It’s more like having 10 cakes in separate rooms. Sure, you’ll get your slice of cake, but you don’t get to enjoy it with everyone.
Maybe you could have bonded with that hot blonde thicc girl over how much you’re enjoying the cake together. Maybe you could have gone to the movies afterwards and exchanged numbers. Maybe you would’ve started dating, got married, and had children together. Maybe you would’ve both grown old together. But none of that will happen, because she was in cake room #2 while you were in cake room #9. Oh well.
There is 1 cake and 8 people are eating it. Magically, 7 other people are eating the same cake and are not visible by those 8 people. One of the 7 players gets invited to the other cake and gets to eat parts of two cake.
Layers should only be progressively added as population rises on a server, and there should be time-restrictions on how often you can swap layers. These restrictions could range from 1-2 weeks, or maybe even longer.
But there’s still plenty of people around you to enjoy your full-size piece of cake with. Seems preferable to the room being packed more tightly than a Tokyo rush hour train with each of you only getting a crumb of cake.
I’ve participated in a handful of fresh start servers. If you’re complaining about a temporary mechanic designed to keep the game playable, you really have no idea what to expect, and should keep your vitriol to yourself.
Unless you think it’s fun standing in one spot trying to tag a mob when it spawns, for hours on end.
And if you feel that your solution is better… There’s a reason someone else is making the decisions, and you’re just puling on a forum over something you can’t wrap your head around.
cake has no nutritional benefit. i am not sure how people eat it. you should look into a granola that is low on sugar. You will realize how much better things taste when you can say that you are eating someone that isn’t killing your body at a accelerated rate.
