Layer switching is the problem, not layering itself

lol. i am just killing time waiting for the gear my shaman just made my baby hunter to arrive so i can equip it and then grind to 10 to get his pet. i am just chillin.

Make me laugh. Tell me what your experience in software development is and how fast you think is normal for a fix this scale to be created, tested, sandboxed and QA checked then deployed across a large cloud infrastructure.

Thank you, that was a helpful and reassuring response. :grinning:

People pointed out how exploitable layering was MONTHS AGO, and proved it during the beta.

arm chair critics running off at the mouth. i expect a “BLIZZ IS A MUTLI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHY AREN’T THEY THROWING MONEY/MAN POWER AT X” at some point in this thread. lol

So forums blew something out of proportion again??

People like you are the problem, thinking that Blizzard will intentionally lie to the players. Just because you don’t like what you hear, or things don’t get done the way you want when you want means Blizzard is lying or incompetent. If they were they wouldn’t still be one of the top game developers.

those were obviously faked, as admitted above, but they also admitted people are exploiting it. so yeah.[quote=“Argorwal-ysera, post:242, topic:286941, full:true”]

and yet blizzard has admitted they were right about people exploiting it, and that it would be getting nerfed.

They used to be more communicative and direct but them a lot of players took things said during development to be gospel or they overreacted and over analyzed every single word.

lol, soo toxic, i never stated they lied, but gave useful information, go back under your bridge

Uh, I didn’t reply to you?

But not to the point that it’s going to break the economy. If you just read here, you would think 3/4 of every server are layer hopping.

if it wasn’t an issue they wouldn’t be fixing it. clearly it’s enough to have an impact.
yeah obviously forums blows everything out of proportion, but it is clearly detrimental and a problem.

Did I say it wasn’t an issue? I just said it wasn’t to the point the hundred threads made it out to be.

Sure but they also pointed out that people are grossly over exaggerrating or flat out lying about the actual impact that it’s having on the economy. So the nerfs seem more aimed at people who trying to tag rare spawns or what not.

“Blow out of proportion” doesnt mean “didnt happen”

Just that it wasnt happening to anywhere near the extent that was being cried about, with some using blantant fake info.

Basically they said its a minor issue, and we are gonna take some quick minor changes to try and curb some of the worst examples of it but its not some crazy problem or they would have acted much sooner and much more drastically if what people were saying resembled reality.

Whole lotta cops in this thread.

i mean the forums has always blown stuff out of proportion.
remember all the people who said classic would need LFD or no one would run dungeons?
remember all the people who said we needed class balance or no one would play hybrids?

you mean like all the people who wanted to change classic because no one owuld play hybrids or no one would be able to run dungeons without LFD, or no one would have fun with the old style of play?[quote=“Argorwal-ysera, post:253, topic:286941, full:true”]

kind of like all the pro changers claims that the game needed this or that or it would fail?
