Has anyone else noticed that Rares no longer seem to spawn here?
Feels like a shell of its former self. They changed the ways rares spawn in this zone specifically so now you'll almost never see them unless you afk in the zone for hours, that is if you don't get moved to a new shard every so often which will reset your wait time.
