Default set respawn times/locations for highly contested targets

Why is this even a thing? On a server that is so overcrowded at the end game why make it this easy for a few people to lock down targets like minis in Hate? Set them to spawn at random times and let them spawn randomly at any of the mini spawn points so people don't just show up minutes before the spawn time and squat on the spawn location to kill them..locking out everyone else from the content...even when they are already clearing the damn zone.

Or even better just tie the spawns to random trash mobs so you have to actually clear the damn zone to get them to spawn. Killing a trash mob has some % chance to spawn a mini near where the mob died (or at the nearest mini spawn location or something). That would be closer to what was intended anyway. This whole locking down minis thing and cockblocking people from their epics then selling the MQ back to them for ludicrous sums of plat is ridiculous.

You want/need a mini you should have to clear the zone or join a raid/group that is clearing the zone. The game shouldn't cater to people who just want to MQ all items they can get their greedy mitts on.

I knew that comment was coming. It may not be technically classic but the end result is more classic. Lots of things are different here than live in an attempt to recreate a classic experience.

Not being able to get fear golems wasn't a thing in classic for a guild much smaller than the one I am currently in...

Theses noobs trying to stop my classic immersion xD

As it stands currently most are 16 hour Windows. 3 to 7 day spawns.

Long ago the windows used to be 96 hours.... would of loved to see your post in kunark with the extended Windows. We would get like one sev every two weeks. As it stands now is the best it's been.

Or you can just do exactly the same thing they do and get the timers and log in to kill the minis. The quest item you're talking about is also extremely rare.
