You’re right, we can! HOWEVER, they’re main focus is to ensure the non-fresh servers are working right. That takes time and energy to ensure it’ll work out smooth for the audience that they’re trying to impress. They don’t want lose members from the Majority, so they’re catering to them, first then proceeding forward onto the minority group because even if they lose members of the minority, they still have numbers in the majority.
I’m actually going to say that this impacts Classic Era Type Servers, when BC becomes Perma, and population dwindles down, and now we have an abundance of Servers to consolidate, and I’m afraid Blizz (instead of merging) will just turn on Connected Realms wiping out any Server Identities on any future Perma Classic Era Type Servers.
That’s another conversation to be had.
I mentioned it in my own thread, here:
