I’ve been checking out the newest private server. (You know what I’m talking about, I won’t say the name) And I don’t get why people don’t just play the official servers? The latency is pretty bad, and when it’s china primetime the latency really shows it’s effect.
Question: Why don’t people just populate the official servers, and prefer the “fresh” private servers? It seems like it would be better for everyone. The difference that I’ve seen is that there’s more bugs with private servers, and a ton of lag.
I don’t really understand this concept. Could you please explain it a bit more? From the way you explained it, it feels like people want the grind, more than the game? Why would people not want to play on a progressed server?
I think it’s about being in the rush if other players. Competing on an even field. So starting fresh on old vanilla would allow other players to already have the gear they’re after, an unfair competition. And fresh progression provides like three or five tiers of fair fields.
Fresh alone has decent population if there’s good changes, unfortunately som had more bad than good changes so phase 1 was the only populated time during its lifetime.
For a lot of people, the whole appeal is trying to be the first to 60, to clear content, or to form a good guild. Or even if its not the whole appeal, it plays a big enough part that they will prefer to play on a server that allows for that.
I honestly think people don’t populate the classic era servers, because they think they will be behind and don’t know if old raids are still being ran. I would love more people on Era because i love to pvp all the time i miss instant ques for AV wsg and AB no matter what time it is. That is the biggest reason i don’t play more.
I played both on Nostalarius and Lighbringer (both private servers) before classic came out. The one thing they were way better than Blizzard on was insta perma banning gold buyers and sellers Plenty of pugs but no gdkps on them If they can do it, why can’t Blizzard?
A lot of the bot’s puppeteers are of course gold sellers, which, as we know are all about maximizing profits and thus spending 15$ to bot farm for a month X however many bots they are running is not cost effective, not at all more so with the price of gold being at an all time low.
The bots blizzard bans (In waves) are the ones playing for free utilizing counterfeit authentication login codes generated by a Keygen made by freelance blackhats. (Allegedly, possibly, did not hear it from me, not that they will ever admit to this, ever)
Blizzard believes bots help stimulate the economy, as, their internal analytics would have them believe their average player, is far to busy, not interested in (Think casual) farming raw materials. They think along the lines of “The AH needs to be well stocked for the economy to be healthy and bots will achieve this”
