Blizzard, when you dropped HC and turned on layering for ERA, I unsubbed 4 accounts (2 for me, 2 for my kids) because I play ERA only and want VISIBLE player saturation in the world. That is what it makes it fun (WoW is a game and games are supposed to be fun; layering on ERA = no fun = no play = no sub = no money for you). If I want to play a 1-player game all by myself, I’ll play some other game—that I don’t have to pay for. I won’t pay for WoW to be alone in a zone while I level.
I came back to ERA when you turned layering off for ERA a couple days after HC launch. It seemed then that you’d finally learned to listen to your ERA playerbase. I guess I was wrong. So I’m just telling you straight up; I will unsub all accounts again if you don’t turn layering back off again on ERA. I know I’m just one person so maybe you don’t care, but I pay real money to play this game, so I’m speaking my piece.
Blizzard sadly won’t be able to appease everyone. You’ll have people whining about there being layering, and those whining that there isn’t layering. No one wants to play on a seemingly dead world, but at the same time no one wants to be stuck unable to level at a reasonable pace due to congestion and not enough layers.
Era is just dead atm 60-70% of the population that would’ve played on Era are currently playing on Season of Discovery. The fact that Era is so dead that someone made a post like this thinking they turned on layering is just lmao. Realize that people have other gameplay avenues rn and not everyone is going to always be on the Era servers.
I’m almost certain the OP came to this conclusion due to an addon stating there are layers present.
Yet, Blizzard has stated now multiple times that the addon is not accurate, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
This isn’t the first time someone has complained about layering that Blizzard has had to correct the record.
I for one would wish Blizzard would (if they could) address the issue of people constantly worrying about what layer they’re on, instead of just playing the game, by permanently breaking such addons. Nothing good comes from the every 2 second “request for layer” comment in chat, players cheesing the game by layer hopping, or streamers crashing layers by getting everyone invited to their layer.
how embarrassing.
