Are normal people suppose to know what you are saying here?
Blizzard hasn’t said it was the entire player bases’ fault. Blizzard has said it is the fault of the people who congregated on those servers. Why would they blame people who never played on a megaserver? At least try to rub a couple of brain cells together.

Let me simplify for you then. Either you agree with blizzard that this was manufactured by the player base or you agree with a majority of the player base that blizzard did this.
This ALL could be avoided if we didn’t have to rely on 3rd party information to know what server populations REALLY are.
Except blizzard refuses to do the one thing that would fix all these problems and why? Because they want everyone to think their game is a lot more popular than it is.
So here’s as simple as it gets. Either you agree with blizzard this problem is player manufactured and we pay the price by having forced server balance OR you agree with what the rest of us are saying that blizzard manufactured this problem so the burden lies on them to come up with better solutions. It’s pretty simple. I want to believe people are playing devil’s advocate rather than being complete shills for blizzard. Yet no one is willing to walk the walk when we talk about solutions like forced server balance in any capacity
You cant blame the players for wanting to play on alive servers.
I dont think your two options are necessarily the only two options.
I definitely think the players didn’t help by abandoning entire servers throughout all of classic.
I also definitely think that blizzard did a poor job of managing server population throughout all of classic.
THAT BEING SAID: they (blizzard) seem to be trying to take a more active role in server pop management over the last few weeks, and I am in favor of it.
They have provided a solution to the current server population issues, which is to take a free xfer from the overcrowded realms onto some less-crowded realms. The fact that a lot of people don’t want to take the xfer is purely their choice, but I also think that by not taking the xfer, those same people probably don’t have much of a platform for complaining about the queues.
Well I absolutely understand and can accept everything you said there except that last part. I don’t see why paying customers who are unhappy with the product have anything to do with the others who are perfectly happy with it. I think there’s room for complaints here and don’t understand why people need to convince me so badly that blizzard is doing the right thing when there’s alot of people out there like me who completely disagree with that
It’s your fault and they are putting your nose in it like a dog
Ok. I’m willing to accept that if they are willing to accept the fact that they need to release REAL time detailed server populations from blizzard themselves. If it’s my fault then I want to be 100 percent informed on server populations. Except they won’t do that.
Let that sink in people. The ONE solution that would fix everything and they refuse and have always refused. And why? Because they don’t want their shareholders to know how low their subscription count really is.
I mean if someone has a better answer to why they don’t release DETAILED and updated information on server populations I’m all ears.
Also while I wasn’t trolling about deleting servers I’ll gladly accept that it’s not a good solution as long as you admit that blizz can fix all this mess by doing the one simple thing I’m saying here. Release 1st party detailed and real time server info. If it’s going to be on us then inform us 100 percent on the decisions we are making
I dont think it takes a rocket scientist to know that if your server had a queue during a prepatch its going to have a queue a month later at release. Its your own fault you sat on your hands and hoped enough people would leave so you wouldnt have to.

Pretty much this. Guilds had at least a month to organize/farm gold in prep for a move.
OP, you can create new character on on fresh server right now “angerforge” and you won’t find any queue on it.
but regardless your point of view, i can see that you’re playing on a mega server! so if you wanted to play on bendiction because it has the most alliance numbers then your point is invalid because even if blizzard deleted classic and made fresh servers you’ll be the first to follow everyone and cause your server to have queue’s.

Your solution is bad because it does not, in any way, address the 4 underlying ‘root causes’ of the problem it is designed to solve, which are:
- The number of people playing WoW varies widely at different times.
- WoW is not fun to play if you are on a dead server.
- Servers have a limited capacity.
- The WotLK playerbase has vocally objected to letting people on different servers play together.
Cleaning the slate and wiping everyone’s char to zero would not do anything to change or fix any of those four issues other than, perhaps, causing a lot of people to quit, which would address issue 1.
Even the most skeptical Blizzard haters would have to admit that it would be a poor choice for them to do that.
So…yeah, It is a bad solution.
