INSTABILITY. DCs. People disappearing and re-appearing at random. Hyperspawns, nodes dis- and re-appearing. Lag, constant asks for inv for layer abuse, every nook and cranny filled up with people, no RP servers, lots and lots of things are so very wrong about layering.
Ok, those are good points. How are you going to convince blizzard it’s worth it, longer than the initial hype, to not do layers? If they let us do more than 1 of each dungeon per day I’d be all for no layers. But, without layers, I could see the griefing and attempts to kill other people as a VERY common outcome of competition. More than 1 of each dungeon per day would be required
I do not get this connection. At all.
It’s due to the competition of the open world. HC isn’t about competition against other players. Abd no layers is all about competing for spawns.

Many realms. Not only one. To be merged later on. Realms are superior to layers in terms of stability and that is a prerequisite for HC.
If you were given the option of a layered BC hc server, or a non layer BC hc server without the dungeon limit, which would you pick?
None really. I do not like layers, and the one dungeon limit is a feature of HC that I like because the pressure to run dungeons are lessened.
But IF I had to choose, I’d take the realms ( plural!) with no dungeon limit. This at least would ensure that I could play, as I level by Questing, grinding and exploring.
AND I want the possibilty to mute all /w from people not on my friends list too in that case, as I play Paladin and am NOT interested in being asked to tank or heal this or that Dungeon every 5 seconds.
You level by questing. Why would you be at all opposed to removing the dungeon limit. Dual spec isn’t a hc feature, but we got it on doom. Hardcore isn’t hardmode.
As I said:
I am spammed enough with Dungeon requests with the one dungeon a day limit. I cannot try to imagine how it would be without this limit.
I’m sure there’s an addon to filter whispers not on your friend list or guild. I personally love dungeon grinding. Specifically as a prot warrior, or resto druid. I don’t play one, because questing SUCKS as a prot warrior, or resto druid. I need to be able to spam dungeon runs to have fun on them. I play an aoe frostmage, because I can abuse layer hoping to simulate a solo dungeon run by aoe grinding and not questing.
I level as a ‘meme but mostly Prot’ Paladin … slow but unkillable … Did I say that I love levelling - Downside is that I cannot compete for mobs as I have no distance damage before Consecration (earliest al level 30 for me).
After reading what you say here, maybe many Realms with no dungeon limit is the very best. I can level in the world with people of my ilk, and leave you and yours to level in the Dungeons.
HC is as you said not a competition, but fun.
I do not use addons either if I can avoid it - so make that an in-game functionality, like insta-mail.
The addon you want is called “Badboy”. I looked it up and found it here: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/make-it-possible-to-block-all-whispers/436046/2 from the MVP.
