Just increase the timer to like 30 sec between each back bug instead of 15.
Should make it less annoying, tho honestly I kinda like back bug so idrc.

That is hilarious 
Back bug isnāt that bad, in my opinion. Itās just funny how after that post about getting it forever, there has only been 1? week without it.
Make a backbug pet that is attainable through an achievement of completing a certain number of backbug shards.
When you feed it, it makes the backbug sound.

okay ngl this would make backbug worth it, when you feed it it gives the player who gave it the treat the water wyvern dot and kills them

Thatās just pure evil
yay back bug again 
Yea we have been beyond unlucky :ā( Itās like a 23% chance to get back bug on 15s, and we have been having more back bugs than not for the past two/three months
Not to be weird but I think back bug is fun
I find it funny how people were like āgive us more back bugā and the devs were like āokā then we were like āwait no I donāt like itā

Hey everyone just a heads up -
Due to recent feedback we have temporarily removed Back Bug from the weekly shard affixes and will keep it removed for a couple of weeks at least.
In the meantime, we will take your suggestions for improving this mutation into consideration moving forward.

I think Back Bug is fine, actually. Itās one of the harder affixes, but itās very much doable in every dungeon on every shard level, and a welcome challenge every once in a while. I donāt think it needs any tweaks, tbh.
My suggestion instead would be to make it less likely that an affix appears multiple weeks in a row, and increase the chance for affixes that havenāt appear in a long time. Backbug is fine and fun, but I think any shard affix for 6 or something weeks in a row will be repetitive. I bet tank mains would complain about Wild Creatures too if it were to appear for multiple weeks in a row like Back Bug did.
Iām not sure how it would work for the āharderā shard affixes, iirc thereās only three different ones (Reflective, Shared Pain, Reincarnation), and there are two out of those three on a 15 
A few new shard affixes would add more variety too. There was talk about a Friendly Fire affix here somewhere, and I can 100% see this on higher levels - if you hit a teammate, they take (a percentage of) the damage from the attack (youād probably have to exclude Shaman Lightning, Scoundrel Spread Poison etc if the player isnāt the main target). Maybe even bring back Golden Egg for a week to see how itās received by the community now (maybe in a nerfed form, I havenāt had the chance to play with it and canāt say how annoying it was exactly).
