a velium hound (West Wastes)

[Byrjun]

Again, not a bug but something to bring up for discussion.

When I was doing my shawl on live, the velium hound fur was maybe the most frustrating item to collect. I would run around west wastes for hours and maybe only find one hound up. I ended up having to buy all the fur for the quest, and the going price of 1k each also suggested that this was a pretty rare item.

On P99, velium hounds are everywhere. No problem finding them just by running around a bit.

So the question is, are the hounds too common on P99, or was it just a case of everyone killing them on live for the fur and respawning them as other stuff that didn't get killed as much (like mammoths)?

This may be completely irrelevant since I don't think the velium hound fur is used until the last shawl which is Luclin era, but it's just one thing I've noticed as a bit off. The beta server is getting pretty solid so I guess it's time for nit picking.
