Who asked for this? Please an insight on your reward logic

I guess it’s a pathetic attempt making players visit Zaralek or FR if that matters.

lol.

@Gelyn-trollbane

Start a rare killing group

Sure thing. So when we get one down, the rest despawn.

[Gelyn-trollbane]

So you get to wait a bit.
Won’t be years.

Still don’t care.

When you hit 10years come see me and we will talk about the respawn timers.

[Evilmuffin-uther (Evilmuffin)]

@Gelyn-trollbane

Nobody is doing them in ZC anyway.

Not true at all. I watch my husband doing the rares in there, and can also see other people join in on kills.

@Gelyn-trollbane

Those server resources are better spent elsewhere.

Dude, you’re just arguing to argue. Ssshhhhh.

[Näamah-ragnaros]

I suffer bad game design, so you should suffer the same treatment…

[Bravik-argent-dawn]

@Gelyn-trollbane

we will talk about the respawn timers.

It’s definitely not EQ1 72 +/-12 hour timers, but they aren’t player friendly either.

[Gelyn-trollbane]

Fine.
Put them on a hyper respawn with 100 health.

Be a doll and bring me back about 3000 spores would you please?

[Cowvenent-area-52]

Straw man

Still don’t care.

Glad to see you’ve missed the entire point of this thread with your usual nonsense.

[Crumpetz-malganis (Crumpetz)]

@Gelyn-trollbane

Very few, if any, could do Bloody Rare at level in outland solo.

Why do you keep bringing up this random achievement? Is this like the biggest brag you have achievement wise?

[Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow]

@Gelyn-trollbane

I’ve not been to FR for months so not sure about that one.

This is not about you.

@Gelyn-trollbane

With the current catchup and gearing there is little reason to go to either place now.

I’m not understanding. The only reason to do content is to get gear rewards, and players shouldn’t care about other rewards, like cosmetics or pets? Those rewards aren’t really meant for players to work for or enjoy. So why do they exist, if the only right reason to play the game is chasing gear?

@Gelyn-trollbane

Those server resources are better spent elsewhere.

They spent resources to make this change.

@Gelyn-trollbane

If someone shows up then I’m sure they have a trigger in place to serve up a rare.

You are making this up out of nothing.

@Gelyn-trollbane

If not then it’s old school rare camping.

With “old school” rewards?

@Gelyn-trollbane

Not like all of us haven’t spent hours/days/years camping a single rare.

So you actually want new players to spend the rest of the expansion camping rares, even though they may pop only one per day?

[Gelyn-trollbane]

No
I’m pretty sure my 10,000 Daily Quests Completed is better than that one.
I also also helped Lubbins get his mojo back, so there’s that also.

I didn’t have to wait for rares to respawn for those though.

[Gelyn-trollbane]

@Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow

With “old school” rewards?

What you getting from FR/ZC rares thats useful besides mounts and pets?

[Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow]

You already said that new players shouldn’t be doing that content to get mounts and pets. I guess you don’t value those. Quite possibly there are lots of things currently in the game you do not value and think other people shouldn’t value them either. Or maybe you got yours and you want to screw over other players who want them to make your ordinary loot feel more FOMO to you.

Or maybe you just think that anyone who doesn’t play the game the way you think you should be able to make them play, anybody who wants what you have but shouldn’t get it because they don’t deserve it in your eyes, is doing life wrong and shouldn’t be playing the game.

[Trustlvlfour-zuljin]

I’m just gonna quote myself from the other thread:

@Trustlvlfour-zuljin

So let’s recap this stupid timeline Blizz created, shall we?

1. ZC got released and we were all happily forming raid farm groups to do circuits to kill rares. No issues.
2. Blizz decides this is “not intended gameplay” and so they started staggering the loot lockouts on the rares depending on which batch of WQ’s were up in different areas of ZC. Result? All the raid groups immediately died out because no one knew what their lockouts were anymore, so you would have raids splintering as they went after different rares thus causing RL’s to start kicking people left and right to save the rares for the original raid group.
3. Blizz now realising that everyone has started bailing on ZC thus making the rares impossible to kill, quickly hotfix a WQ type group auto-list and search function like with world bosses whenever you get near a ZC rare. This helps a little but the horse has bolted and it does little to stem the mass exodus fleeing ZC.
4. ZC dies a premature death as everybody stops doing all the world content in it due to the over-complication and completely botched band-aid solutions. So now you have all rares sitting up indefinitely with no way to kill any of them due to their gargantuan amount of HP unless you’re willing to afk kill a rare in tank spec for 5-10min or unless you’re a BM hunter.
5. Fast forward to now, with ZC well and truly completely abandoned, Blizz in their infinite wisdom decides they don’t like how all the rares being up 100% of the time (thus blatantly showing for all to see the complete failure of the zone) try to obfuscate their shame by implementing a 15min despawn policy for all the rares as a final “up yours” to their playerbase because apparently we “played the zone incorrectly”.

…WTF???

[Crumpetz-malganis (Crumpetz)]

They should just bomb the zone and close it off

[Kentaurus-turalyon (Kentaurus)]

If there is any logic at all behind this (and I have a hard time believing that there is) it is so incredibly flawed that my brain just can’t process it.

[Opalunaiya-bleeding-hollow]

Nothing surprises me anymore.

[Subbversion-illidan]

Reposting my comment from another thread.

Absolutely tone deaf, blizzard. Nobody asked for this. Ion Hazzikostas sits on the couch with Preach talking about respecting players and their time, and then you do this. Shameful. This change was discussed, agreed upon, put into practice, and made it to live servers. Multiple individuals and managers who had to green light this change.

Shameful.
