<p>Sorry, don't complain but having the second batch of shinnies spawn at same loation as others and so rare is just LAME.</p><p>Total lack of effort on developers part. </p><p>Loads of players running around like the monkeys there jumping same spawn.</p><p>Boy thats fun and worth paying for .../rolls eyes!!</p><p>Little effort SOE would go along way.</p>

<p>How do you figure "tiny" to complete the collection you need em all. The only why to do that is to run around like an idiot or stand in one spot.</p><p>Not game breaking but again just total lack of effort or thought.</p>

<p>Wait 3-4 days until most have rushed to finish the shiny collection then do it at your leisure , it's not rocket science.</p>

<p>Since the purple shinies are remaining in after the live event ends, you have plenty of time to wait for people to stop being idiots and then go back and get them when it's nice and calm.</p>

<p>Yeah, it is pretty lame that the shinies keep popping in the exact same locations over and over, resulting in people camping these spots 24/7 since part 2 started. Why not have them just pop at random locations all over the dig site?</p><p>As others have said tho, the good part is that the shinies are remaining as a permanent part of the game, so you don't have to get into that nonsense unless you are so motivated. Personally, standing in one spot for several minutes to see if I can grab the next shiny that pops before the guy standing next to me grabs it is not my idea of fun, either. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/1cfd6e2a9a2c0cf8e74b49b35e2e46c7.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>How about not do the collection then? It's not like it gives you anything good anyways.</p>

This of course assumes you have the helm to see them.</p>

<p>If I recall correctly, people were complaining about too many people being in Everfrost when the new content there was released as well. I waited about two weeks before I even started that quest series and there was no one around. Go to Everfrost now and you will see a few people here and there but certainly not enough people to cause 'problems'.</p><p>If Everfrost is any indication, in about two weeks there will be less people hunting the shiny items and you won't have problems. So just wait it out and do other quests or continue on and deal with the crowds.The other option is to simply not do the quests but that's not really a solution.</p><p>It's always going to happen. New content is released and people will flock to those areas.</p><p>The same thing happened when adventure packs were released. Mara was so crowded you could barely move. But as people got quests completed, the crowds thinned out. I still go there now to do pebble quests and I am totally surprised to see anyone there besides myself now. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
