[NPC] [Deepholm] Stone Trogg Berserker, Stone Trogg Ambusher, Twilight Saboteur

[Jyudo]

Description: Too high respawn rate of mobs harmful for server gold economy.

Current Behaviour: Very high respawn rate (around 20-30 seconds) of mobs causing gold inflation which is harmful for server economy. Many 90s lvls players ignore other gold making strategies and resort to grinding these mobs in Deepholm. "Twilight Saboteur" respawn is worse, it has almost instant respawn on airship.

Expected behaviour: Reduced spawnrate to 3-5 minutes or/and reduced loot reward.

The respawn rate is problematic, but the bigger issue is the green/blue drop rate from these mobs is about 100 times too high (this is not a joke or exaggeration).

Can confirm the behaviour of these mobs back on retail cata was way different, in retail the majority of the profits came from cloth and tailoring whereas on mistblade, it is heavily weighed towards greens/blues due to the droprates and also spawnrates.

You can see a more accurate portrayal of droprates and behaviour from retail cataclysm from these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J60QGIza9cg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J60QGIza9cg

Most importantly however, the droprates of the mobs were heavily nerfed in mists of pandaria, making the farmspot completely unviable on retail as of patch 5.4. This is even noted in the wowhead comments on the troggs, like on https://www.wowhead.com/npc=43228/stone-trogg-berserker.

The damage to the economy is already done with a lot of people farming DMCs here but nerfing the spot asap will limit further damage. I would similarly recommend nerfing the spawnrates of hozen monkeys in Krasarang Wilds next to Marista, which are similarly farmed with potions of luck due to their almost instant respawns and high droprates of greens and mainly spirits of harmony.

their NPC name is unga villager: https://www.wowhead.com/npc=60358/unga-villager#drops as you can see from their drop table as well as from associated comments on wowhead, their droprates are supposed to be incredibly low to reflect their large number and fast respawns which should prevent them from being a viable farming strategy. Please address them aswell to prevent further inflation.
