The fact that world events are on a timer is really being exploited. I’m not hating on anyone who’s event hopping. It’s to be expected given how predictably they occur, and the quality of the loot that they now give out. I do a bit of event hopping now too.

The downside to all this farming though, is both in terms of the quality of the experience in those events(it’s a lag fest where most bosses are killed in seconds), and the fact that it forces many people into overflow when they are occuring. If the timing of the events wasn’t so predictable, then people wouldn’t be able to farm the events as easily, and it would hopefully lead to the events being more enjoyable overall.

To cut down on farming and improve the quality of these events, I think a simple solution would be to greatly increase the windows of when the events might spawn.

So take the Jormag for instance. Instead of spawning in a one hour window after three hours, have him (her?) spawn in a 4 hour window after 3 hours. If someone is really willing to sit around for four hours waiting for something to spawn, then I guess they deserve the loot…

This would make the events both rarer, and harder to predict. I know this won’t completely solve the farming issue, because I’m sure that players will adapt, but I think it could help alleviate the situation a bit, and hopefully make the events more fun to participate in.
