MoP scenarios wasn't popular either but they keep that as some new mechanic for questlines and story purpose. I think Islands could work as some random location you have to do either king of the hill or BR kind of event. Also HoA is just the legion artifact thing but prunned, they are gonna to use that in the next expansion but with some changes, maybe the 8.2 version will be like the "alpha" for the next expansion model of that system
Finished I'm Here For The Pets last night after ~300 IEs...... still comfortably sitting on 0 mounts.
Done about 400 over the past 4 weeks and still need a couple of pets and a couple of the quest items. One of each relate to nerubians so was hoping to get those this week but no luck so far (I'd say about 30-35 islands with them this week). Will try more tonight before the EU reset.
Wowhead has these up for this week.
Jorundall with Vrykul
Un'gol Ruins with Quilboars
Verdant Wilds with Primal Druids
Quillboar don't even have an entry on Wowhead for loot so this looks like a great week.

Anyone knows if Feral Worgen can be "main" mobs on island, or are they only in Duskhaven and invasions?
I feel like its time to make suggestion-spam on offical forum to blizzard. 8.2 has 0 changes to this crap...

I did a hole list of issues here https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...2#post51091912
BFA for collectors are the most insane toxic exp ever - And thats saying something. Its so bad no other exp compares even closely. Makes vanilla wow grinds seems fine.

They did say about adding the island expedition drops to vendors near the end of the expansion but I'm going to believe that when i see it (so people can get those last few things ;-) - I think they overestimate how easy it is to get things with all the RNG). I would have to estimate costs for things will be extortionate if they do.
I knew mounts were unreasonable to chase after under the RNG model, but I'm surprised how annoying it is getting other things like toys or items-that-start-a-quest. The layers of RNG and repetition of certain mobs that offer basically nothing (like feral worgen or makrura) is just more disappointment. And Blizzard still doesn't address this crap, while they excitedly link that they're adding yet another island to the pool in 8.2.
What a shit show BFA is even with modest goals that exclude mounts.
I like this week because of the Makrura as I haven't the pet yet. Of course, didn't do me much good with Nerubians (the other pet I don't have) a couple of weeks ago and I only got the last quest item I needed from them late on the last day. I do my weekly quest and basically hope that they will add a vendor at the end of the expansion like they suggested they would. There's no point going overboard in the hope of getting a mount as the droprates are pathetic and there are too many things on the loot table adding more layers of RNG.
Pets are the only thing I think are reasonable, since they can be auctioned, and some are worth good money, though it's pretty RNG how much they go for. The real problem though is that with any RNG system, the further into a collection you get, the more your chance of running across something that can actually drop anything you're after shrinks.
One of the things I really hate about RNG is that is actually takes something that SHOULD be a positive development feature (a wide variety of potential enemies) and turns it into a negative. The bigger the pool of mob varieties, the more punishing RNG will become as you work your way through the list of things you're trying to get, until finally you get to a point where you've got a 1/20 chance each week of getting a 1/3 chance per match of getting a 1/100 chance of a drop. The fractions just stack in terrible ways (most of which wouldn't be terrible if the system allowed all the rewards to be auctioned, because then you get the benefit of crowd-sourced RNG, which gets very different, like with pets).
Like I said, I've left the mounts off my list of things I'm after, but man, seeing the islands rotate in certain mobs for what feels like the 4th or 5th time (I feel like I've seen feral worgen many times now) while I still haven't seen others that offer what I'm after once is just annoying. And all of this leaves me just scratching my head at whether the developers (like Muffinus) have absorbed any of the feedback on islands, because it sounds like 8.2 changes absolutely nothing other than adding in one new location, when 8.2 is supposed to be this massive patch they've been tailoring to respond to feedback in all sorts of other areas.
