dat feel when melee attacks are further range than cone of cold
dat feel when your 100 vs 100 guild battle isn’t possible because raid #2 is in a completely different shard/layer
dat feel when people exploit layering to farm Tidal Charms
dat feel when it’s impossible to deadzone kite a warrior
dat feel when you’re trying to gank someone and they disappear into another layer
dat feel when mages swap layers every 10 minutes to ez aoe level
dat feel when world pvp is essentially destroyed because there will be alliance favored layers and horde favored layers instead of a constant struggle
Yet leeway was supposibily in vanilla? #NoChanges?
Also people need to stop complaining about layering. It will only last for like a month or two. Its not like it will be part lf the entire Classic life cycle.

Leeway is from vanilla. If you are a “no changes” guy, which it certainly sounds like you are, then you should be supporting leeway.
layering/sharding ruins the entire point of the game, it essentially turns “World of Warcraft” into “Worlds of Warcraft”
They said they were only going to use it in the first few weeks. If you had played in the stress you’d probably agree the noob zones were incredibly overcrowded.
I don’t have a problem with layering until the first wave of leveling is over. Too many people, not enough mobs to go around.
am i the only one that’s content with an overcrowded clown fiesta and queues?
layering defeats the entire purpose of the game (player connections, pvp) not to mention will destroy the economy

People act like layering is some permanent feature.
That takes a heavy amount of coordination on both sides. If someone can actually coordinate a hundred people in the same guild who are all busy leveling and spread out across the world into a battle that big, they can easily coordinate 3 people on each side from the same layer to invite everyone into their raid groups to get everyone on the same side. Not that I see this happening in the first few week when everyone is busy leveling.
If Blizzard confirm it was in vanilla it should stay in classic. Whatever wasn’t should not be in Classic. Simple as that.
Scarcity of resources, including mobs/xp, is literally the point of Classic.
I’ve loved it then, and i really miss it now that we haven’t had that in WoW for so long.
When there were some really big crowds on the stress test, it made me remember why i loved WoW so much back then. I knew it was just a temporary crowd, and for that i really enjoyed it!
This is what stood out to me the most when i played on the last 2 stress tests:
the Sass Sisters, the Omar devotees and sacrificial lambs, the fellow Northshire Valley travelers who randomly traded me useful items they didn’t need, the people i ran into on a road in Elwynn Forest randomly starting to interact with me in fun ways, getting through Fargodeep mine madness by having our group turn into a group therapy to make sure we can make it through there with our sanity intact, saving a mage from sure death by defias thieves, …
When wow goes live, it’s so important the same people get to see each other over and over again during the leveling phase, so they can experience the community full on all the way to 60, the way it was intended by the game.
I really hope they’ll allow the game to just do it’s magic trick, and let the organization remain outside of the game to support it in doing that. They’ve got all the tools they need to pull it off.
