It is the scripted stuff that makes them take longer.<br /><br />I pull 10-15 myself as a hunter. Just today for the shado-pan I got all 4 elite bugs and 10 normal ones in one pull. I have no problem with people miss pulling. I have a problem with them mass pulling and dumping their mobs on me to kill. Good thing I am a hunter so it is no big deal but I have seen people die left and right to people like that.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-22486405745358077932012-12-04T21:49:04.375-05:002012-12-04T21:49:04.375-05:00We each like different types.

I’ve never encountered anyone that’s griefed in a scenario just a few clueless people. I try to give them a quick break down and usually the newbie’s follow you like a puppy after that its cute!. <br /><br />I usually do dailies with my boyfriend we are probably the people that you hate. We pull mass amounts of mobs when we can 10-15 and just devastate them (lock and frost mage can duo anything) dailies take us 15 minutes at the most per hub. Of course once we leave we don't continue to pull things we don't need and we always stop to help someone struggling with a pull or daily if they look in trouble or are just in the area. My favorite thing to do is to swoop in and help you kill mobs fast and fly way. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-55510543650704211362012-12-04T16:04:52.446-05:002012-12-04T16:04:52.446-05:00I forgot about those extra quests, so very true, t...I forgot about those extra quests, so very true, that should help a ton.<br /><br />I loved the end quest for the golden lotus, best end quest ever in my opinion. I wish they had more like that one.<br /><br />I think it is the people doing them that I dislike more than the quest themselves. It seems like those quests bring out the worst people in the game. I can write a post just about the jerk things people do there from what I have experienced and what others have told me. No quest hub in the game comes close to being as bad as those are, player wise.<br /><br />I might give scenarios a try again but I am not secure on soloing them on another classes other than my druid or hunter and neither of those need gear from them. If I go solo, I have to be able to do it all alone because I know the quality of player in the game. I could drag some guild mates along but they are like me, they dislike that they take longer than a dungeon and give half the valor.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-18570621015830323642012-12-04T15:22:35.938-05:002012-12-04T15:22:35.938-05:00I understand I hate golden lotus too.

It should take way less than 10 days with the rep bonus. 8 dailies a day would get you there in 5 days once you hit honored and the extra quests open up that will cut a few days off that too :) I bet you can get there in 3 days. For the record I did really enjoy the wrap up quest line for golden lotus very fun with a nice reward. <br /><br />as to scenario’s and bad luck.<br /><br />You do not like them.<br />SO you say.<br />Try them!

I figure it would take 10 days only to get exalted. It is just that I do not wish to do them. Partly because they seem to be the only hub people do being they are so close to the new city and it is those people I try to avoid more than the dailies.<br /><br />I'll probably end up doing them when I have nothing left to do but until that time, and as long as there is something else for me to waste my time on, I will avoid them.<br /><br />We all have things we dislike. Mine are those fuzzy bums that wear the banner of the golden lotus.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-46104689454952088212012-12-04T14:46:00.828-05:002012-12-04T14:46:00.828-05:00Have you run 60 plus scenarios since 5.1 hit? The ...Have you run 60 plus scenarios since 5.1 hit? The increase is significant. I've ran 5 since the patch (for the daily 40 valor) and gotten a 463 item 4 times now. I've also seen at least one other person looting a blue in the group I'm in. it’s a very viable and fun/fast way to gear up alts now. <br />Get the rep bonus item and just do it. This week you can get an extra 10% too. So 10% for guild, 100% for rep item 10% for darkmoon. That’s 120%! You'll be out of golden lotus in a few days and never have to come back. Mathed out to get revered you need 9000 rep. Assuming 0 rep that’s 41 daily quests at the above rate. 220 rep a quest. Assuming you can do one in 5 minutes which I think is overly conservative time wise. That’s just under 3 and a half hours spread out over several days. I believe the term is Man up. Feel free to listen to the man up song from, The book of Mormon musical by the south park guys, while you do it. ;p http://youtu.be/fP_FT-0yS0Y <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-76144426549507963952012-12-04T13:42:35.746-05:002012-12-04T13:42:35.746-05:00Over all my characters I have run a total of 60+ s...Over all my characters I have run a total of 60+ scenarios and won 1 item that I already had a better piece than. Scenarios might be an option for someone with better luck then I but being they rarely (read almost never) drop anything of use, offer half the valor of dungeons and take longer than dungeons to do they are worthless.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-72096049537289421492012-12-04T12:21:21.374-05:002012-12-04T12:21:21.374-05:00You know, or maybe not, that Scenarios now have a ...You know, or maybe not, that Scenarios now have a chance of iLevel 476 epics in that reward bag, right? As well as the 463 items that were already a chance?
