Holy crap I just hopped on my 51 mage to do some aoe mindless fun in zf, it is cathartic for me, i did it on my pally too, love the challenge of that, and these mobs all teleporting everywhere i go. GET RID of this change, revert revert REVERT… I don’t care how much other people ran dungeons or boosted or made the gold less valuable, aoe farming either gold, or xp, or just for the challenge of it gave me long term goals that I appreciated accomplishing and polishing to fine art. It is an ASPECT of the game, not a bane. I play a rogue, i solo kill things fast, I play a warrior, i midly kill multiple things fast, I play a mage I wanna kill a lot of things. It is part of the game. Put it back. I litterally spent hard earned gold (on faerlina alliance no less) to get my blacksmithing to a point to buy demon forged breastplate and the stam darkmoon fair trinket because i wanted to see if i could do it and how well i could. Not everything is about raiding, which i do, nor pvp, which i do, but I also enjoy group play, solo play, and questing. I didnt do aoe as a means to avoid leveling via questing, keep in mind i never boosted nor bought a boost in my life, but as a challenge for large investment, high reward, especially on paladin. Not something I want to do for long term gold making, most just for fun. This is not a change i endorse, and emphatically say revert. REVERT!
Also, now that I have your attention, You keep thinking about fixing server populations for low pops, but what about pops that are low on a high pop sever. We made the mistake of moving to faerlina 10 days before the mass exodus last november, then because of the 3 month wait, we got stuck there. Now we have too many toons to swap servers. You should impliment a “if your side of the server is below X ammount percent of the total populatin, you get an automatic free transfer.” I mean my god, we are less than 5% of the server population; and thats rounding up by a lot. Give us a way off this rock without costing us 200 bucks to move our toons, shoot, i would even buy a 50 dollar you have 24 hours to move every toon on every server option to shuffle them all around.
But if only one thing is taken into account from this post, REVERT THOSE CHANGES. They are gross. Allow aoe to be allowed again, shoot make it harder, just not impossible. Challenges are a great part of early wow, and you just shot one of the best goal oriented desires in the foot. I would spend tons of time gearing my paladin just to be able to pull a whole low level dungeon. That is fun, sure NERF the xp into the ground, i dont care about that, just let me aoe.
