I WANT Temporary sharding

Blizzard stocks crashing, sell sell sell!

I think blizzard sometimes forgets that the people playing their games are also sometimes their investors. And the investors do not look happy with their recent announcements. We have more power to get what we want than you think you do. :

Blizzard is going to do what blizzard wants we have all seen them say one thing and do the complete opposite on several occassions.
Personally on launch day i am just hopping on to reserve my names and then plan on waiting a month before i start playing.


Now that is a very good idea. I may use a token and do the same.

Pathetic.
Not that I want sharding, at all, but the player caps need to be greatly increased.

Legion/BFA feel like single player games with sharding and CRZ.
Sharding is horrible even in retail. I run into 0 people while leveling through b4a and it’ll be the same in clsssic if it’s sharded. Vanilla was about problem solving, limited resources and having to group... sharding kills a lot of this.
At this point I'm reporting you for trolling for continuing to spread this lie.
I've also reported this poster for trolling. Several times.
Quoting myself, because the pro-sharders seem to have glossed over it.

If they can't deal without sharding when all the players are divided between 6 starting zones. What are they going to do for the AQ event when all the level 60s are in the same zone?

Say you have 400 zone and shard them off into 8, 50 person shards (for simplicity). Sure no big deal. Fast forward to AQ, where now you have lets say 70% at that point of the people online at any give time level 60, 1750 on a 2.5k pop server. Half those players are in Silithus for the AQ event, 875 people in 1 zone. In 1 small area. You think people aren't going to come screaming on the forums for sharding.

No. Shut that argument down now, by saying sharding is unacceptable at any time for any reason.

Nah it really doesn't, when you correctly place Blizzard as the master.

But good try anyway, Sharding Uncle Tom.

Rare isolated incidents?

I can only speak from my personal experience, although I doubt that I am the only one who has experienced the issues of disappearing and reappearing resource nodes, etc. For me, it is an everyday occurrence. It happens at least half a dozen times every time I log in.

Of course, I am not surprised that a former contributor to the “Wall of NO” who now apparently wants to sabotage classic by any means wants to claim that being moved between shards is a “rare occurrence”.

Well the one thing about sharding is they can change the setting to how much or little they want in a shard I do feel like BFA is set low may be because of CRZ idk. Hopefully they will crank the number up a bit for classic.

ya boi………….

If they are going to “crank it up”, why would sharding even be necessary?

Sharding is all about catering to the instant gratification, convenience oriented mindset, nothing else. Sharding is all about catering to those who want no competition for mobs, quest objectives, resources, etc. The problem is that all of those players in the starting zones will be moving onto the secondary zones. Are we supposed to believe that those players who could not handle competition in the starting areas will suddenly be accepting of competition for those mobs, quest objectives, resources, etc. simply because they are now in a secondary area?

I want temporary sharding

Blizzard has 4,700+ employees, I wonder if any of them ever post here

The fact they can arbitrarily control and limit the size of the community is not a positive.
