There seems to be few problems with the snowmen event in the wintergrasp that we have been experiencing so far.
There is too many snowmen: They interfere with WG Battle, making it almost impossible to take control of the keep when snowmen are destroying most players with 1 attack, vehicles with few, making the defending faction even more powerful, just afkin inside keep while snowmen destroy the opposition. Also completing weekly quest objectives in WG is a pain, snowmen interfere with it, players dont stand a chance against these snow abomanations. Also there is always that one guy that casts frost spells intentionally to blackmail spots to full raid groups or generally wanting to be ******* to heal the snowmen to full health.
How to possibly fix this: remove snowmen on ground floors completely and add them to top of buildings (WG has ton of those) this way they do not interfere with WG battle or questing cause you need flying mount to reach them most of the time. And remove their frost damage healing, make them immune to frost spells instead.
Last year when they first brought Snowmen event in, the wintergrasp wasn't scripted and it didn't really interfere with the wintergrasp battle. I think this has to be taken into consideration as it is now working.
This event HAS to be fixed and FAST. It's extremely detrimental to the server. We're going to see the prices of gems, crafts, orbs etc. go down very fast. On top of that every single person on the server will essentially get free full tier 9 for zero effort, kind of battles against the realm design if you ask me.
The snowmen and the Cow Level are a commodity that will only happen for a special occasion as a token and a gift to the players. As you can see the emblems specifically have a lower drop chance and they won't mean much when the next tier hits. No gold is dropping whatsoever so the economy won't have any injection. It's roughly the same difficulty as running a daily heroic every day but just expedited a bit to make it fun for the holidays.
The next tier is around the corner so take in the fun while you can.
It's a fun little thing that will last for a week and some and then it will be turned off. From the looks of it, a lot of people are enjoying it.
Of course people are 'enjoying' it, when you can farm hundreds (!) of EoT in a few hours and deck yourself out in full T9 and emblem accessories with minimal effort. Being able to grind out currency that is gated by raid lockouts and only available otherwise through dailys and a single heroic instance. When people can buy crusader orbs and epic gems en mass and destroy any sort of prices around those items. Whats the point of giving us a ToC buffed by 300% as well as the other raid content when you have funserver stuff like this.
Didn't seem to think this through much, they would drop EoC if anything.
Cow level on lord feels extremely demotivating, since you can not kill the boss and reset instance trash infinite amount of times (so you can farm it 24/7).
So if you put in effort raiding everything, doing daily, toc hc - your efforts are now worthless. On top of that, you are forced to farm this holiday event trash or you are put into disadvantageous position... #feelsbadman

Already fixed, will be applied on next restart. Chance was lowered so it should not matter at this point.
