Now I’m pretty sure you are just trolling at this point.
But in the unlikely case you aren’t trolling please explain in detail how I am fear mongering and how I should rephrase my opinions better.

Your choice. I take no issue with that at all.
Nope, because that actually happened and is based in fact.
Simple.
“I will wait until the mass of people at launch has receded to see if sharding is still being used. If it is, I won’t play.”
That’s all you really need to do. Just like Xecks up there.
So you just would rather we all just sit back and say/do nothing to express our feelings about the changes blizzard is making to the game and hope for the best?
If this is the case than shouldn’t you not express your feelings about wanting sharding to be in the game and just sit back and see if it gets added in the first place?

That is exactly what many anti-sharders have been trying to tell us. They call us trolls and tell us to go play BfA, etc… So, we shouldn’t tell you all the same thing?
And so is everything people are saying happened with sharding in Current WoW, Blizzard going back on their word, etc. You’re just selectively choosing based on personal bias. That’s the hallmark of a troll, and so now I move on as you’ve displayed your true colors.

Not sure I follow the logic here, so instead of having a conversation about it you would rather just attempt to shut me down? isn’t that the entire point of the forums? to discuss things like this?
You’re only reading what you want to read in those quotes, your irrational fear of further sharding beyond launch is blinding you.
They’re sharding at launch to make sure that the population is healthy and stable long-term. They’re using sharding, so they can pack 10k maybe 20k people into each server at launch so they don’t need to create 5x as many servers to accommodate everyone. The alternative to this, is create just as few servers but have a majority of people trying to play sitting in a 20 hour long queue, which Blizzard is probably not going to do.
I think he wishes you were on a different forum shard so he wouldn’t have to interact with you.

You’re sure lacking the discussion aspect of your usual trolling. Now it’s just single line quips.
You’ve done the same thing. So, you display the hallmarks of a troll as well?
So, the anti-sharders would actually listen to those of us that understand the need for sharding during launch.
The only things I’ve seen the anti-sharders say against sharding is that it kills community (which at launch, it won’t because launch will be too chaotic to work on community building, as well as people can still communicate with everyone in the zone through general chat), and that Blizzard can’t be trusted to not use it later, which is entirely supposition.
See Mogar’s posts for the typical anti-sharder position. They believe that anyone that does want sharding at the start are trolls. It’s simpler to flag people like that for harassment.
Not gonna lie, I did laugh.
Look, I really do hope that you are all correct and we don’t ever have sharding past the starting zone at launch and I may be blinded by the possibility of sharding further down the road so I’m blowing things out of proportion, but can we please just have a discussion about it without just trying to shut people down and or telling us to just not play if we don’t like it?

The irony here isn’t lost on me.
sorry? I don’t follow.

Even if you actually meant “as many as are necessary, but only at launch”, that still does not restrict it to the starting areas at launch, does it?
It sounds to me as if you are advocating using sharding well beyond the starting areas if those secondary and tertiary areas (and possibly beyond) are not convenient enough for you or there are too many obstacles (other players in an MMO) in your way.

Then don’t play. If you can’t stand all those “obstacles” (other players in an MMO, for goodness sakes), then don’t play or wait a week or two until the initial rush is over.

At present, with the information available… It isn’t me that has to worry about that. Also, since you’re being disingenuous… Other players in the same are as me is to be expected. HUNDREDS of faceless zerglings in TINY starting areas not designed to hold that many people is not what the developers originally had in mind, if it was, the zones would have been made larger, and had more to do spread out.
You are the one who said in no uncertain terms that you see all those other players in an MMO as “nothing but obstacles in your way”.

Actually, if your stalking of me had been a little less biased, you would have seen that my stance has always been about overcrowded starting zones, and not about other players in general. But, that didn’t fit your anti-sharding harassment narrative, so you just skimmed right over that. But that’s OK. You do you.
Harassment? I haven’t see harassment from anyone. What are you talking about? Differing opinions is NOT harassment
