I know, I don't know what i've done to get all this Karma, honestly!! It's getting silly now :-) You should all move to my server so I can help and pass it on a bit :D
I've never done any rein linking, it's just not reliable.
Like, I'm going to keep those reins in my bags for a while, I'm not thinking of selling them by all means, but they might become a present for someone so... if someone tries to link the reins they'll always show up as being looted as long as I carry seahorsey in my bags?

RAGE WARNING. The reins just started linking on my realm.... but NOBODY is admitting any knowledge of a kill. I don't know if he was skinnable; I'd been in my own camp spot for about 10 minutes (had stopped patrolling due to many campers), and then they were linking. Hoping it's just that silly unreliability of the reins : /

Been here since patch day bar one or two achievement bits, and slept two or three times. And then someone else has probably wandered along cluelessly and found it.

I just have to say, I ******* hate RNG, rare spawns and all this other crap. I like the idea of a seahorse, useable anywhere. I like having many mounts, and am a completionist. But anything RNG or rare just screws me over every time--and the amount of time I feel OBLIGATED to put into it isn't freaking healthy.

As I posted elsewhere:
I seriously hate RNG, rare spawns and everything else that makes folks like me wind up going without sleep >.< My own choice, I know, but god it doesn't feel like it lol.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, although I'm also sure there's a lot of folks out there who will say "Lol, just stop then." But when you're fed this chance-based-reward crap, it's like settling people into a freaking gambling addiction. I mean, I seriously set off the NPC scan drums just to hear it...

BLIZZ, stop with the retardedly rare stuff already. So much time wasted on TLPD, grey camel and now this, for just frustration : / UNHEALTHY concept lol.

/end rant >.>

I would just not think anything of the reins linking since from what I read with TLPD reins and all, its not a trust worthy thing and sme are saying it may even go through the battlegroup as well, so just keep searching and dont give up ^.^

Yeah I think the belief that linking the reins = item was found on the server is not reliable.

Yeah, the fact that it became linkable but I couldn't find either a body or anyone (among us campers) who had seen it on Horde *or* ally (and between of us we had 3/5 spawns covered + patrols)... fairly sure it's mostly pointless.

I keep getting various people whispering me telling me that "x mob will spawn at y o'clock," and that certain rares always spawn at certain times on our realm, or that the reins are completely reliable. These same people insist that TLPD and Aeonaxx spawn at certain times, despite them being only a *chance* to spawn in another rare's place. It's irritating having to explain over, and over, and over that this stuff is just wrong, and quite annoying when they simply disregard this and carry on with the explanation :roll: The price of talking to fellow campers, I guess.

It is frustrating. I've been trying on and off. I've talked to another camper who seemed nice enough but unsure of any info. Then I've deal with a druid who would just come sit on our spots.

What kills me is I've killed Poseidus before. :( I just doubt the GM would give me the reins for that.

No, no it doesn't. :( Especially not now that I see people from the biggest/progression guilds camping out there in groups.

I have yet to see him, and I'm not even sure he's been killed here even though the reins have been linked properly in chat.. A guildie recently spoke of several other unconfirmed spawn points, one near the Shimmering Grotto for instance.. Wowhead says nothing as far as I can tell, and I will take it with a grain of salt until further notice, but I wondered if anyone else has heard or seen anything?

I'm pretty sure they put him on par with the other 5 man Rare bosses. Since he now drops the mount and another BOE epic his timer is probably in the realm of 72 hours.

Quite a way to farm gold though, I've heard of reins actually selling for 100-150k, whereas its being listed in the 200+ range on alot of servers.

To think about it though in another light, he's probably on par with TLPD or Aeonaxx, the one problem is that you're not going to have (Vyragosa / That one bat) sightings that can give you a break for 6 hours

Has there been any server restarts on the EU realm since Wednesday? If not, Poseidus should spawn within the next two hours. *fingers crossed*

Have to admit the fact that I'm practically alone here makes me think I've gotten something wrong...

Poseidus has started to spawn on the EU servers again, according to a german wow site:

Here is his screenshot: http://www.elitepvpers.de/forum/members ... funden.jpg (not sure if it works for non-members)
