I know that we can't put a timer up for bosses as that would just cause a bigger problem, but can we at least increase the drop rate for Manon's cry, or the spawn rate of Manon, or even a mini dungeon for bishops that are doing the 4th job quest for genesis only and they only get 1 entry per day, and maybe this Manon would only drop the cry and nothing else, to prevent people from just abusing this. Please find some fix for this, its ridiculous.
There has actually been a discussion about this around 2 weeks ago. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/manon-hoarding-camping-excessive-killing.56656/
Imo, I think there's no problem with it. You can always wait for server check and hunt it or just camp it. Sometimes I do even camp in manon if I'm running low in elixir.
People who need it badly enough will camp for it. I don't see why people who need genesis should get special priority for manon cry's when everyone else has to do the work of getting on during sc, camp maps, keep track of timers. In other words, there's really no reason to give preferential treatment in my opinion. Everyone has the opportunity and the ability to camp a manon. It all depends on luck and your perseverance. If you are patient enough, you will find one. If you look for a bit then give up, the person who camps 4-6 hrs to find one will probably get it instead of you.
Agreed with Eugene and Jeen, I don't think it's much of an issue, the people who are finding it have no advantage over you, they might just be trying harder. If it's killing manon as a bishop that you're struggling with there are also plenty of people who are happy to help you kill it in game. Best of luck to you!
I don't see why people complain about manon hunting here, it's about as nostalgic as it gets. I remember camping MM and ZMM with guildies for hours. We'd see other groups hunting for them and fight over maps, those were good times. One time we were sitting in the bottom of the map and MM spawned on top of me, killing me almost instantly because I hadn't kept my MG up. Bottom line, it's a nostalgic aspect of a nostalgic server.
I'll tell you my experience with the Genesis quest: I had to camp at Manon for about 2 days before I could find one, which didn't even drop it's cry (I was only able to find another one a few hours later). I don't find it nostalgic. I don't find fun. I find it exhusting and time consuming, and I probably could've done something better instead. But that's just my personal opinion and preference. If it wasn't for my main which had 2 extra Dragon Elixirs (is that how you call them?) I'd have bad luck trying to find another one and probably wait for another 2 days or more. Again, if you can do it and you find joyful or something then I'm happy for you, but I really don't. As for right now, I think the most suitable solution is what Matt had come up with: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/manon-hoarding-camping-excessive-killing.56656/page-2#post-301838
