Overall, the mood is rather negative, the long wait brings down the spirits. The problem is also that the event was running much faster on the PTR. Rare enemies appeared in minute intervals there.
Players are demanding improvements: However, there are also some good ideas on how the event could be easily improved. For example, needconfirmation suggests that the rare enemies should function just like in the warfront areas:
I don’t understand why they don’t just work like the warfront rares. Set their spawn timer to a few minutes, but you can only loot them once a week (or once a day for this event). What exactly is better about this [large bunch of players] making every rare spawn a huge lag fest?
What do you think of the event? Are you patiently waiting for the rare spawns, or is it too annoying for you?
Are you still unsure if Shadowlands is worth it? Then you should consider these 5 things before buying.

In WoW players have to wait a long time for the special enemies of the pre-event. This causes frustration. Players are demanding improvements.
In World of Warcraft, the pre-event for Shadowlands has started. Countless players are currently unleashing the zombie invasion, experiencing the cool cinematic with Nathanos or completing quests in Northrend. However, one aspect is greatly bothering the players, making the pre-event quite boring. There is a waiting time of 20 minutes between individual event bosses. This is extremely annoying.
What is the problem? In Icecrown, special rare mobs appear during the event. These are all bosses that players should already know from Wrath of the Lich King. The bosses drop different items, primarily twink gear and scourge stones for the event. The catch is: only one rare mob can be active at the same time. Once this one dies, a timer of 20 minutes starts before the next boss appears.
The second problem is that the bosses have a fixed rotation. A new boss appears every 20 minutes. Since there are 20 different rare mobs, a complete run takes about 6 hours and 40 minutes. Whoever misses the one rare boss they actually want – like Bronjahm for the 34-slot bag – has to wait almost 7 hours for another chance.
This is how the players are reacting: On the WoW Subreddit, the topic is already being discussed. Many players currently find the event too boring since they have to wait 19 minutes after each rare mob.

Kill the rare spawn – everyone flies to the next point = AFK for 19 minutes. This is not fun. No chance to do it on 3 or 4 twinks.

The fact that only one of the rares can be active at the same time is really strange. The game feels like a damn boring rollercoaster ride in Icecrown. Not a great world, not interesting… with a few small changes, this could be drastically improved.
