Blizzard,
I've camped the darkmoon rabbit probably more than I should have since WoD came out. I was pleasantly surprised to find his spawn time reduced from maybe 1-2 days down to at least 6-8 hours (from what I personally have seen on my realm). Thank you for that.
When darkmoon rabbit groups form, you really get to see the evil in some players. I was in about 12 darkmoon rabbit groups for this week's faire. All of my rolls for the groups that played fairly were crap! Such is life.
I've had a few bad eggs from some of those raids. Ninja looters, booting from the raid at a low HP % from the raid leader/assists, the rabbit himself despawning during fight and to pop back up 4 minutes later to be tagged by another team, etc.
However, I had a new problem come up this week:
I found the rabbit on my realm, made a group to 5 man it, invited a really high ilvl tank/healer (700 to be exact), and the fun began.... He/she instantly dropped group while tagging the rabbit and began to SOLO the rabbit the entire fight. It left me and the raid members in transit without a tag. He was phased and belonged to another realm. This wasn't the first time he/she did it (I've seen group finder warnings for same person) and it won't be the last.
I ask that you PLEASE make the rabbit hit harder as so no one can solo this rabbit--otherwise what happened to me will continue to happen to other folks. Especially when 6.2 comes out and everyone gets closer to ilvl 700, we'll see many tanks do the same process.
Thank you.
Edit: updated title to say "Darkmoon Rabbit - exploit (ish)"
