Open Question: An Alternative to Queues?

And then all these people saying yes to layers will be the ones complaining that people are abusing layers, that they don’t get their world buffs because it didn’t drop in their layer, that people avoids pvp by switching layers, etc… Splitting the world in 2 is terrible for Classic. I understand you guys want to play but think about that it also means to add layers back… It was a necessity at launch but there has to be a better option now.

Also balancing servers like Skeram with 98% horde and 2% alliance would be nice.

YES please add layers back for the queue servers ASAP. Whitemane is unplayable right now, and transferring to another server might end up in some of us just quitting.

The economy arguments are obviously from people cornering the black lotus market and exploiting it for high prices.

2 or 3 is doesn’t matter. Make it happen. It’s way better than not doing it.

Please bring back layering temporarily. Im on Faerlina and the queues have been up to 3 hours some days the past few weeks, spiking that high on the weekends for sure. With a few guilds already leaving the server to escape the queue and having the transfers to the server being locked hasnt helped as much as I thought it would. This temporary fix would be much appreciated until everything goes back to normal.

Yes please! Layer whitemane asap. Queues starting at 2pm est are not fun.

My Guild has had to struggle to get our guildies online and ready for Raid due to increasing queue times. Lots of people still working from home and it would be a huge help to reintroduce layering back into wow!

Playing on whitemane with 5hr+ queues is absolutely destroying the game for many. Having to log on at 2pm for an 8pm raid is ridiculous. I don’t even try to play the game on other days except to get world buffs. Black lotus and world bosses are already camped 24/7 so increasing their spawn amount with layers will not affect the majority of players. Lotus is 220g+ as well which is ridiculous.

Faction. Specific. Queues.

Please give us people remaining on incendius (which is now completely screwed for one faction because of your first solution) an apology.

Absolutely not. Multiple world bosses has serious implications.

Easy, turn on the layers.

Yes. Please temporarily add layering during this time. 5+ hour queues are horrible to try to play around. -Whitemane-

Feel betrayed that you are only now opening this up as a possibility after we’ve been dealing with these queues for a number of weeks and make it feel like migration was our only option.

… Wow

I am fine with 2 Layers time to lower the que times during this time.

Hell yeah, bring them back these queue’s are kinda nutso and it wasn’t that bad to begin with all these people complaining about the “economy” are clueless

Yes, I wouldn’t mind in the slightest if it allowed people to actually play the game. In fact, when layers were taken off Herod, a lot of people quit due to both queues and not having enough resources for the playerbase of that server.

I think it isn’t amazing, but I would so much rather have another layer than have to wait three to four hours in queue.

Would rather not, just going to hurt the auction house along with other issues layering brought with it.
