Those private servers are ran on independent servers with much improvement and not anywhere near the total amount of active players putting a load on the server data.
Those servers were all running on an inferior client and older tech than Blizzard has access to. They are all hosted overseas in Eastern Europe as well yet still ran fine.
Sure the total number of players here is greater but there is definitely a better way to handle layering than they have now. The layering is way too aggressive.
We can either have megaservers with layers or we can have large scale PVP events.
Blizzardâs been pretty clear that if you prefer to have a community WoW isnât the game for you.
Megaservers only, after all itâs âthe best way to enjoy WoWâ.

Anything besides zone by zone sharding. Retail âworld pvpâ style⊠not fun.

I never argued the good WSG players arenât good arena players. Itâs like how MMA fighters and boxers typically respect each others realms of expertise even if thereâs lots of crossover and most athletes could do both. I just said that people who call others low rated pejoratively while playing the version of the game where there is no such thing as rating usually arenât the best players themselves.
Even if most people arenât capable or interested in that higher level of guild v. guild PvP, Iâm still in their camp that layers need a huge revision or better yet removed outright. I myself am not that interested in coordinating gatekeeping but I still want that threat in the open world which is entirely controlled by other players. Layers prevent a lot of that. Arathi Fire elementals should be a hot spot farming spot right now but Iâm here by myself farming them as a healer with no one contesting me.
I think Classic players miss the forest for the trees when it comes to competitiveness in the open world, whether it be for quest mobs, dungeon entrances, or anything people congregate to. The madhouse of trying to get your slice of the pie is just as fun as linearly progressing your character for the upteenth time.
Okay yeah, weâre on the same page, I apologize if I misunderstood your point, I like debating so I came here to see what was up, lotta my people been posting this thread so I came to see what all the fuss is about.
I agree remove layering, but like I said I know, or at least I think I do why they got it right now. Sucks but, is what it is right now.
maybe everyone crammed on one mega server is a bad idea 
What? Lmao
agreed with op, this layering removes the gameplay entirely

Lmao oooooh pvp titles. Soup-er impressive lmao
I just established battlegrounds arent complicated, like the person i replied to did lol.
Anything youre top 1% in for NA+LA+OCE region? If wow pvp isnt impressive whats your thing youre good at?
Just a hater. You consume your life with the thinking people actually care what you have to say. There is so much involved with WPVP and just throwing AOE is not what it is. Whatâs the difference with a 40v40 clash to a 300v300? Nothing, but skill. You avoid them because you obviously suck. Miserable little cuss.
Is âshardingâ the same thing as layering?
real premade games are not what you think they are. your 2600 doesnt matter, we have already beaten rank 1 stacks/play with a few, its not an impressive thing to say. either you can show up with your group or you cant. its nothing like arenas, thoug there are some minute similarities
are you horde or ally?
Layering is additional copies of the world. Sharding is additional copies of a certain zone.
The problem people are reporting is that this new experimental âfaction balanced zonesâ feature is basically the same as sharding. Because people are on the same layer, and canât see each other.
Itâs clear that Blizz really wants the community to accept sharding. I donât even really like layering, but sharding makes the game pretty much unplayable from a wPvP perspective.
Please just go back to 2019 style layering with no sharding, Blizz.

ive heard this all before, usually by people who get farmed. I regularly play with people much higher rated than you that do not think like you do,2600 is mid duelist.
nobodsy is talking about brackets and HPH, im talking about real games. 10v10, just as you claimed âtook skillâ, a few posts back.
you dont want aoe 300v300? then get your 10 man and back it up.
Rank 1s and multi glads who are in the wsg scene say otherwise
why didnt you tell me which faction you play, btw?
Ive heard through the grapevine the blizzard bg tournaments are coming back this fresh. wonder where youll be when they come!
Sharding will not be good for world pvp or world events
Thats fine? What does disliking 300v300 make you think im against 10v10?
I prefer solo wpvp 1vX personally.
Im playing horde on fresh.
Ive been in the blizzard AT discord since tbc classic & theyve been big disappointments so far tbh. Lots of complaints from how its run. Also they havent said anything on there about it returning yet from what i saw.
Ive been playing arena since original s1 tbc and they used to let you pay $20 for 3 month access to AT realms, if you made it to phase 2 of tourney (actually low requirement) youd get another 3 months access. So half of every year i had AT access it was great lol. Nowadays with the 3rd party sites I dislike it but I did participate each time.
You should know what a joke RBG heroes are, the same with 5v5 princesses. Its been a stereotype forever that theres less and less individual skill required for these brackets therefore they mean less. Wsg is my favorite bg. Im not hating on it. Just saying arena means far more in my opinion & everyone i know whose opinion is worth anything in pvp which again is based on arena xp lol.
