== Content ==
			
Wildstar is only a few months old. Every time I wait for Scorch to appear I have to wait usually over an hour or more for there to be enough people to kill him.
 
There is something wrong with this picture! I shouldn't have to wait that long to get enough people to kill him especially with how new Wildstar is! 
 
My server is dying and it's very frustrating that it seems that nothing is being done about this!
 
I do not normally complain on the forums, but with Scorch or the long wait for trying to get into adventure/dungeons has been very frustrating.

			it's why I unsubbed. I was already spending close to an hour doing dailies, don't need to over double that waiting an hour+ for a scorchwing group to form and kill him. there was absolutely no reason to buff him, he gives shit gold, shit rewards. He used to be killed shortly after spawning every time, now there's stretches of 8+ hours where he goes unkilled

Only over 1 hour? amatuer...
 
 
Seriously though, it's finally goten to me. This isn't exclusive to Thunderfoot, but also happens on Evindra as well. I wouldn't be as frustrated if there were more reputation opportunities than the 3 daily reps you get, but its all we have once you clear the zone and then it turns into this mind-numbing process.
 
Of the 3 Scorchwing is the only reliable one to get and as you said when it spawns you're sitting there for way too long just to kill this thing. it got worst after the change when they beefed it up, because at least then you didn't need a full group. However it also came at a time when people started hitting and or were close to max reputation so the number of people that needed it died down. The fight itself is just extremely boring too that 60 second bit of immunity I just literally sit there and go through my phone till it's over lol
 
Elyona is a pain in the ass on Evindra. Unless you're lucky to catch a Dominion group doing Scorchwing a lot of people still don't know about this daily and calling out in zone, circles, etc tends to yield no takers. You can only do this with a guild group if they're not busy and luckily ive got friends who will help me.
 
HOWEVER to add on top of the elyona issue is that if both Dominion and Exile attack Elyona no one gets the daily drop. I tried 3 times in a row last night and could not get her to drop it because it was one of those days when frustratingly enough i couldnt get help(go figure im less than 1k away from finally being done). I went in the first two times with a group but a few exiles ran in after we tagged it and nothing dropped for anyone in our group twice. The group disbanded and i stayed...Exiles came with a raid and i figured id try a 3rd time and hitch off them, but NOPE sitll got nothing.
 
Tree event is in itself inconsistent with quest rewarding. Some say you need to be in a group other say you don't but regardless it's off and on. Some days I get credit for my quest some days I don't even though I have sometimes the most contribution....
 
 
I just can't wait to be done with this reputation hopefully tonight...never coming back...

The problem isn't necessarily population. There becomes a point where players just don't need to do it anymore. Once you've capped or become bored of it the numbers drop off significantly. Look at the R12 event. Before the Strain patch the R12 event was the thing to do, now you're lucky if you even have a group to do it with. The problem with these events isn't the population being too small, it's the population not wanting to do them because the reward is negligible.
 
Imagine a world boss that dropped elder gems passed cap, that broskie would be camped on respawn for all hours of the day.

			Who would do that noise for more than the month required to get the reputation?!  You have to do it daily... that's bound to make plenty uninterested in it once they get what they needed.

My guild already moved and me being a dumbass stayed with a couple friends, Dominion on Pago here. We were like nah Carbine is definitely going to merge soon. Yeah......
 
 
we ain't doing nothing ether.

Scorch is up for at least 6 solid, uninterrupted hours on Mikros every day as well.  1-2 hours of which is me trying to get 10 people.  10 people.  Because the Doms usually get 10 in about the same time.
 
So 2 hours of spamming on both sides of the faction fence to get 20 people to down 1 bird.
 
At least it cuts down on the /z is scorch up? spam.. cause everyone knows she is.

Would it be better if you didn't have to WAIT for a world boss to spawn, like it's an mysterious, organic part of the server's life or would it be better if you had to just click a button and have a vending machine poop out your world boss the exact moment you want it? I think this 'not having to wait' attitude is conducive for the hardcore raid mentality we were trying to have prosper.
 
And there's pvp around world bosses, which sucks?
 
Man I wish all the fun was sucked away so you morons could see what a boring, bland, rote game you would create if this "I don't want to do any work, for accomplishment" attitude actually affected the game somehow.
 
edit: oops, I misread OP. Carry on.

Oh wait....

Yeh, I don't need a vending machine to make the boss appear.
 
I need a vending machine to make players appear.

Some of you guys aren't getting the point.....
 
It's the lack of population on some of our servers! Our servers are DEAD and Carbine NEEDS to do something about it very soon!

			Recruit a scientist if you aren't one and have someone shout for group in Thayd/Illium. Fills groups super fast every time.

I would totally understand that if the content was 6 months old. But Scorch came out just over a month ago and it's already this dead? That's not right imo.
 
And how else am I supposed to get rep out there? They really borked that.
 
 
And another complaint since I am in Illium.... the teleporters are NEVER up anymore!!!! qq

My Steam library has topped 400 games.  I have other online games to play.  I have other games that I can pay for.  I can read books or watch TV.  Hell, I have more than a couple Steam games that I never even installed.
 
I do not want to be bored.  I am bored when I am selling my time for money, to pay for all my leisure activities.  I do not want to be bored during that hard-won time as well.
 
That right there is the crux.  I don't pay money to sit around waiting.  Sitting on my butt chatting in player housing is fine, but being forced to sit on my bum waiting for a bird?  Nah.  That's why I look at my games shortcuts and pick things other than Wildstar.
 
Farside ALREADY FIXED THIS PROBLEM as well!  Carbine fixed the issue, and then apparently forgot.  Have a Scorch thing pop up in the UI, so everyone in the zone can teleport in.  Scorch gets an appropriate amount of HP for the crowd, and then the game drops everyone back.  (Bonus points if you drop them back at the point of origin, and put up a teleport to Grimvault quest area as an alternative.)  Have the Scorch spawn timer be more frequent, and have it avoid times that the tree is active, firing a minute or so after the tree ends once Scorch is up ready.

			I'd wager it has......way more to do with the fact that the servers are super empty. Like way empty. I still don't understand the weird arcane logic that permits some people to continue saying "Guys population is fine, its completely normal to see everything super empty all the time. Everyone is in their house. Houses are cool."

Malfean,
 
Caretaker - Always people about, have never felt even remotely alone in any zone I've been in. There is always someone within eye-shot, Thayd actually lags me when I load in while the game populates all the players. Running GotG has at least 40 if not more like 80 to 100 people running it at 9 EDT. My server always says low pop, but is always full of people. So you might feel that way, but the facts say different.

Part of the problem is that they decided to seperate the main Daily zones and the zone that contains Scorchwing. I grew tired of hanging around the Scorchwing zone waiting on it to pop, its no fun waiting upto an hour and a half for it to appear.
 
As there is very little to do in the zone, I no longer goto it. the Tree event is very rarely done, it only seemed to happen after Scorchwing was done if you are lucky.
 
I don't see why they couldn't have added Daily quests to the level 50 zones instead of having seperate ones like Crimson or Northern wastes, that way there would generally always be a decent amount of people to do Scorchwing and the tree event. So when they add in a next level 50 zone, with presumably another event/boss add in a host of Daily quests so people are more inclined to go there.

Thunderfoot have plenty of players on the Exile side. I guess you are on the Dominion side?
 
Anyway this server is far from dead. It is more about population imbalance
