NPC Spawn Issue: Stronghorn & Tantor

[Ciroco]

The amount of ice burrowers up right now is ridiculous. Never remember seeing more than a few on track at a time.

tantor is spawning to rare and not dropping tusk at classic rate.

/this x100

we went there, two druids, and tried to find something to charm to start killing wurms , after an hour of running around finding a total of one wolf during that hour we left the zone.
The zone has turned into a Second TT Zone with just a few types of mobs in it.

someone needs to take a look at the random spawn code and add "if number of x mob in zone isn't = 10 then next spawn should be x" or something..
and do this for all pathing mobs.

Or just make Burrowers/Drakes/Wyverns one spawn set and the animals another.

I did find a post from Luclin era Allakhazam that supports everything being on the same table:

CoV critters are mammal placeholders. Eventuallly everything in the zone goes to reptile if cragwyrms, drakes, and wyverns arent thinned out. A guide suggested I do a feedback report, to separate the spawns between mammals and CoV critters. Perhaps if a lot of us did, the zone would be huntable allthe time.

So maybe it's working as intended? It's possible the live server usage of the zone dynamic was different than on p99
