Why are the cooldowns on toys so sporadic and weird?
Title. The cooldowns for Toys seem rather arbitrarily implemented, without any concern for what the toy actually does.Gamon's Braid has a 2-hour cooldown, Iron Boot Flask has a 1-hour cooldown. I looked back through previous posts but none of them really seem helpful. "It ruins the flavor of WoW if you can just spam them constantly." Makes little sense depending on how long you play.If a majority of people play for 5+ hours a day, then alright, I could see limiting the use of Toys. But some of them just have baffling CDs for no real reason. Hell, Moroes' Famous Polish is debatably more "game-changing" than either of the above because it shows your character as being as naked as possible, but it only has a 30 minute CD by comparison.Spirit of Bashiok summons the dancing tree that's on fire for like 3-5 minutes, but has an hour CD, whereas Archmage Vargoth's Spare Staff has a 2 minute cooldown and lasts around the same time as far as I'm aware.Even if the items all cause strain on the servers, which I'm sure they do when spammed (Like the Haunted Memento's ghost thing apparently), that doesn't change the inconsistency with regards to the cooldowns. How is the cooldown decided? Orb of Deception lets you change into a member of the Horde for 5 minutes with a 30-minute CD. Iron Boot Flask makes you an Iron Dwarf for 10 minutes with an hour CD. The Bloodmane Charm makes you into a Saberon, with a 30-minute CD too.It's not like all of them are abuseable in some way. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I just can't wrap my head around it.
