Decrease respawn timer on Xorothian Stardust

[sascha1es]

It's just sad, that the GM's don't even reply here recognizing the problem. I understand that they have a shitload to do, but just a "hey, we heard about that problem and look into it" or something like that, any statement, would be better than just completely being ignored.

EDIT: This is utterly frustrating! Logged in to check for him, killed by the opposite faction, 6g Potion Buff gone. How is this going to be after a server restart? 20 Warlocks all fighting against each other for one item? Do you really think this is how it's been on retail classic? Is it really that hard to do something about this?

Hi everyone!

First i want to say BIG thanks to all of you who made this server available to us. We are getting bigger and bigger and its awsome, and i have no doubt that you will handle the lag issues and all other stuff thats comes with high population!!

On other side, i ussualy dont participate on forum discussions but sadly i feel like i have to say something about this matter. 12h on respawn timer is a big joke on so high populated server, was that item limited or no on retail makes no difference when im seeing tons of ppl camping desperatly for that item, and getting stuck on that place mybe for weeks. I bought 3 potions for 18g, i have 14min left on my last potion, every time i log in to check for item im at risk of geeting killed and losing the buff. And when i lose the buff and return to burning steps how many potions do i buy, one or ten? This rly isnt feir!

Cheers!

I also hope they do something about it, I won't reiterate what you guys already said, I just wanted to leave a comment to say that I really support this.

Devs, we know you have a lot to do, we really appreciate your work and we understand, now please, drop a comment every now and then.

I agree. I understand that making the respawn timer shorter than it was on retail would make it non-blizzlike but I look at it as no different than mob respawn rates. Since the devs have added a dynamic respawn rate to mobs to make leveling about as difficult as it was on retail, why not make this quest about the same difficulty as retail too?

As it is now, warlocks are camping in front of the vendor for days at a time (over 24 hours for me so far), logging in every 30 minutes or so to check for the stardust, and then logging back out to retain the 20-minute disguise buff you need to purchase the item. If this goes on much longer, I can see players missing out on a whole week's worth of gameplay before finally getting the opportunity to spend 150g for one item in a long, expensive quest chain. I'd like to be able to do dire maul soon, but I've wasted so much time waiting on this Xorothian Stardust that I don't want to leave now.

As far as I'm aware, Xorothian stardust shouldn't even be in limited supply in vanilla. Current respawn timer is 12 hours.

I'll make a bug report with it later if I can find supporting evidence

I thought the same. So I googled around and found a comment from 2006 complaining that it was sold out.

After all these years, I can disgustingly remember me and my brother raging about this item in Vanilla. Even though I was only 12, and he 15. This item was in limited supply, but I have no clue how long the respawn timer was. I highly doubt that the current Nostalrius 12 hour respawn time is correct compared to how Blizzard had it in Vanilla.

And even if it was 12 hours (what I highly doubt), how do they justify implementing a dynamic spawnrate for mobs to make questing even possible but not for this item? Where's the difference? It's not a surprise this quest becomes impossible when you have almost 4x the blizzlike population online.
