I havent went out of my way to farm Anima, but I did make The Wild Hunt my hit list faction. Doing that zone non stop has gave me more anima than I can spend at the rate souls are distributed.
The real outrageous part for Anima is that it costs a shit ton to heal your companions. The effort required to get the anima, versus the reward for a table mission is no where near comparable.

Getting hammered at work so I only hit the covenant halls this week, and seeing 'Fuck you until you've done 1K anima worth of World Quests' three hours into being at level cap made me consider dropping my sub already. Aren't souls already the time gating mechanism, and anima intake limits your missions?

Ya. I would drop my sub too if something I gather up in 30 minutes spread through the entire week ruined my experience as well.

Are those WQ's actually 35 anima? It will show you a 35 anima, but then in the corner of the item's icon it might give you a number. That's how many of those you get. The total is also how much you get towards the weekly.
Just for anyone that might not have noticed. I use the addon WQ List, which puts the total on the map for me (bottom left circle).

Imagine if instead of Blizzard being retarded they just put 140 from the start.

1k over 7 days is a joke. This expansion is so less grindy with respect to player power. Unless you can about sockets, all you have to do is farm 1k anima, do 1 quest in the maw, and two torghast runs a week. That is nothing compared to the bullshit we have dealt with for the past 4 years.

I think I finished the 1k anima quest on the first day of Max level just doing the systems introductory quests

My guess is that the Anima tokens allow them to circumvent the warmode clusterfuck and lessen the complaints about alliance getting 30% more stuff than a_horde_karen_1943230. Also, someone has a fetish for RNG, so they get to add more RNG to the WQs in how many tokens you get as a reward.

Also probably the catchup mechanic is likely adding more of to the stack you get as well so again lowers the impact of any kind of other amplifier in effect.

I noped out when I saw you needed a ton of anima just to get flight paths back. We all hated wizard chores, so they gave them to us on steroids. They made them take longer to complete, made them vastly more boring AND took out all the rewards for doing them. After BFA, I knew they would fuck up this xpac, but I didn't think they could fuck up this large.

? It is vastly worse.
I had a WQ that I gave up on after 40 minutes and I still wasn't done. All for...35 anima. 35 anima out of 1000 needed to get the first level of flight paths back. You know...flight paths we had at day 1 of WoW that we didn't have to grind for. 1 quest a week in the Maw is one quest too many and Torghast is a bad, boring joke. This xpac was 100% designed to keep the 5% witless spergs busy with grindy, boring content that gives no rewards.

How on earth do you take 40 minutes to do a WQ? I can do one solo as blood in 5-10 if its a long way. Sorry to say, sounds like a player issue.

I literally just logged in. Saw an elite WQ giving 250 anima. I walk into the area and joined an open group. That WQ was done in less than 5 min.
Most of the time solo WQ give 2, 3, or 4 count of the 35 anima items. I can't recall any WQ ever giving a single 35 anima item as a reward. And NONE of them have ever taken 40 min. to complete.
I completed the quests for Sanguine Depths that rewards 750 anima. I'm waiting to turn it in on Tuesday for the weekly reset. Easy week. There are 2 dungeon quests that award 750 anima each and this is one of them.

Although I agree w/ what you said, just to clarify, there are WQ's w/ only 35anima rewards. Here's one that's currently up for me. Maybe it's a bug? Not sure why its just rewarding 35, but they do occur

Honestly once your companions are decently leveled, it's probably more efficient to set them up where a healer will heal them during a mission in the back row against a group they won't ever get targeted by, while your troops easy clean up for the win. Usually one of the 4 hour short missions a time or two and you can heal them up much more efficiently than wasting anima on doing so.
1k anima stuff are a joke and easy to do. I know some people that were saving up their dungeon quests they got from zones like the Theater of Pain one that awarded 750 anima, then just waited to turn in until they knew they needed 1k. Couple world quests or chests after the fact and you're done. There's so many random treasures that throw bits of anima at you it's hard not to have more than enough. You're only going to be able to do one of the big sanctum upgrades a week anyways due to the soul limitations per week. I have over 8k anima banked up at this point with all 4 things opened up at rank 1. If you want to blow excess on cosmetic shit you can, none of it is tied to player power, though, so it is whatever.

The fuck are you talking about? This is one of the least grindy xpacks since daily quests were introduced to the game. Yeah, some of the WQs take longer than before (40 minutes tho... lol) but you don’t have to do any of them. They aren’t tied to player power outside 1k weekly anima. That is only 10 WQs a week if you just do 100+ anima ones. The maw is not required unless you want sockets, and if it takes you 40 minutes to give up on a WQ, sockets arent saving your dumbass.
