However, from a player perspective, this quest is quite time-consuming getting six updates for each group member; not to mention that the "knock this mob to X percent health" is a very unpopular mechanic to begin with. Therefore I did apply logic and recognize VERY quickly that knowing my fellow players, the majority of them will be very upset if this goes live without it being a group update and will soon be /raging on the forums. Therefore, to prevent you having to scrape it together last minute, I found that prehaps pointing it out earlier during the beta stage you could evaluate whether or not the quest was capable of this functionality ahead of time.My comment was poorly worded and I apoligize if it came off as rude. As a player, I highly dislike quests that don't give group updates, since they generally discourage grouping. I disgree with your assessment of this quest's difficulty, however, and feel that grouping may make it too easy to complete. It does not use the "knock mob to X%" mechanic as you've suggested, you just have to drag the NPC over the trap and then harvest the trap (you can then feign off the NPC if you don't wish to kill it). I've been able to complete this solo in about 5 minutes by trapping then killing the NPCs. With group updates, a full group could quite easily complete it in under 2 minutes. That said, if the quest feels too lengthy to you when grouping, it will do so to other players as well, so I've erred on the side of not making it annoying, and changed it to group updates. The 33% flightspeed bonus has been removed from the quest in any event, so there's nothing there to justify a minor quest like this taking up additional time.
