I've been constantly spawning/killing the giant blob for about 2 months now, and while it's fun and provides a nice way to get some hats and mounts, it tends to get repetitive and a little stale after a while. I was thinking that once every 200-300 times the giant blob has spawned there could be a bigger, harder blob to beat that gives you some sort of "rare slimy spoils" item if you're one of the top 3 attackers. Rare slimy spoils give you hats, mounts and furniture exclusively.

Here's a cool way to add this: giant blob spawns. Attackers get it to about half health and then it suddenly gets even bigger and regenerates 25% of its health and jumps up. When it lands again there are two rows of small blob defenders instead of one. When it jumps and lands it pushes people back further than the giant blob usually does.

Could be cool.  

Cool idea but top 3 would make a lot of people angry. For most it would probably be hard enough for them to be near the blob when it spawns, imagine having to be in the top three attackers. Plus a blob like that would probably have twice as many people attacking it.

True.  

the top attackers can still get golden slimy spoils but I think that making the rare spoils really hard to get will make it more fun.  

I think the giant blob should have a rare spawn gold version just like the regular blobs have a rare spawn golden version (perhaps it could spawn when a golden blob is killed).

And yes, it should have a chance of dropping very rare, exclusive stuff. And everyone who helps kill it would get golden spoils (maybe top 3 attackers can get two, I dunno). Just, in my scenario it's a giant golden blob, so naturally you'd get golden spoils from it.

This would be a very rare occurrence anyway, so I don't think you'd have to worry about too many people attacking it. And of course people (like the OP) who are sort of "farming" the giant blob would have a greater chance of encountering this rare version. As should be the case anyway.

So basically, I agree.
