I have no issues with blizzards plans for sharding, shard away imo.
Why does everyone that is 3/8 LFR think I will take their opinion seriously?
(God hes literally an LFR hero.)
This is who Blizzard listens to.
THIS. is who they are catering to.
These people, are why they are adding sharding.

I would gladly sit in a queue if it meant there was no sharding. It'll be just like the old days. Sharding takes away the community feeling of the server, if I'm on the same server as my friend, in the same spot, I should be able to see them no matter how many players are in that specific area, lag and all. That's how the game used to be in vanilla, don't change that atmosphere.

its effects nothing worthwhile - so I dont have to see youn in game, I consider that a win after this thread - I may have just gone PRO sharding! lol
Wow what an edgy answer. your so cool.
It does effect things though. More rare mobs (it will be used outside the leveling zones) More mining/herb nodes (which will encourage shard hopping by malicious users, which will be successful.) the list honestly goes on.
Ignorance.
oh, so you already know how blizzard will shard, where, and that it will last for all eternity?
No, your pulling this stuff out of your rear end.
Could it end up like that? Sure, but they have already expressed that they don't want it to have true impact on the vanilla experience, so my guess is sharding will be used for the 1st leveling zone, MAYBE the second, and after that it work be seen, and 2-4 weeks in it likely work been bee in those zones as sharding will likely be disabled at that point.
But hay this is speculation, just like yours was, because we don't know how they will shard, how long, and where will be effected.
They also expressed they wouldn't shard realms together, sharding would only be on your realm with people of your realm.

maybe they don't care about you caring about their opinion and are just expressing their own opinion.
Hard to believe but the world doesn't revolve around you.

I'm not against a quest, but when that que just to log in gets to half an hour, an hour, two hours... Exc. Then something else needs to be done. If people can't even play the game because they are stuck in que it creates other issues.
As an example back in vanilla I remember one of my friends using a bot to keep their character logged in 24/7 so he didn't have to wait in the que. He was cheating and breaking the rules just to avoid the que.
But hay this is speculation, just like yours was, because we don't know how they will shard, how long, and where will be effected.
We're concerned because they've lied about using it in the past and tried to sneak it onto RP servers after saying they would't:

I care more about Authenticity than your convenience.
Convenience is what ruined this game.
Stop ruining this game.
I don't understand why these people would ever want to play the game with sharding, It feels horrible. If they decide to roll out servers with say a 5k cap it wouldn't even be that bad once you split everyone up between all races etc.
Sure it would be crowded a bit but that's a part of the fun and would be a awesome experience to look back on with mates and whatever (Can you really disagree with that?). There is also ways to get ahead of the pack trying to mosey on by with the standard 1-10 quests, exploring, grinding in groups etc.
Sharding has no place in vanilla but the dev team is well aware of that.
There WAS a Blizzard post on this.

As you've noticed, the Classic Demo does have realm sharding. This is to let as many people as possible experience it without technical issues such as server capacity or spawn density getting in the way.
Longer term, we know how crucial it is to the Classic experience for you to see your friends when you walk into Stormwind or when youâre helping them on a quest youâve already completed. And there should only ever be one Kazzak on a realm, no matter how many people are waiting for him to spawn.
Weâre still looking at how we can best deliver an authentic Classic experience at launch, and in the weeks and months that follow - both in terms of gameplay and community. You wonât see phasing (which is tied to specific quests that don't exist in Classic) or cross-realm zones (which combine multiple realms together) in Classic. However, realm sharding is one of the best tools we have to keep realms stable when hundreds of players are swarming the same initial few zones and killing the same few mobs (like they will be at the launch of Classic). To that end, we do believe that some form of sharding may be helpful, especially in those early days. But we recognize that a cohesive world is critical to WoW Classic and are committed to bringing that to you.
What if sharding was voluntary? That way everybody who hates sharding can be crammed together, fighting over spawns and quest items while I can get some quests done in a reasonable time frame.

dont care if its in or not, doesn't effect anything that is worth getting worked up over.
It does effect everything.
I am sorry, but you are ignorant if you think not.
"Effect" and "affect" are different words with different meanings.
Can we be honest? A vast majority of the community hears Blizzard's reasoning for the plan to Shard the first few weeks in the starting zones and agrees it is more beneficial to have starting zones that are smooth and easy to get away from than to have 3400+ people or more all fighting over 1 mob spawn. You need to stop acting like your opinion is the majority of the community because honestly from what I've seen the people who are okay with them doing it for the first few weeks vastly out number all of you crying about it. The difference is that you are louder about your opinion and demand everyone agree with you.

It's also something to consider that just being on the forums puts us in a very tiny minority. So, even a large outcry on the forums still only represents a small fraction of the total players.

And? none of that matters - so there are extra resources on the AH, who cares, means I can buy em for less. So there are more rare mobs, so what?
Sorry kiddo, ive been playing Classic servers in other MMO's since before TBC was released, none of what you said has any real relevance to the server.
its just the hivemind getting their nest poked at. over something that is removed by the time everyone starts hitting 60

I have noticed this as well. this is a community of tryhards that need to be contained in scummy private servers
These shard threads just make me wonder. If people were this informed and driven within our political system maybe the USA wouldn't be in such a sad political state.
Write your state senators once a day. Maybe if enough do it they will listen. /shrug
Screw welfare reform/removal, education, and infrastructure issues. Don't !@#$ with our game man. We will unite! Lmfao
Gd. This makes me want to unplug completely and go live on a mountain. Lol.
