Just a reminder, Harrowstorms are not fixed until...

You remove counterfeit edicts from our satchels OR include a recipe drop alongside them. Feels like 9/10 times, when I open a satchel, instead of a chance at an exciting furnishing recipe, I get a single, extremely disappointing counterfeit edict. This cannot be how you intended to reward us for this content. Satchals seem like a 1 in 5 drop as it is. So when I open one, there should be something awesome inside.

It boggles my mind how bad HS drops are compared to dragons. Rewards like that shouldn’t be markedly downgraded from one chapter to the next.

I've said it before, there's zero incentive to do these, between lack of enticing rewards and the unknowable entity that is Carrion Swarm. The former is more egregious. The latter is just annoying.

Between boring activity with good rewards and interresting activity with bad rewards they've chosen boring activity with bad rewards😅

Yes, it is extremely disappointing. It's a total waste of time. This is why it is more and more difficult to find people to do a harrowstorm.

And while you are at it, do something about that crazy Shrieke. Its clinically insane, and a cheater. Its AOE's kills you even if you are outside of them, the damage is ridiculously high and ticks like what? Every 0.5 seconds? Also it strikes you without any warning /telegraph) from the other side of the harrowstorm, that's not just bad mechanics - it's like "no mechanics". Even increase the damage, as long as it stays IN the AOE's, and as long as there's any chance of seeing it coming.

When I saw datamined into that there was going to be two Harrowstorms in this Fall's Story DLC, my heart just sank.

I will be beyond thrilled never to do these again. I'm almost happy about the insanely-bad rewards. Part of me really doesn't want any incentive to do content this bad.

It says it's from the Harrowstorm Shrike, just look at the tooltip. And that's only part of its problems. That one hits you from across the harrowstorm, and there's like no knowing it will happen.
His dive attack is very annoying too, it knocks you down and leaves an extremely high AOE at the very spot, even if you break free from the knockdown, you will die in like exactly one second, because it gives about 14k damage/second; and you will have taken damage from the knockdown too - and there's no seeing it coming, unless you know his moves and are actively watching him; the AOE however will also deal damage outside of it.

I really SPECIALIZE in this foul creature, and give it all I have when it spawns, otherwise it will kill me. No exceptions.

I do them.because it's fun and they look cool, but can't understand why not better give the same level of rewards for anchors or dragons.

I think the harrowstorms are nicely designed in terms of the activity itself. Maybe a bit too chaotic when you only have potatoes there, but even that can be fun. But only to the extent there is some reward for the effort, and right now, after a rough harrowstorm with hundreds of monsters spawned because potatoes, there is essentially ZERO reward most of the time. So I stopped doing them. That is just bad game design.
