I can’t think of how you could possibly fix the Oondasta situation you’ve created. I’ve been sitting here for 45 minutes, with 3 to 6 hunters and the same priest. I don’t know how you could possibly reconcile a group of people trying to kill something that another group is trying to tame. Both groups are always present for every single spawn every 15 minutes. With one hunter taming him every 15 minutes, it would take an hour for every hunter standing here right now to get him, and 2 more have shown up while I was typing this post. Mount farmers will never be done with it, because the drop rates of Pandaria world bosses are so low that people have been farming this mount every 15 minutes on every server since MoP was out and it’s been obtained by 2% of accounts. So if you have 2 groups of people who want to do different things with this spawn, and will continue to do so until the end of WoW (which looks like it might be sooner rather than later, based on what I’m reading on the forums with this extra hour I’ve had standing around accomplishing nothing).
So what could possibly be the fix for this? Is the Oondasta mount now unobtainable? Effectively removed from the game until every single hunter in the game has obtained it, one at a time, including the ones that will continue to be created? Are you going to implement changes that make it farmable again, which will make hunters unable to obtain it? If so, why even make the change? I really can’t see a solution to this mess you’ve created, other than going back in time and making drop rates for these 4 mounts not so dismal that at least 3 people are here trying to get them every 15 minutes for the last 6 years.
So what could you do to fix this? The last time it spawned, it was tamed before it took a single percent of damage. Me and this priest have been here for over an hour, with nothing to do but write angry forum posts that will undoubtedly get lost in the absolute flood of angry forum posts. It just spawned again, and even with 7 non-hunters, it still got stolen out from under us, and there is still another hunter waiting. I’ve been here over an hour now. How long should I waste standing here before I give up and admit that you’ve effectively removed this mount from the game’s loot table? I’m paying actual money to stand in one spot doing nothing, while getting angry every 15 minutes.
What’s most baffling, is that someone had to see this coming. Blizzard is a presumably large company. Not one person there foresaw this outcome? Was it your intention to pit the mount farming community against hunters, a group that’s already maligned enough in WoW. I just can’t figure out how you let this happen, and I definitely can’t figure out how you could possibly fix this without basically choosing which group you want to anger. I just don’t understand.
2 more hunter have ridden up while I was typing that last paragraph.
