They're obviously supposed to be completed in one day since that's been the case since day one and they went as far to hotfix it so you didn't have to wait 4 days to do it. No Kirin Tor dailies even came up today, so if we got unlucky, we wouldn't even be able to complete it.
I mean, yea they all have been completable in one day before, but my question is why is it a big deal if one isn't? They don't go anywhere. If no Kirin Tor quest popped for 50 days then 2 more did, you would technically still be able to complete this emissary as long as you never went more than 2 days without doing your other ones. If you wait too long, you lose your single chest and 1500 rep. That would be stupid, but again it just confuses me that people are legit furious about this (not in this thread, mostly on WoW forums, MMO champ or reddit. I guess the fury is what I don't understand.
I mean, the whole point of the emissary quests is to allow that sort of flexible play, right? Daily quests that you don't have to log in to do daily. I know that's how I approach it.
Mad might be a stretch, but I can understand annoyance. Actually have a friend who is in the exact hypothetical you mentioned and won't be able to turn these in. He isn't mad, but he was definitely annoyed that he wasn't able to complete it.
Of course, we now know that more Kirin Tor quests probably weren't going to pop anyway (at least to the level Blizzard was comfortable with), hence the hot fix.
Yea, I definitely understand annoyed, I was more talking about some of the vitriol being spewed on the WoW forums about incompetent devs that are retarded and should kill themselves over this absolutely minor near inconsequential issue. And to be honest there were people here that said this somehow was the last straw in not renewing, which also confuses me. Are there people so bothered by letting a single Emissary rot if that is what it comes down to? Guess I'm just glad I'm not that hardcore anymore.
I guess I just assumed they'd have some mechanic that made it so you could always complete a emissary quest at any time if you wanted to. Thus my perception that the availability of certain quests was tied to the emissary being available. Guess that would have made too much sense to actually build into the game. Honestly, their creation of "pseudo-random" content this expansion has been the biggest fail. Just set the emissary chests up on a rotation. It was like the Kosumoth mount not being available in NA forever, or arms artifact appearance that just "happened" to never appear. You'd think in 12+ years they'd have figured out that fake randomness is better than actual randomness, but they clearly haven't.
I guess I just don't see why it matters. Kosmuth mount wasn't available for forever, then it was, then people had it. It was weird and a 4/100 on the annoying scale that it took that long, but it was fine. This is similar, weird and a 11-12/100 on the annoying scale, but to be quite substantially mad about it just baffles me. Honestly, I don't think it would be worth the dev time to make sure things like this or Kosmuth never happened, they just aren't things that matter enough. Other sources of random in this game, though, like legendaries and power differences that make more of a gameplay impact are much more frustrating to me, and those are the things that need be addressed quickly or people can be legitimately frustrated over.
tl;dr - Sure, Kirin Tor emissary being uncompletable was weird and annoying. But people on WoW forums were telling Devs to kill themselves over this, that is what I don't understand. Or people unsubbing because of this (or this even factoring into unsubbing).
