Herb respawn

Hello guys!
I have noticed a quite annoying problem on this server - the herb respawn times. It is damn near impossible to get a 5 Plagueblooms or Dreamfoils let alone a whole stack of them and this is reflected on the AH prices. These days the only viable way to make potions is to buy the mats off the AH, unless you want to spend two hours running around EPL and WPL only to find 5 pieces of the herb you need. This renders alchemy almost useless when it comes to making gold off of it. I think the herbs respawn rate should be increased due to the high population of the server. Blizzlike respawn rates with a non-blizzlike community size just doesn't work.

Edit: Just checked the AH, the price of a single piece of Black Lotus is 70g. At best.

The herb/ore spawns are increased, they are still being overfarmed. There are already threads about it in the suggestion forum.

They need to be increased more. There still are not enough black lotus spawns per week to provide a single HP flask for each raid tank once bwl comes out, which is completely fucking ridiculous.

Blizzlike rates, move along carebears. The issue back in the day was fixed by setting a cap on the server, no thx.

pls use your math skills or anything else to provide a proof that the need of black lotus is going to be higher than the actual availability

further, the black lotus BoP should be fixed and all other herbs/veins grouped as they actually should to stop their too high availability that is not blizzlike

Nost is not 110% "blizzlike".

We've had battlemasters since launch even though they weren't added on retail until 1.6

We've had 1.12 talents since launch as well

etc.

While blizzlike is the intention, note it says "like" not "exact", certain things either cannot or should not be exactly as it was in Vanilla, because of programming restraints/difficulty, population, and the fact that it is 2015 and people aren't playing like they did back then.

Another thing that isn't blizzlike are mount costs. Before patch 1.12 mounts were 1000g each and riding skill only 100g, go make a thread asking for mounts to be increased by 900g and see how that goes over.
