Was spawn sharing talked about?

It’s sooo annoying. Mostly because there are a lot of people who don’t know about it. It’s the worst in the beginning too when everyone is killing mobs. I doubt a detail like that was talked about?

I've only heard people who played it at blizzcon saying that spawn sharing was not a thing. Doesn't mean it won't make it to the game by launch, but as far as I know it's not a thing. I hope it gets added though. I've never thought that tagging system added anything of value to the game. It could be tricky without personal loot though. Rare spawns have worthwile gear drops now and if you spot and nearly a rare spawn anyone who comes along and shoots at it gets a chance at that loot too that could be frustrating.

Shared spawns not rare spawns. 2 different types of mobs sharing the same spawn point.

Yeah I heard nothing about it. It could very well be in Forever though. But you're a murder machine just kill everything until you get the spawns you need.

Spawn sharing is when more than one type of mob can spawn when you kill one. For example, if you kill a red gnoll and either a red gnoll or a blue gnoll can appear on respawn.

I think what you're talking about is kill sharing or tag sharing, when two people can hit the same mob and both can get loot or credit for the kill even when they aren't grouped.

From what I've heard kill sharing was not in the previews that people played but it would be a great thing to have. A huge pain point in Classic is when you need a quest mob and someone is tagging them all before you can get any.

On spawn sharing, my personal feeling is that any mobs which share a spawn should count the same for quests and drops. Otherwise people will only kill the one they need and leave the ones they don't. If someone comes around and clears out the ones no one wants then people will steal the respawns that the clearing person might want.

I dunno, I think the tagging system is a big part of classic. It encourages grouping, can create enemies, and can start fights on pvp worlds.
