This is now on my shard, during peak: https://imgur.com/a/kRMdGBT
Today I done my 14 kills on Karokta, was in multiple shards during the day, on a Sunday, where they all looked like this, all or most rares and event were up and no one to help do them.
I logged into an alt, Karokta was up, listed a group and zip, not even a single person joined the group.
Not only is there no one wanting to do rares because we can’t more than once per 4 days, you have a rare that drops a mount that historically would garner enough people within minutes to fill a raid, but nothing.
People are giving up even on the mount farming because not only because you can do your kills once per 3 days (1 day when it does not spawn) and that means you can spread your kills over the 3 days it is up, but also because the drop rate is utter garbage.
Every day it was up 14 times I would join or list a group, get 10+ people every time, some groups 30+, other people in the mount discords doing upwards of 60+ alts a day in raid sized groups, before the change I seen the mount once, after the change, I have seen it once.
Since it is coming to the point where people are starting to hit renown 20 and getting all their stuff done, the place is just getting more and more empty, and in the middle of peak play time, yeh not fun Blizzard.
This change needs to be reverted, because like myself there are many players who are not just rushing all the rares and events down there, I still have many manuscripts to farm, I still have pets, transmogs, achievements, and worse is since there is almost no one down there now, when the researchers event starts you can no longer find anyone to help you, so getting those achievements done, or for those still trying, getting the mount is turning out to be nigh on impossible some days.
