So I understand the long timer and large window on Ixion's fate spawn. I don't complain about these nor the fact that you have to camp this large window on servers like mine in order to successfully get ixion horns for the mount, otherwise the zone fills up and becomes congested preventing you from even getting in, and if you do manage to get in, you'll only make it in time to see him die, because early pulls are going to happen.
I understand that's how things simply are right now and it doesn't really bother me, just makes my own achievement feel a little bit better.
But when ixion is on 36-72 hour window, and I dedicate my day off to camping this window, only to have a last minute change in maintenance that cuts his window at the 66th hour and we never see him spawn, I feel justifiably salty.
Especially since I'm probably going to miss his next couple spawns due to a busy work schedule, and my next day off probably won't fall so neatly within his spawn window.
Now I'm not going to ask for a change to the game, a shorter window, more frequent pops, etc.
None of that. My busy personal life isn't justification for game alterations, and I prefer these types of rewards with difficult and/or time consuming requirements so I get to show off a little once I achieve it.
What I WILL ask for is that the few rare chances I DO have to work towards goals like this not be taken from me so arbitrarily.
