Diablo

I have been thinking about this quite a bit today.

Why do people put up with and actively seek out world boss timers? It seems to me like a mechanic that I would only engage with (world bosses) if I happen to be online and notice one while I have my map open.

I have read a thread over on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/1595555/i_have_played_25_hours_of_season_1_and_have_yet/

And a lot of posters seem to be tracking and scheduling their real life around these timers and spawns.

Do people like this kind of thing in their games? If not, why do they do it?

I can’t imagine anyone enjoying having to do this, and I would think the only reason it’s in the game is because people begrudgingly do it, and fall into this behavioral domination where they plan real life around a video game timer.

This is extremely intrusive to me, and I wholly reject it and refuse to participate in tracking spawn times. Wouldn’t the devs change this if no one interacted with it?

Why do you (or don’t you) track world boss spawn times?
