Nothing, just a time sink and some running around once you have the faction. Probably hundreds, but limited to one per character. People can stack up reapers of the dead though. However, once you use it, then it needs to be quested again. I really don't see people burning through these each week for Velious mobs and being able to recoup an entire raid's worth by the next raid.

Might the first week see a burn through of content? Sure. Same thing happened on Fippy/Vulak. People are prepared and ready and know where to go.

These issues will be lessened on a fresh server with proper timeline.

Exactly. However, no such server or plans for one exists.

If people want to spend their time farming Soulfires while Velious content is out, more power to them I say.
One of the problems with the emerging game play on p1999 is that you have all the time in the world to do stuff like this.

I'm not suggesting that it is necessarily a problem (or, if it is a problem that I have a solution for it) but the slow (and eventually) static nature of the server makes these types of things play out differently than they did on live.

I don't disagree with any of that. However, I view this from the PoV that the current server is basically an extended beta and once Velious is worked out a fresh server with proper timeline will be ready to go and have substantially automated patching/releases.

We'll see the real pros on on a fresh server with proper timeline.

I've tried to tell you people that things like manastones being removed from planes are different than item recharging and million damage paladin epic proc

But there's no listening

You're all talking about nerfing an item that is used to kill mobs with less people than the competition uses. Why make things harder for non-zerg guilds, especially when the mechanic you're speaking about nerfing was already proven to have happened post-p99 timeline?
