Hello!
First, thanks so much for your patience while we worked to review your loot situation. We’ve been very busy with the release of the new expansion, but we’re helping everyone as quickly as possible.
Regarding your issue, I totally understand the dedication it takes to hunt down those rare elites, with their low spawn times and noteworthy loot. We did check into the situation for our players, and this is an area where Customer Support staff cannot directly assist. With that said, I did want to clarify a few of the causes as to why the boss was unlootable, so you can avoid it in the future.
- Even if you’re certain you attacked the boss, the game is sometimes mechanically different. If the monster is attacked right as its dying, or it resets through leashing or mind control, or even by certain players releasing – this may cause the client to reset from the tap list. In each case we’ve reviewed, we were unable to positively confirm the monster was ‘tapped’ correctly.
- Phasing is also a major point on these rare creatures. In many cases where players form groups, they do so across multiple realms. From what we’ve seen, if a party changes leader or many disband, the remaining group may be sent to a different realm in which the rare beast was not spawned. This is what causes it to disappear and become unlootable.
- Spawn rates are also something we typically do not reveal, as we’d like these creatures to remain rare, and therefore exciting for players that come across them. We can assure you that all rare beasts are spawning correctly, and will make an appearance when they’re ready. We understand you may be excited, but if a decision is made to release internal details about the beasts, we’ll do so publically.
Hopefully that provides some insight into your next hunt. Thanks for your understanding on the matter, and best of luck in your future travels in Draenor!
