Something needs to change in WOD

I'm getting tired of having to get to the well 20 minutes ahead of a dragon run just to get a slot in an instance that is actually doing the run. It is a sad state of affairs when a group of 20 can't even kill 1 or 2 of them in the allotted time. The work around seems to be stuffing 40 players into the instance. So you get to the well and wait the 2 minutes until you can change instances and THEN hope you can get an invite to a run before it fills up... I would love to hear an explanation as to how the developers ever thought this was a reasonable idea

    WOD is like 2 mods old now, they aren't "fixing" anything there. just move on, nothing good drops there anyway.

    The Dragon runs never had less than 30 to 40 participants.

    Well if you are pugging dragons... I hope they wont change CD on changing instances. There are zerg channels and they called instances for members: less pugs=less lags+more dps=more dragons killed. And now imagine maps without cd, zergs going to be flooded by pugs. We have enough pug stalkers already so no, thank you.

    yeah these dragons are boring, huge lumps of meat that dont do any damage

    they should reduce instance max to 10~20 players(hardcapped) and reduce dragon hp accordingly

    Pugs screwed. They will kill max 1-2 dragons with 20 low dps people. 1 dragon or wipe if acid draco for 10 :D I would rather see limit at 30 man, 40 is too much laggy.

    For your info, black dragon can wipe people easily. But if you play ridiculous OP then maybe you are right, dragons deal 0 damage to you.

    Would be nice if you start thinking about people, not just about something is boring or not. Dragons are only way to get AD/RP for many players. Not all spending whole day grinding nerfed peridots/pearls in IWD, not all farming rng-based dungeons. YOU dont have to spend any minute in WOD if you dont like to. But many PEOPLE enjoy dragons farm. Dragons with lower HP (but... they are dragons! shouldnt be low HP puppies) wont be much easier for people under 2k iL or instance with many non-damage dealers like tanks or clerics.

    I've done maybe two or three Heralds runs since Mod 6.

    But.. yeah. It's just no longer interesting.. especially the "hurry up and wait" aspect of it.

    There's actually nothing in WoD that I want or need any more. I'm not grinding out 80 Linu's Favors for a microscopic boost in whatever the last two boons give. I will run three quests there as directed by the Master of Coins in Strongholds when that comes out, but that's it.

    It's sad, really. WoD was one of my favorite maps. I enjoyed Tiamat before people figured out they could camp out and still get rewards. And I enjoyed the Heralds before it became a chore.

    I disagree. They keep fixing WOD, that seems to be the problem.

    they haven't done anything there since mod6 except the global 50%hp thing.
    look at dread ring, they f'ked up the zombies there with the 50% patch, 1000's of them spawn and they lag the whole zone, they won't be fixing that either. they don't care about old content, got it? just move on. nothing drops from dragons that you can't get from the AH for a few K

    Yeah. There used to be enough people in ALL instances to run the dragons. Before April.
