Most old world bosses die 1 min after they pop. I don't know who's doing it, but people must have them timed and on lockdown because I've very rarely seen them up. Maybe I've just been unlucky. This is on the FV server where pretty much everything is tradable so there's a market for the loot still, particularly as old world gear has no level requirements so its good for twinks. Or maybe its fuelling the secondary market so real life cash is involved. I dunno.

Last week was different. I was running through Kael to get something for an alt, and Vindi was up. Never seen that before. I killed him and his 2 protectors, fight took about 10 mins. He dropped the bp.

Kael was empty, nobody else here but me so I made my way to Tormax's room. He wasn't up, but I was just goofing around anyway, so I started killing stuff in the room. I turned around and all of a sudden there was someone sitting on the throne, who definitely wasn't there when I came in. Dude came out of nowhere. I said hi and tried to strike up a conversation being friendly and all but the guy just ignored me. Undeterred, and realising just my presence here was messing with his plans, I kept on talking. After 10 mins I thanked him for being such a good listener and left.

By the time I left Live, it was infested with bots permacamping a lot of the old world bosses. They ran on timers. They would pop in just before a spawn, kill and loot and pop out again. Always parked right on top of the spawn point so even if you were there first, you couldn't pull agro.
