The problem with the timed quest is known - not enough mobs around.
I am talking about an untimed one now, “Dangerous Throneweaver”, where you have to get 12 Sakmoli Stems.
I am pretty much the only person here, it’s been a while since I saw another player. I am hopping through all 3 channels… and there are just no Sakmoli’s around.
In the 20(?) minutes I’ve spent I managed to get a few of 12 required. This is without other people, mind you.
The respawn is totally broken.
