VP Key Enough is Enough

That's my guild's experience as well. I'm not convinced there are placeholders. The spawn rate is horrid whether everything gets slaughtered or not.

That's actually not a bad rate at all. Works out to an AJ every 72 minutes on average. When we were farming it we put in a threeish hour session across 3 picks and got zero AJ's. Bad RNG on our part, but good RNG on your part I'd say. We had a few players in that 20 hour range too, but often it was players who saw him spawn multiple times and another group got to it first. When actively clearing, one every 2-4 hours seems about average in my experience.
