I didn't expect them to be.... just that Northrend is less populated than it used to be... therefore it *should* be more likely to spot a rare compared to the WotLK days when I camped them and every zone was highly populated with farmers and questers. People still quest there to level, and some people still camp things there like TLPD.... but Sholazar Basin in particular isn't farmed the way it used to be back when I tamed Loque, that was a nightmare (plus he counts towards an achievement and drops shiny loot making him a target for those farmers) ...I think I worded what I said incorrectly is all. I never expected spawn times to change, just that they would have a chance to be left alone a bit longer (More people spend time in Cata content nowadays)

I realize that now after re-reading your comment! XD Sleep deprivation, ahoy! I didn't mean to accuse you of anything, if that's how my comment came off to you. The interwebz needs different fonts to portray feelings I think.

You know, it's funny you should say that. I wanted the mount on Rhyela, so I said I'd run it til I got him. Well, as the number of runs kept climbing higher and higher, I began to feel more and more discouraged. Finally, around run 90-something, I told myself I was going to quit at 100. Sure enough, by run 100, he hadn't dropped.

Well, one night, no one was on and I was bored; so, mainly just for poops and giggles, I took Apollyon through there, only halfway paying attention. Wouldn't you know it, but on run 101 (no, not joking), the mount dropped.

offtopic - I did 256 runs for my deathcharger - no kidding, and I counted and logged what dropped etc.

Ontopic - GL Feralclaw! On KT Loque is up quite alot as the Basin always seems to be empty Try asking over general too - I know someone who got their Loque this way! A pally was mining when he spawned right next to him, so he /w my friend and she got him He even asked not to be paid Some ppl in WoW are still nice ^_^
