Tell me please where you play. At my place still every spawn point for Quest mobs has at least one player camping it.
we have 18 layers and 1 AH. all layers funnel down to 1 giant AH.

And thats why theres 50/50 forced faction now.
I was busy enjoying myself on Grobbulus, where it was player made 50/50.
Man I miss Grobbulus.

A layer is roughly the size of what a high pop server had back in the day online at one time.

More like roughly double or triple that.

considering so many of you are too lazy to farm gold, we probably need more layers lol
It died because of layering, and mop is pretty dead anyway
but they had 3 layers on a realm with only 2k+ players on it. One of the reasons i made this thread because I saw what layering did to Grob

You do know the server is probably close to 10x the population as it was back in the day right? Each layer is equivalent to a server in OG TBC.
It’s just that people aren’t sitting in Shatt spamming LFG because we have addons and tools in game to make finding instance groups faster.
They never will understand this man, some of them are just NPC’s here to slop up what ever is being tossed out.
But those of us that were on Grob saw it all go down and before that we saw it go down in SOD when they did it there.

BUT UR IMMERSION!
The only real downside is how hard it seems to be to get the dynamic layer counts “correct”.
If farmable resources have no competition anywhere (many layers), their value tanks, but also that’d mean you spend less on the consumes they make so pretty much net-even while giving everyone an option to do. (Good)
If farmable resources have too much competition (no layers), everyone is broke and bots are rich and everyone is punished for logging in. (Bad)
If you can’t find anyone to do group quests (many layers), that sucks and is very frustrating and worth mentioning is problematic for attunements unless you get guildies to help (Bad) // UNLESS people use the group finder more which for some reason a lot of people avoid? (Good)
No layers would make grouping for group quests easier until you get to the mob and realize there’re 5 other groups all fighting over a tag for it spamming a fire blast target macro praying they get it on the respawn (Very bad)
tl:dr - Layers are W. People are L.
If layers are cancer to the game, then what is herpes to the game?
The players.

I’ve been in a a group a few times running a instance where we were on different layers..
One time was on my Lock, everyone was getting Shards in SL but me…. It was at this point I found out that they were only like layer 3 and I was on layer 5 or something.. We ended up running the entire dungeon that way (FULL RUN)…
I don’t understand how this is possible, but then again I don’t understand stupid and dumb either.
I fixed that for you. 
You so did!
