So guys…

If you pay attention to every other world quest in BFA that isn’t on the meta, you’ll notice they all spawn much more frequently.

They intentionally make the ones that are required for the meta pop up maybe once a month. Blizzards decisions have made me quite infuriated over that last couple years.

The problem with these world quests is, is that if you’re out of town or working, etc. and can’t make it in time for the world quest you have to wait another month or two. AND THEY KNOW THIS.

Not to mention the timed world quests and the fact that you only get one shot and if you fail you’re left trying to do it on other characters if you have any.

The whole thing just feels so wonky to me.

Hopefully I’m not the only one that’s been frustrated with a bunch of the decisions they have been making for us collectors.

Objectives

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
