Black Lotus: the extreme demand chokepoint

[Fafniel1]

Anyone who raids can see that this is going to continue to be an enormous problem as new dungeons start to come out. I have a simple solution to this: add a guaranteed "varying" quantity of 1-3 Black Lotus drop to the last boss of a raid instance, sort of how the mana potions in the DM Tribute chest work.

Ragnaros and Onyxia would be the only bosses to drop them at the start, the 20 man raids may be another candidate for this as well, seeing as it would also add an incentive for people to continue to raid these instances long after they are deep into AQ/Naxx.

I don't think this would have a drastic effect on the server economy, seeing as these are consumable items and are used weekly by the players dedicated to progression on raid content. I am curious to see what everyone thinks, flame away.

I don't think it's possible to alter the client in such a way to change the loot drops of NPC's. Even if they could, wouldn't be blizzlike.

In any case, maybe just slightly make their node spawns in world a bit more dynamic/faster.

BL is easy enough to get already with it spawning on all 4 zones. There's nothing to be "fixed".

Loot tables are server side. But yeah, never gonna happen.
Increase herb spawns instead.

pls go Rmp, collector of noir lotuses.

OP, you're a fool if you didn't stock up on BL. this was obvious to anyone.
