"The Maw is absolute dog@#$% and players hate going there, so we will make the easy daily quests even MORE difficult. That will be what brings players back to the Maw!" - Blizzard probably
This ongoing "back to classic" mentality (since the zero-effort Vale/Uldum patch for BfA) is getting to be an absolute joke now. What's next - are the "souls" going to be a "fight amongst yourselves, first come first served" thing too next?What on earth does Blizzard think this is going to achieve?I know what it'll achieve for me in this case - I'll just not do that quest. I don't care about sockets anyway, I'll get Ven'ari rep when the Eye goes away and mounting is allowed, and in the meantime, the Maw will continue to be a place I avoid the hell out of aside from the 5 minutes every reset running between two spawn points right-clicking "souls" because apparently that's rewarding gameplay these days.When they inevitably nerf souls to be a one-per-player thing, I'll be outta that as well.But hey, classic, right?
What is point of this change outside of pissing players off? Same with anima corns in Ardenweld moth wq...
This is one of the dumbest changes ever. Who ever came up with this idea deserves to be fired.
This is a horrible change, the animacones quest in Ardenweald suffered the same fate. It's making world quests very slow and they should not be very time consuming tasks.Very poor decision on Blizzard's part..
This makes zero sense, and it not very clever.Every quest should be doable within a reasonable time parameter, surely. This change widens the potential time parameters by a HUGE amount. Also it encourages sneaky and toxic behaviour when people ninja items while you’re fighting the mob near it.It’s bad on every front.If you want the quest to take longer, put fewer ingots down and space them out more. That way you can make it take longer, but you don’t have such an extreme difference between the time it takes, and you don’t reward people for being ninjas and you don’t penalise players who are honourable. Same deal for the moth animacones!I wish I could be on the team call where this type of change is discussed. Argh.
Another reason to avoid even more The Maw.
Who asked for this?
Cool, was already NOT doing this. Time to not do it even more
Another thing to add on the list to avoid the maw. Nice
Meanwhile monk literally has more bugs than abilities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Another productive day at Blizzard
What is the thought behind this decision to make the unfun content in the maw even more unfun?
Oh great, let's encourage more toxic gameplay by having to fight over quest items. I'm on a high pop server, unlikely I'll ever get these done now. Thanks Blizzard.
WHY ?
More reasons to not even go to The Maw xD
Imagine thinking the Maw needed to be made more tedious.

I noticed this same thing. Hope it's a bug. I generally don't mind The Maw but this is a ridiculous change and I will probably just skip this quest going forward.
instead of fixing the damn rodent removal quest so that the rats can't be ninjaed we get this nerf..
