They actually updated this a couple years ago - the ONLY family member you can account share with is 1 minor child (your child, not just any kid) per account. Married partners account sharing used to be kosher but no longer.

I thought laying was limited to starting zones?
Right. At which point the question becomes, “what’s the damage?” I think you might have a strong case for economic disruption, but multiboxers are capable of similar effects. You also have long histories stretching back of roommates swapping out to help one another farm consumables for raids in the days of yore.
I’m somewhat of the opinion that, so long as account security is intact, there isn’t really much wrong with people even going so far as to take shifts. But I also feel that even without taking shifts, there’s always going to be something suspect in the folks that bumrush world first max level. Sortof like fencing.
There’s also a bit of a distinction with the Saronite example, since that gave a clear mechanical edge to the people doing it. This guy still has to manually AOE everything himself.
Dod Blizzard ban anyone who server hopped to farm mobs in legion like the falcosaurs or some other areas?
The guy is a scumbag so don’t advertise his stuff.
Layering is the entire map.
Lol he said he’s account sharing “with his brother ricardo” as in Ricardo Milo which is the guy he uses as twitch avatar.
He was joking.

Question somewhat related to layering: Is the respawn rates on mobs higher due to layering with so many players in the world? I wont try to claim my memory of vanilla was spotless, but it seems like mobs spawn in so fast in classic.

I believe they confirmed there was some degree of dynamic respawn rate. Not as dramatic as pservers, but still noticeable.
So this means we are getting higher respawns than vanilla due to the extra player load of a layered server compared to an old school 3k sever?
In an area with high traffic and kill rates, I assume so. I would imagine this is something they’ll ease off as the population starts to fan out as opposed to forming 40 different parties to try to kill named NPCs.
There were so many threads telling Blizzard this would happen and the only thing they did was add a bit of delay to being able to switch layers.
Can someone please explain how being dedicated enough to learn how layering works, and using it to your advantage is grounds for a Ban? Honestly, what is game breaking about this? He’s one mage, on one server. Completely irrelevant. There is a common theme to this forum, people fussing just to cause a fuss.
That delay is almost nonexistent lol

It’s a fair question but there is only one question that really matters.
Is it exploitation?
I don’t see how it’s an exploit. He is using game mechanics to his advantage. Blizzard added layering, he has no ability to control that.
Players choosing to engage with the new features added to this version is not bannanble. We’ve all been ‘exploiting’ the insanely respawns.
Exploitation would be discovering a way to swap layers faster than Blizzard intended and using it to your advantage.
Jokerd is doing nothing that was technically unintended, he’s just doing the best he can do with the mechanics the devs gave us.
