Hooch not know what any of this means. Hooch dumb. Hooch going back behind the couch now.
you're on a different shard. BFA zones share with other servers that have players in WM. Its quite busy on ED when I play. Goldshire and outside gates of SW however are utterly empty. No one to duel, no one to talk to. Not even horde to attack.
WM ruined Emerald Dream. Stupidest addition to the game since sharding itself. Constantly splitting communities further and further.

Blame Blizzard.
The PvP and non PvP server format was functioning just fine. They develop things like warmode to cater to casuals who whine the loudest. It's just the latest reflection of how incompetent the blizz dev's are.
warmode option + phasing + sharding = Emerald Dream dead server community

I mean, statistically speaking, the War Mode system has given us more WPVP than we've had in years. Though, I'll agree with Phasing and Sharding, Emerald Dream shouldn't have that.
Has anyone done a /who to see how many people are actually in the Tiragarde Sound zone on a given shard in WM ON vs OFF? Boralus is fully CRZed/sharded since it's a new content zone.
Players who turn War Mode OFF probably spend more time in town than those who keep it ON - they're busy looking for M+ and Raid groups, so there's no sense being anywhere except in town. War Mode OFF versions of Boralus should be crowded.
Players who keep War Mode ON probably spend less time in town because they're out and about looking for fights. War Mode ON versions of Boralus should be less crowded.
Would be good to see some numbers for Tiragarde Sound with Warmode ON/OFF and not just look at Boralus. Same deal for Zuldazar.

I don't see too many Alliance out there. And when I do it's ED about half the time give or take.
At this point though, it's difficult decide where to point the blame - people throwing in the towel or that Blizzard really didn't give us any reason to go out in the world. Once you've gotten your reps where you want them, WQ's are trash outside of maybe the Azerite gear emmisaries.
And those only show up a couple times a week, so at tops people have to do like 8-12 world quests a week. Each of which can be completed in 30 seconds with group finder.
8.0 was very half baked, hopefully 8.1 makes the game whole.

Okay so it's a really dumb way to fix a problem then. Rather than pussifying all servers by allowing people to choose whether or not they want to WPvP they could've just done the logical thing and condensed servers. Then you could have the same amount of WPvP and have it be with familiar faces from the same server, which is what fosters community, rivalries, etc... basically the things that bring substance to a server.11/11/2018 11:10 PMPosted by RysuI mean, statistically speaking, the War Mode system has given us more WPVP than we've had in years.

Yeah the CRZ ruins war mode. I'm sure it's a situation where we're the minority - we had WPVP, making it cross-realm makes it less fun or interesting. For all the other servers (that Blizzard stupidly let become 99% one faction) it's a breath of fresh air.
But yeah they should never been so negligent to have allowed servers to become like that.

That was my reaction too. However, my agents on ED report about 93% war mode participation in the Orgrimmar auction house, and only 11% in the Stormwind auction house. While that's just one observation, that's far more unbalanced than I've seen it before, and somewhat worrying.
The way we had it before on Norm realms is you had to turn on pvp and you could fight or not. I enjoyed Wpvp this way and had a blasted on my Norm realm without sharding/CRZ. Granted that was before Mist. Why not give this back to us and let us decide and give us the extra 10% bonus for having it on so that we can see everyone on ED? Warmode should be something we can turn on and off at any moment. From a character RP, not everyone is a fighter, some are gathers and crafters who would rather watch or do their own thing but be around others.
Some of my favorite memories are wpvp. We did crazy things just to start crap like going afk flagged, waited for someone to attack and just so we all could attack them. I know, cheap shot move, but WPVP happens, and folks attacked us all the time. We did not always win; however, we had fun win or lose.

I am not sure who gave you those numbers, but in order to do a proper research you would need to do this daily for a week or two at best every day at the same time at the same locations. To properly do it, I would create a spreadsheet for this to note the level of the character(name as well so I don't forget who it was when I check again in 5 minutes but leave that info out at the end of the research), how long did they stay within that location and their race. I would do this for an hour. I know the research anthropologist in me kicks in when I think what it would really look like. AH is not a place that I would do this considering that we have RP folks going on in Mage area regularly and there are multiple AHs to use in both SW and Org. Our server is pretty well balanced Alliance vs Horde and we have active RP going on everyday with Warmode going on and off for the RP events.
Or you can just ask us on OUR forums who has it on or off, and do we ever turn it off for RP events, or in general or go ask it on your server forums to make it simple. I think most of us have it on all the time with the exception of some RP events because we enjoy being around other Emerald Dreamer friends, and foes. We take pride in our server and why we would prefer to be our own stand alone server without off realmers being shard to us or us to them. Who knows which way it is.

Honestly, you have a point OP but I find this easily faked.
There is no time showed in theses screenshots the "warmode on" easly could be at 3 am and the "warmode off" could be peak time. Come back with time showing and i'll believe this more.
