Don’t get me wrong, if you have a different preference, I feel that you should have realms that are smaller and accommodate you and your preference.
I do not in any way however think that Herod should be forced into being anything but one of the largest population servers of Classic… (as it started, before it even started).
Again, there are more factors in choosing a realm than population. If you don’t like this fact, you can write down your complaint on a piece of paper, and then take that paper home and flush it down the toilet.
Oh it’s easy to prove what someone’s reasons for picking a server were.
I just have to ask the person who has those reasons. We can determine based on the testimony whether that person picked the server based on population or some other factor.
Turns out I’ve done the experiment. The person in question claims to have had other reasons for picking Herod.
They could be lying, of course, but in this case I’m able to read their mind and determine that they’re not lying about their reasons for picking Herod.
Sorry, but the case is closed. Further comment and inquiry should be printed out and submitted to the circular file. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
I think it is absurd to think that any of the 200+ devs at Blizzard are “lazy”, or that anyone sets corporate policy as “let’s be a lazy corporation”. Remember, Blizzard is not a person and has no emotions. Let’s be real and not fantasize.
But I agree that Blizzard doesn’t “want” to balance servers. That is their official policy. You want them to balance servers. But they don’t. In their opinion, that is not something they “should” attempt to do. That is not “lazy”.
Recently, Blizzard offered free transfers to move away from 5-hour queues to log in. In a recent blue post, Blizzard said that free transfers were not working. They offered them, but almost no players accepted them.
So apparently that isn’t a “tool” you can use in your balancing.
