What’s happening on my realm Bigglesworth is that Horde and Alliance are separating into at least two layers to avoid each other. There is usually one PvP guild in a party for each faction in both those layers further aggravating my experience. I’ve been told by one of my faction players when I reached Gurubashi Arena to “switch layers”.
The fight to loot the Gurubashi Arena chest should be a lot like trying too Zalazane’s head on the WoW Classic launch day, not what it is now.
Update: I saw the Blizzard post (Did Gurubashi Arena have layers in Vanilla?) about adding a delay to repeatedly switching layers, and this should help somewhat, but I still think it falls far to short from what I think the solution should be in spirit with what Gurubashi Arena is supposed to be.
