reputations for things like the netherwing or whatnot. It keeps my mind off of not having that one thing and it frustrating me.
what I read was “this is so dumb” “I’m so frustrated” THEN “Am I missing something” So they could have asked “Am I missing something” first, and it wouldn’t have come off as complaining or “Hey guys, is there a way to X, it’s pretty frustrating to wait” See the difference?
Well they did say they were gonna quit over it. Either way, the last few expansions, the world bosses have been on a weekly rotation, such as trying to farm the Mollie mount from BFA. I believe it’s up once every 6 weeks. While annoying to have to wait for the one with the right memory to be up, it’s highly doubtful that they are gonna knock off the weekly rotation on the SL bosses just for that purpose, and at this point, it would take a long time to implement even if they did.
I’m sure a lot would if something as important as one’s legendary is locked behind a time gate. We live in a world of instant gratification. If blizzard can’t provide that, people will go elsewhere. WoW isn’t bringing in a lot of new players these days for a reason.
