I had been in a raid group for about three hours farming the badges to summon the special mobs but it was getting very tedious and almost impossible to even continue with due to the amount of people in raid and general saying or asking the same thing: "what do we get from this?", "what the point of this?", "where the achieve?" "What mount we get?" "Where pet?" "No stuff at vendor?", "where my toy?" etc etc etc... When trying to explain the significance of the event and that it’s for bragging rights essentially, people would instantly drop out and leave. The amounts of “this is pointless” “screw this!" "Blizz really f'ed up" is infuriating.
It took three hours roughly to grind 1250 tokens, and that was with about 15-20 of us joining with other groups, giving all our tokens to the nominated holder. Admittedly it was anticlimactic after defeating the summoned mob, but the amount of people dropping out, quitting leaving and just instantly giving up was really disheartening.
Defeating the zone/world bosses that spawned would constantly evoke rage in general by others, "wtf where is the gear?" "What do they drop?" "Are they bugged" is just unbelievable.
I have been loving collecting the green set pieces, some cool leather sets dropping and some really nice low level weapon mogs, but the majority of people taking part then rage quitting are making it really hard to continue with.
Its hard to get people to stay and take part. I'm finding it great fun, just a shame its hard to get community spirit.
Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
