I stopped doing rares because they never adjusted them for the new spawn rates. I did the biweekly stuff, so I’m good for a bit. There’s no reason for me to go down there.

It def feels like more of the fun stuff was left out for the .5 patch coming.

I’m neither for nor against this.
It’s a question of whether there’s a target audience out there who is enjoying this content. If there is, so be it. I just don’t see it when I’m out wandering the world doing the stuff I enjoy. Those parts of the world look dead to me.
I’m not a player playing alone in the world because there isn’t content in the world that requires me to group up. I’m a player playing out in the world because that’s where I find the content that doesn’t require me to group up.
I like seeing other people around me. I enjoy moments of emergent cooperation. I don’t want to be alone in an instance by myself (or, by extension, in a single-player game). But I’m not looking for group content.
Again, if you or anyone else enjoys this through groupfinder, I’m not asking for it to be removed, I just don’t see you in the world and thus I’m just curious if you enjoy it more than you would have enjoyed having another dungeon instead?

i feel like a portal or something down there would help. I set it as my hearth on some characters but eh.
One thing I really liked in some content was that there would be little buffs you could get clicking on things in the elite zones. If they had things like that near rares for helping the person stuck trying to solo it for a drop that would be welcome.
(to me at least)

Never have issues finding group keep trying
It was. The rewards were lame. The mounts were reskins and the rest was just more rep gridns.
no good crest fragment farm
no good item to farm
no splinters or shadowflame spark farm like we used to do rares for Spark of Ingenuity (With this alone the cavern would be bloated with players).
“Rare” mobs are now basically raid bosses, cant solo them, need a small grp.
Niffen rep rewards are terrible IMO
And so on.

Failed content. on purpose.

No. The world is meant to be challenging too. These elites are not easy to kill unless you’re a tank in my experience. Many have extremely large health pools and some pretty nasty spells + are very tightly packed together.
All they need to do is dramatically ramp up the crests and stones earned from these quests (or even let them just drop from mobs) to match their challenge. If some lone tank wants to spend 3 hours slowly chipping away at 30 of them… let them.
But this idea that no overworld content should ever require more than 1 player to be done… is kind of silly.

Didn’t see this before I made my post. /who showed 8 people in the new zone. What worries me is 10.1.5 doesn’t seem to have content.
And where is the “bonus” in killing the rares? LOL.

They could even just give us back the buff we got during the campaign.
There is also still a world quest where the expedition teleports you to a cave of elite watchers and you are automatically given a buff to solo the watchers. That buff would work wonders for the Caldera elite zone.

This would never happen but if they made anima drop off the Zaralek Cavern rares (so I can go back to Shadowlands and buy some of the transmog, etc. that I still want) I’d definitely help kill them more. I don’t need flightstones or whatever because I mainly prefer to gear through PvP
edit: that or make it so you can buy anima with flightstones
I’ve been back a couple of times since I said I wouldn’t. Each time I regret it. I’m not a fan of free for all quests. It’s dumb watching others sit idle while others rebuild the statue, sit idle until the mob is about to die and one tap it, etc… There’s just a lot of dumb down there in that hole.

I don’t get it taking content away from players that only do world content is just crazy. They are taking away from a large portion of your player base. I am older and don’t have the time or energy to play like I use to. I don’t raid or m+ only world so they are giving me no incentive to keep paying and playing the game and its sad. 13 years I’ve played but the last 6 they have declared war on solo players. If they think I can be pushed into doing content I don’t have time for they are wrong. As much as I don’t want to i’ll just quit!

The world boss is the worst experience down there. 0 incentive to do it.
