Now that we lost layers I literally can’t do anything for gathering or dailies. Add layers back or fix the spawn rate.
It is broken.

It’s not broken. This is simply one of the cons of playing on a high populated realm.

I can only hope to god that layers are truly gone from the game, but I’ll believe it when i see a blue post about it

Layers are never gone. Consider each server as a layer. Until they make one mega server that we are all in, we are all seperated the same as layering.

Are layers really getting cut or are these people just incapable of layer hopping?
That’s not correct. The difference between layers and realms is you have agency to choose where you are. Layers (and the same issue manifested in retail with CRZ) do not provide you with agency, it rng dumps you on a random layer with a random selection of players who you will not organically see over and over, as each time you load in, you get a different rng roll on the layer and the players you interact with.
So the difference between a layer and a server is that on a server, you interact with the same people repeatedly, if everyone was on the same server, with 30+ layers, you would never interact with the same person again.
Now, if, instead of layers, they had like, dedicated channels or something, and you could manually swap between them at will (with maybe a cooldown to prevent abuse), then I would be more fine with it, becuase I as a player could maintain agency of where I am playing.
This could instead be equally resolved by simply making character transfers free and completely open (though with maybe, an hour cooldown or something), so players could move about and play where they like.
Some of us were here before these servers became megaservers. I for one don’t want to move from grobbulus and lose this name that I reserved during the 2 weeks pre classic launch name reservation.

This is how it should be. It’s what an actual economy is supposed to look like, as opposed to the inflated garbage we were given.

That’s what layers are for…
Servers are not layers. I can play with everyone on different layers on my server.
Actually I rolled on this server on day 1 in 2019.

Yeah that’s not how layers work.
The number of layers and therefore resources is proportional to the number of players, hence no inflation. It’s not like everyone just got their own private layer on demand.

As someone on a mega server, its one of the cons of veing on a mega server. I am here because the social connections i have made are more important to me than being able to play solo in the world as easily.
Pros and cons exist in all things. We dont need the game changed to “fix” this issue. If there was no cons to being on a mega server, everyone woukd be on them.

Yeah u r right they are not the same durrr. Its the effect that i was referring to. But you pointed out ine thing that actually makes layers better. You may not see players in your layer again but woth servers you are GUARANTEED to NEVER see some players. I would rather have the layers since i can at least have a chance to meet ppl. And if i loke them i can friend them and invite them anytime and then YES i will see them again.
The point i was trying to make is exactly what you use as a cimplaint of layers. I am pointing out the hypocracy if it. Ppl claim they dont like layers because they may not see some of the people. Yet they are fine with being permanently seperated by servers. Lol. Just shows ppl look for anything to whine about.

I know. It was a comparison. I like layers. I dont like seperating ppl by servers.

Hopefully not! Azeroth was never developed with most servers having 5k+ players, let alone with this percentage of mid maxers.
Except that isn’t the same as layering because you can’t group with anyone from other realms except in BGs.
Its not hypocrisy, its a difference of values. I value consistency in the world I play in, not the quantity of people. To claim hypocrisy on my part, you had to assume my values, and you know what they say about assumptions.

Player made problem, transfer to a low pop server then you’ll have all the mats and mobs you can want on a diamond encrusted platinum plater made a Michelin 5 star chef.

Except you’ll have all those mats and mobs with no chance of getting a dungeon or raid gorup.
