Upon entering Shadowfen, I have observed a large force of seemingly singular individuals camping specific nodes in Shadowfen. As a result, there are not enough nodes for the amount of people trying to farm for the lead.
As an experiment I approached by mount towards a node being camped, the node was quite visible for over 5 seconds, the individual seemingly AFK at the node didn't pick it up as I approached. I ride over, pick it up and move on. However I proceed to get the following messages instantly: "Seriously?", "yikes" "******* hell".
I am not one to question the logic of drop sources normally however for an item that was very clearly going to become meta in some capacity, exactly why did anyone think this was a good idea to have its leads drop from a source that was already limited vs demand in the first place?
I have played since beta and launch respectively and I have never seen so many people in Shadowfen before not only that but I have never seen so many people rage incoherently before either and I PvP ... a place where rage is all too common. There are people so upset in fact that they are actively putting people who have posted the Harpooners wadding kilt in chat on their ignore lists. Its gotten that bad.
This whole....."problem" has resulted in virtually no nodes showing up for those actually looking because everyone is camping every single node location like a hawk (when they're not asleep)
So one of three things need to happen for this specific lead;
A ) Node respawn times in Shadowfen need to be massively bumped (its been noted that this would attract even more bots so not the best choice)
B ) Change the source entirely to something far more reasonable.
C ) Alter the drop rate to be 1 in 10 instead of 1 in 100.
