Before this new MOD I used to run around doing these when I had nothing left to do usually one after another. NOW I'm lucky see see one pop up on my map in 20 minutes in places like the drowned shore or firey pit. You put new artifact quests in these and reduce it by what seems to be 99% and think people will waste trade bars on the booster? I've tried changing instances and just waiting around for an hour (saw at max 3 of them). Please put them back to what they used to be.

    They've always been on a timer...now that ppl are farming them, they disappear fast so they don't seem like they are around as much

    Yea, they didn't take any HE's away period. The HE's are now just getting destroyed very quickly by people farming motes. Before the MOD was released there were constantly like 3-4 HE's up at all times because literally no one cared about doing them, only cared about leveling.

    Why not go do the HE's scattered in other places around the game? There are better places to farm than those. :p

    They should appear on the map as soon as they start then I think, I would have the map up for 10 minutes waiting for something to appear and nothing does and I don't see many people around the map so that's what i thought happened. I go to the lowest populated instance when possible less than 5 people. And I do the drowned shore because the weapon I chose to get motes for is there only. I might wait a few weeks or figure out what time is the best where most people are offline.

    As a new player sounds like something I would've enjoyed before they lessened it. ;)

    They did remove minor heroics in drowned shore (elemental cup one on the beach by crabs) and also in fiery pit (cultist killing in mid map). I haven't been to air or earth zones after this last mod dropped, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same there as well. The fact that people with wands are running around doing them as well also doesn't help.

    Yeah, in spite of claims made in this thread that none were removed and it is just busy, there are 4 missing from Drowned shores. Fountain of Fear (the one that was by Crabs), Ranger Rescue, Cultist Ambush that was near Merchants in distress, and Pillaging the Pillagers. I've been watching since Underdark released and never have seen any of these 4 spawn.

    They lowered them, some most people farmed them for the refinement stones, and it's no coincidence that the removal of wards and rubies from the trade bar store happened with the same patch that reduced the HEs from EE zones, don't think it had anything to do with the motes

    Same. Tried doing it with the Earth motes and half the time the HE's weren't dropping them
