Yes they do…
They literally allow more people to be playing at the same time.

I thought layering was bad though?
Couldn’t play with friends properly, abuse of economy, not seeing everyone in capitals all at once, etc.
Lol it’s more that people are realizing layering addressed a very real issue.

Nothing else to do while I sit in a multi hour queue besides complain about it on the forums.

I was always in support of layering with less servers. Players kept crying it destroys the “classic experience”.
Just a food for thought - queues were also in Classic.
all these comments are of people who don’t have queues, blizzard needs to either bring layering back or free transfers because 5-6 hour queues is stupid. maybe just bring layering on the over populated servers idk but do something.

Layering does not directly increase server capacity; this is true. But layering can be used to temporarily increase server capacity. They could temporarily double the server capacity by adding a second layer to that server.
Y’all have a 5 hour queue right now?
That’s honestly kind of insane.
Yes, layering will make a ton more room…from people quiting!

people are already quitting due to queues. the number of people offended enough by layers to quit over it is far less than you think.
Blizzard’s fault for allowing so many xfers.
Also for allowing free xfers off certain realms for certain factions causing players to want to switch.
Also for even using much larger server capacity.
Also for not using a better server system from the start.
Current Q problems stem from the same thing I said would happen long before launch and would’ve been fixed if they used a server spawn system instead.
It’s an unfortunate example of them bringing out two solutions that worked together to ruin the game.
With layering, there was no reason for so many more servers to come out, or for there to be such long queues early on. Imagine if instead of having 20 or so NA servers, we had 10. 1 RP, 1 RP pvp, 2 pve, 6 pvp. Instead of having a dozen pvp servers, 6 dead, 3 dying, 3 overcrowded, we’d have 6 full servers.
6 full servers means people aren’t leaving them, so they just remain as is. But 3 overfull servers, 6 dead and 3 dying means we now have 3 viable servers, and 9 servers looking to move to another server- and of course, if you’re on a dead server payign 25 bucks to leave it, are you going to move to another dead server?
Of course not- you’re going to go to WM, Fae, Incend. Result? Most of the servers are dying, and everyone leaving is crowding the ones that look like they’ll survive to Naxx.
They released way too many servers early on and didn’t account for the massive drop off we’d have from people finding out they didn’t like Vanilla, and those that we lost in phase 2 to wpvp.
Oh so this is the day one complaint “i rolled on the highest pop server” “WHY ARE THE QUEUES ARE LONG?!” . Should have rolled on a good size server and not bandwagoned onto highest pop ones. Kurinnaxx no queue since day one. Good population.

No…layering just helps to de-congest high populated areas of the world. It doesn’t literally increase the population cap.
I dont. I havent seen queues bigger than 100 people.
