awesome aoe spot deepholm

There was a similar spot for WotLK - right in Sholazar by Freya there was a neverending respawn of undead. I wound up grinding out my last level on my DK there. That still works, too.

I don't think they'd take this away necessarily - it isn't allowing people to gain xp faster than they could by any other means (or, not significantly faster), the "risk" equals the "rewards" in that the mobs don't drop anything unusually lucrative, and there isn't some exploit people are using to avoid dying etc.

The other day I ground for an hour in a similar spot - I did a test with a potion of treasure finding and ground for an hour, and wound up getting about 1.25 million xp (rested) on a team of 5 level 83 characters, and did fairly well with regards to loot - no world drops, but my JC/Tailor was looting and I got 2 of the trinket quests and about 21-22 stacks of Embersilk cloth. Not a bad haul, but there are certainly faster and less grindy ways to do about the same.

I think they changed this spot right before Cataclysm launched. I used to grind this spot with my main pally team for gold and cloth. Read in I think 4.0 patch notes or hotfixes that they changed these to no longer drop any items. Too many people farmed this spot for gold. I disenchanted all the greens I found, but if I had sold them, I probably would have made double what I made from money drops and vendor trash alone. First attempt, goofed off a bit, netted me around 200g/hr, not selling greens. Would have been higher, but I used dust for Enchanters.
