people do spawn then stop leaving it with no motivation for anyone to finish simply delay egg drops until champion dies will fix
Yea the Dev team was put in a bit of a hard spot here. Initially people weren't helping to clear the first couple levels of spawn and only coming once the boss was up to get a drop so the Devs made it to where you need to kill spawn on levels (maybe 1) 2-4 to get a drop when killing the boss. I've gotten to the spawn at level 3 and just turn around due to that because it's 10-20min I spend playing for nothing (doesn't even factor in 30min restart time etc).Agree, the boss is not soloable by many, and it can be hard on some shards to find help. That's why I don't think the rewards should only happen when the boss dies.
I mentioned being able to turn the drop in for event points, but you mentioned that the boots don't drop if you miss the spawn levels; that's a good point, and even more of a reason for people to not want to 'cleanup' after someone else ran the spawn and left the boss behind. I think we both agree that there needs to be a worthwhile reward to incentivize killing the boss (knowing you likely won't get a drop). Maybe better loot is the answer.

This spawn was purposely changed to only drop 10 eggs. You are on Atlantic where players are still doing the spawn.The way I see it is that eggs should drop at all levels of spawn participation and the boots should drop on the boss if present and contributing for all levels. Perhaps just me, but I'm more interested in doing the spawn than chasing vorpal bunnies.
Currently, the spawn gets run in the morning for shards not named Atlantic, the 10 eggs are dropped, and then that's all she wrote for the rest of the day.I doubt there are any other shards where players are still doing the spawn regularly. Other shards you either do it alone or have to beg in chat for others to join. The problem is, if others join they will get nothing because the spawn already dropped the 10 eggs and you can not get boots from the Boss since the spawn was already started by others.
Agreed. Personally I will not stick around for the spawn if it's past level 1 because there is a good chance I will not get anything from it (ie I just wasted 30-60min and equipment durb loss for zilch). The single item that I get from the corpse loot isn't even worth picking up to throw in the trash.The problem is that there needs to be a reward for those that finish the spawn/boss knowing that the eggs are gone,
I can solo or need just one other player to do most other spawns maybe tone down these bosses?This spawn was purposely changed to only drop 10 eggs. You are on Atlantic where players are still doing the spawn.
(They were a few days ago, I did 2 while waiting to transfer away)

So, not only do you have to do the current spawn for nothing, you have to wait 30 mins to do one where you can get something, and hope others will help you.
A dilemma for the Devs. The players already wanted the old way changed where you at least got the Boss drop no matter when you joined the spawn.
No matter what method they use, players will stop doing the spawn in a few weeks because they have a bunch of everything. Then a Casual player or one living under a rock wants to do the spawn for the first time.
Would be nice if they could scale the HP based on however many people are within the spawn.I can solo or need just one other player to do most other spawns maybe tone down these bosses?
Agreed. With a small group, taking down the boss can take considerable amount of time (30+ minutes). Understandable that some of the smaller shards that don't have the casual passerby players would probably give up on this if it's taking that long. I can appreciate a challenge, but this is just a grind.Would be nice if they could scale the HP based on however many people are within the spawn.
