Not if you are wearing extra strength Depends but then will you even notice?
Nope. Its because 90% of the people going to play classic donât care about the sharding of the starting area.
Thus the false upvote. Most people in the forums are a minority of the actual playerbase as the majority donât even come here.

No.
Introducing a NON-VANILLA game mecahanic like sharding which isolates players from each other is NOT what is needed for a game that is founded on community.
Sharding is antithectical to community.
Sharding takes a community and divides it. Sharding isolates people from each other. That is NOT Vanilla WoW gameplay.
Vanilla was all about ~2500 people in a home town on a unique realm - NOT divided from each other.
If you like changing Vanilla so much with sharding, then play BFA. Youâll have all the sharding you wish for.
They used sharding in BFA and Legion. Howâs that been working so far?
Let us know all the friends you make there in your tiny, little sharded existence in BFA, will you?
Why anyone who would look at what sharding (and other modern convenience and population tech) has done to the last two expansions in WOW and then WANT sharding in Vanilla WoW is worrisome to me.
It tells me these people would rather instantly login, loot a corpse and level up - WITHOUT INTERACTING WITH ANYONE.
Oh, wait, that describes gameplay in modern WoW. Hmm. What, then, does that say about pro-sharding and what it would do to Vanilla WoW?
Weâve been down this road before with over a decade of changes and making Vanilla WoW more convenient. The conveneince you asked for, you got. For me, I LOST THE GAME I LOVED.
Please STOP trying to change the game I loved and just let them restore it.
I donât want Vanilla WoW to be more convenient for me. I want to play in a community, with friends. Not randomized ghosts who phase and in out of my shard. If I have to wait to login, I wil - just like we did before in Vanilla.
I donât want Vanilla WoW to give me perfectly balanced populations on perfectly balanced realms. I want to establish roots in my hometown realm. If I donât like it, Iâll pay a few dollars and find a new home - just like we did in Vanilla.
I donât want Vanilla WoW to be ANYTHING other that Vanilla WoW.
If you want changes to the Vanilla gameplay, play the latest expansion.
What I think made old World of Warcraft great was the sense of communityâŚ

Lol. I think i actually laughed out loud reading this post. Kinda sad.
If you donât know or understand how sharding actually works or what it does. Dont say anything.
If you dont know how sharding would work in classic theoretically. Donât say anything.
If you donât have data, donât talk as if you do.
Is there any reason to suspect that the people on the forums are not at least somewhat representative of the opinions the entire potential player base has?
A majority of people on the forums agreeing with something is reasonably likely to mean a majority of players agree with it.
Yes, we do. No, you donât.
What does what he said have anything to do with private servers? Stop trolling.
How is it a false upvote?
Yes, a minority of players visit the forums, but that doesnât mean the opinions of the players on the forums is necessarily leaning towards one side.
Thereâs very likely no correlation between being on the forums and thinking sharding is bad. More likely is that lots of people just think sharding is bad, and the small number of people on the forums reflects the opinions of the player base in general.
Most people, even if theyâre against something, are silent.
We know exactly how it works. Thatâs why we donât want it in Classic.
No one knows. Not even Blizzard. They havenât said definitively what their plans are for it.
Anyone saying otherwise is misinformed or is lying.

No we donât, yes you do.
Also, you canât claim âmajorityâ anything, but go ahead and try.
Also, arenât you one of those that have said they donât trust Blizzard? If thatâs they case, why are you here trolling instead of playing competing companiesâ games?
They literally saidâŚif they were to use sharding it would only be in the starting area.
Clearly the person saying âwe want Xâ was talking about themselves and other people who want X.
I literally can. A majority of people agreed with the OP over Dirtytape.
Yep.
One, Iâm not trolling. Having discussions is not trolling.
Two, I donât have to trust Blizzard to be interested in a potential product theyâre offering. I liked vanilla far more than I like BfA, so Iâm obviously interested in Classic, seeing as itâs meant to be a recreation of vanilla. Hell, the fact I donât trust Blizzard is why I want no changes; I donât trust Blizzard to make the right changes, so Iâd rather they make none.
Three, who says Iâm not playing competing companiesâ games? I havenât given Blizzard my money in quite a while, and Iâve been playing OSRS instead. If Blizzard decides to offer a game Iâm interested in playing, Iâll consider giving them my money once again.
Like I said⌠misinformed or lying. Go listen to what they said again. Youâll note they never said what theyâll be doing; only what theyâre considering.
No definitive answer regarding sharding has been given.
This proves nothing. Did they approve of the concept? Or the way it was presented? or the person themselves? You can prove literally nothing by counting likes.
If you donât trust Blizzard, yet youâre here attacking peopleâs opinions, then yes. You are doing the very definition of trolling. If you donât trust a company, then you simply move on. Classic will not be for you, or anyone else that doesnât trust Blizzard. Please leave it for those of us that do trust them, and appreciate them for giving us the old world back.

Youâre really stretching for an explanation that doesnât make your argument look weak, huh?
Sure, someone totally disagreed with the OP but liked their post because they thought their butt looked cute. Spare me.
âAttackingâ peopleâs opinions. Haha.
Also, how is trusting Blizzard at all related to discussion with players? Players arenât Blizzard.
Uh, no. Maybe you should look up the definition of trolling. Trolling is doing things to elicit an emotional response for personal amusement. Iâm not here to get emotional responses; Iâm here to discuss things.
Not really. I donât trust the government, but I still pay my taxes. I donât trust the banks, but I still have a bank account.
Why is trusting Blizzard a prerequisite to playing Classic? That makes no sense.
Oh, I want the old world back. Thatâs why I oppose sharding, actually.
Iâm not going to bother to break down all the insults and ad hominems.
If you donât want sharding, log in 2 weeks after the game releases and in the meantime drink a mug of concrete to harden up.

If you donât want to deal with competition, log in 2 weeks after the game releases and in the meantime drink a mug of concrete to harden up.
You are 100% correct, and anyone that might try to say the opposite is absolutely trolling. (I would expect a certain couple posters to post exactly that.)
Like you claim the majority of Classic⢠Community is toxic and worse than retail?

That is proven more and more every day by posters such as yourself.
But then, my claim isnât based on likes (that can be manipulated using alts.)
Nope, just an assumption.

That people are proving is fact every day. But please, keep denying what is being shown if it makes you feel better about yourself.
By the way, please drink responsibly.
You mean the minority on the forum? Whatever helps you stick to a bias narrative, I suppose.

You say minority because it suits your bias, but whatever helps you feel better about the way you treat others.
Again, please watch the number of martinis you consume. It isnât healthy,.
Do you honestly believe the majority of the Classic⢠community is actively posting on this forum?
