Blizzard, as a loyal customer for over 15 years, I am sincerely disappointed with your lack of attentiveness to the issue of queue timers. As a customer, the approach you continue to take without apology not only reflects to your loyal customer base a lack of sincere respect for us but also the complete inability to proactively think outside of the box. There’s no excuse for any lack of foresight given the age of World of Warcraft. So, please, do what you can to find a unique fix for the issue that high population servers experience.

Imagine being the team lead that approved this decision.
How about leave the mega-servers layered, and the vocal minority whinging about #nochanges #nolayers, can go join the medium populated no layer servers. You’ve already made changes, just manage the servers on a case by case basis.
Rather than make the entire player base of the mega-servers suffer, by opening up transfers too them and removing layers, so queues hit over 1000 at 2.30pm on a Sunday.

Holy god turn layering back on… obviously when you say you have looked at player numbers 2 people with no idea on what’s going on eith your game Just turned around and had a conversation like…
“Should we turn layers back on just cause”
“Yea why not, but make sure it looks like we know what we’re doing”
Absolutely useless turn layers back on or make your game free to play to I don’t have to pay to sit in 4 hours queues

2PM, there’s queues.
By 5-6pm it’ll be a multiple hour queue and people logging on at that time will likely miss raid.
Thanks Blizzard for failing to understand your community yet again and delayering Arugal.

Until you can come up with a better solution! Turning layers off without making any changes and turning a blind eye is not a solution!

Yo blizz,
Why do you even do this? You’re going to end up re-layering Arugal within a week, but why make idiotic decisions like this? Who’s the team lead making these sorts of calls? This is the reason that Blizzard-Activition has been failing for over a decade. I can’t wait to hear your excuse for this error; I’m betting you’ll somehow blame the playerbase as usual.
It’s sad that private servers have been more reliable than the entire classic project.

If Blizzard’s plan is to force Classic players out and make them play Shadowlands instead. Guess what? That’s not gonna happen. I’d rather unsub than move to retail.
We are literally getting only 2/3rds out of subscription time which we PAY REAL MONEY for, because of your stupid 4-6 hour queue times.

Argual yesterday on Saturday afternoon at 4pm had a 1000+ queue. Today, Sunday 3pm has a 1500+ queue (i expect this to hit like 4000+ tonight). We as a community told you time and time again this problem wouldn’t go away. Time and time again you don’t believe us. You had a chance at the very start to have a hard cap on server numbers - the layering system allowed that cap to become larger and now you are trying to squeeze that inflated number back into a hard cap. I presume you hope that people will get fed up and spend money on a paid transfer which will drive up your profit - there is simply no other explanation for why you would do this.
We all cared about the real classic experience and you forced layers on us, then promised they would be gone for AQ. Once they were in, we as players knew they wouldn’t ever go for AQ. You have already provided a crap version of classic that is dumbed down - if this were a private server no one would have played it. But now you are making it so we cannot play. Put the layers back and let us enjoy what is left of this half assed attempt at recreating the world in 2006.
Can you please implement layers as you originally intended? They were meant to spin up additional layers when more people logged in. This could allow for 1 layer in off peak and up to 3 in peak times. Bring this back, this worked. This meant there was not a stupid level of resources available 24/7 (like has been the case with the perma 2x layers for the last few months) and means that in the evening when everyone gets home from their jobs to raid with their guildies - they can log in and enjoy the game.
I hope someone reads this.

Yeah, meanwhile on Argual the queue is going to be at 3-4 hours during peak time most people wont play, Blizzard only gave us ONE pvp server on launch everyone resvered names on here and started playing on here, something like 5% of the populated went to the pve server, until they opened more in following days people weren’t able to play the game and still those servers are TINY compared to argual.
All created by blizzard, my guildies shouldn’t have to start up remote access to login 3 hours before they get home from work (if they finish at 5)
Imagine asking your boss for 3 hours early off work to play a video game to wind down.
Layers are shete yes, but they’re the best option for the massive overcrowding blizzard caused then never fixed with free transfers or a reason/way to move an entire guild.

If you wanted a game with permanent layers, you shouldn’t have even started playing classic.
