Open Question: An Alternative to Queues?

Today has proven that we need layers back more than ever.

10+ servers have massive queues.

Those arguing against adding layering back are mostly people on low pop servers who wont even be impacted by this change.

If they scaled the resource population 3x to 4x, iā€™d still be against layers.

Itā€™s not really a Classic experience without a long queue time every now and then, is it?

Every now and then single nightā€¦ Looking at 3 hours right now.

You guys putting layers back in or not? Donā€™t activate layers after the surge is almost over.

Layering was truly unfair and will only give more gold farmers and lotus farmers an excuse to expand their already unfair operations. No to layering.

Yeah, to hell with people being able to log on and play at all! Donā€™t want to give farmers more chance at gold, even though it would certainly drop the prices on these things!

thanks for that insight, neet.

Iā€™m not against layering. Server queues will lead to subscription loss. We now have 2+ hr queues on Sulfuras. We didnt have them before you opened realm transfers to us. Not acceptable. Either offer free transfers or enable layering.

turn it on or open more free transfers, 2.5 hr queue time tonight is insane!

i think opening free transfers from the full pop realms to low or medium pop realms would fix the issue, also layering on those realms might also help. currently on herod there is a 6 hour queue at 388 minutes. kind of ridiculous

Transfers are already active.

Youā€™re just not going to get that many people to transfer and leave their guild and friends for a low pop server.

5-6 hour queue on whitemaneā€¦yeah I think you need to bring back layers this is insane

fwiw
my realm has no login queue
and i still say temporarily enable layering on the realms that need it.
It is no fun for anyone to sit in queue for 5 hours to not even get to play.

layering already exists, does not need to be developed or anything, just needs to be turned on basically, it can go back off when things return back to normal.

Someoneā€™s ability to play at all or nor, trumps what ever grumblings you have about maybe not being able to corner the market on some weed that grows in the game world.

dont like farmers?
Well you already know how to put them out of business.

Should have implemented layering before ZG opening. Approx 6 hour queue on whitemane just to enjoy the content. Get your ---- together, these queues have been going on for almost a month now. Thatā€™s more than enough time to enact an effective solution.

Layering never bothered me, so Iā€™d be glad to have it back if it meant I could log in whenever I wanted in the evenings.

YES, add a layer or put in a faction based queue. 139 min queue time, to have the ZG entrance stacked with 100ā€™s of horde players griefing the few alliance players that got thru the queue.
