Can world bosses get a little more love?

Once most people clear, have titlet or have glamor they won't really do it unless there's a shout and they are willing to help. Maybe if they gave a special bonus to relic light farming or item for it would be nice as an incentive. These light grinds are awful and always looking for a nice bonus to them.

The one in the Forelands with the giant spikey turtle in the crater Is amazing fun. Shame the only time I've seen it done is when the luminous crystal stage of the anima was released.

Darkscale is the same, it was the equivilent to Svara 3.0, and was an extremely popular and fun fate. Empty wasteland now though.

If there is one thing we have learned it is that the community is masochistic enough to farm RNG prizes because it at least gives them something to do, while they complain about how RNG sucks.

Have the world bosses give a drop for at least a silver or gold ranking in the fate. Turn the drop in for a random voucher that can be redeemed for prizes. They can even take some RNG out of the equation by letting you trade some of one voucher for another. Give something worth while for the rarest, like minions, maybe a mount, and unique glamour or housing items you cant get else where.

I want to do the proto ultima fate at least once, but unfortunately I don't have the time to camp the map several days in a row in hopes that I catch the spawn. Time limitations is a huge factor in this because the majority of the population has work or school, so getting people who have already received everything they want from these world bosses to be interested in them again is important.

Have the world bosses give tomes/some piece of relevant gear once a week. Have them spawn more often, you get nothing if you've cleared it already for a given week.

On a related note, almost every MMO I can think of does world bosses better than XIV sadly.

Including SE's previous title, FFXI. Come to think of it, that IS really sad.

Coeurlregina and Prey Online suffer heavily from lack of notice. Coeurlregina requires someone be in the Forelands and notice+report the Royal Levin weather. Prey Online requires someone notice the 5 min long Hyperelectricity weather in Azys Llya. Both of them are easily missed because people are not in zone when they spawn.

The 36 hour on a clear/18 hour on a failure respawn timers are not bad. It is just stupidly easy to miss a spawn.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or you are absolutely blind.
You know the content is pretty much that, right? like, there isn't anything else to do since everything in this game is RNG.

And again the only solution to this is fix the bosses to spawn in a set hour, multiple times a day, or once everyday but in different hours, but always the same for that day, so atleast people have a chance to even discover that content exists.

Yes, there is a level of sarcasm there, because I don't like RNG, but I understand why they use it. RNG is used often in games to help prolong content because people usually don't bother to continue content once they get what they want. It isn't about fun if there isn't a rewarded. Adding spawn timers would help, but that won't bring back people who have gotten what they want from the rewards. There are a lot of things in this game that aren't RNG but a lot of people don't use them because they have gotten what they want, only do the RNG versions with a weekly lockout to get the same reward, aren't interested in it because they don't find it fun, or it requires a grind they either don't have time for or don't want to put effort into. With world bosses there isn't a whole lot they can do to keep people interested unless they introduce new rewards that take a while to get.

Supposedly they nerfed the timers on all 4 fates in 3.5. Anyone know by how much?
