Cleoboltra's Epic Quest

[lfd]

I don't want to answer for Bolty, but I certainly share both his frustrations at one aspect of the quest design and his delight at others ;-)

I think it's daft that any priest failing the quest (or having it failed for them by griefers or people who just wander in not knowing what's going on) prevents anyone even attempting the quest for the next 2 hours.

It might have been fine when there were fewer people raiding molten core, but it really isn't that uncommon these days, and as more and more people obtain their eye, more and more people are going to be failing the quest preventing more and more people from even getting to try it unless they camp the NPC. And if one person is camping the NPC, then anyone else who wants to try will have to camp the NPC...

What would be better would be if failing the quest debuffed you for 2 hours or so, and make anyone with the debuff be unable to start the quest. That way you still keep the penalty of failure there, but it doesn't spoil it for anybody else; heaven help those who can only play at certain times of the day!
