VD is an absolute shit show and the people who think you just set it and forget it to get the drop, like some as seen on TV countertop induction oven... haven't got a clue as to what is going on there now days.
The meta is essentially to stand there on your melee or with a charmed pet and wait for spawn, for the whole window if needed. A person sitting on a watcher waiting to camp over and charm / return to FTE is almost never going to get it anymore unless it spawns very early in window. Then there is the occasional person who strolls in and gets the spawn within an hour of arrival. They would say it's not so bad and others are just whiners. It needs to be fixed.
How much proof do the GMs need in order to revisit this spawn timer and stop the soul drain going on at VD?
