World of Warcraft: For The First Time, Noblegarden Was Fun

It’s a bit cliché to say that I haven’t participated in a World of Warcraft world event ever since I completed What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been, but it is mostly true. I’ve gone back briefly here and there when I want something new, mainly when it involves corgis. However,Noblegarden is one event I really haven’t gone back to despite the addition of a few things I wanted over the years. A huge reason for this was how painful collecting the eggs was when I worked on the meta-achievement.

The old only one person could loot the eggs thing was terrible. It was either people mad dashing all over the place trying desperately to click the eggs first or people camping out in one spot. I found a nice spot where I could camp four egg spawns and get them as soon as they spawned without moving. It was incredibly efficient but exemplified my least enjoyed type of content. When I play games, I want to do things. Standing around doing nothing so I can click on an egg every few minutes is incredibly boring. I don’t have the patience for that.

With the recent change to allow multiple people to loot the eggs before they despawn, running around looking for them felt like a much more reliable way to go about things. I was also quite amused to see all the other players running around collecting them as well, and it was a fun social event. Over the few days in WoW, while I worked on getting enough chocolate to buy everything I didn’t already have, I also saw many new players trying out the event as well. Since no one was a threat to each other, we could chill and help each other out. It’s honestly the first time the event has ever felt fun for me. So that was a welcome surprise.

Unfortunately, anytime people are having fun; other people have
