Open Question: An Alternative to Queues?

Yes, and would you please do it now. Thank you.

Open up free transfers OFF Earthfury! You screwed up a good server! Get someone who knows what the heck they’re doing with server transfers! You’ve been doing this for over 15 years and you still haven’t figured it out! The screw up of EF would have been a pink slip at my job.

Yes to layering. I waited 4 hours to get in yesterday.

So much this!!! These transfers didn’t simply ruin the economy. They ruined the server community, balance, and wpvp. Does anyone at Blizzard ever think of the consequences of their actions before committing them?!?

Tell that to Earthfury’s transfers. We went from no queue to now an hour queue from 6/7-10/11. I left Herod because of its queues.

Yes to temporary layering!

Anyone else keep getting dropped from queue? :thinking:

I had a 5 hour queue last night (OCE - Arugal), I couldn’t even get into the game until 11pm !!! This is not good enough, why am I paying for a game that I can’t play 5/7 days a week. I have invested time into characters and connected with people socially since the start of WoW Classic, and I now cannot raid with them. All because of a stupid decision that could have easily been avoided by Blizzard. Why would you let people transfer to a full realm, this is SO UNFAIR for the dedicated player base that have been on this server since launch. I understand some of the other servers were low pop, so why not merge them instead of allowing them to join Arugal. You have not solved the issue for the other servers and now ruined the server I play on. Blizzard NEED TO increase server cap, or add layering (or reverse the transfers that have occurred to this server, putting people back where they came from). I don’t care about layering ruining the economy, if anything it will bring prices down. I just want to be able to log in and continue raiding and progressing with my guild. At the moment I cant. Blizzard, omg, LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES please!

Can we get an update on this?

Today on Arugal, queues started before 2pm ST. I logged in at 2:50 ST to a 122 min queue. Now a hour later it has gone down to 102 mins. By 3:30 ST guildies were reporting a 220 min queue.

Anyone against layering at this stage is either not from a full server or is a BL hoarder. I keep seeing comments in here from people saying “the servers are still recovering from layering”. Considering BL is 150 - 200g+ on most servers can you remind me what we are still recovering from?

This was a good read.

Agreed. Those kinds of queues are why I left Herod last year. Now I return to Earthfury tonight and get a queue. The length doesn’t matter. I made the effort to leave a queue heavy server and Blizzard took a crap on it! This company hasn’t learned from mistakes in over a decade. It only cares about one thing, money!

Yes, return layering to extremy high pop servers to balance queues and also rare item supply like black lotuses. Yes yes yes.

Yes layer please, Temporarily until the overwhelming queues will be no longer.
Would much rather be able to play the game and raid content with guild members, rather than setting back raid times and having raiders just completely miss out on attending.

Layering can allow for so much cheating and exploitation. Why can’t you bozos at Blizzard get ahead of this mess and open more servers?

Yes, open new servers now and create a new problem down the road of near dead servers. Great idea.

I would want layering back perma for pagle for herb harvesting. Black lotus have reached 110g and is not showing any sign of going back down and I cant imagine doing aoe farming for that at all.

Otherwise a post ive made I would like others to consider visiting it and leaving their thoughts.

I’ve not heard or seen any examples of the cheating mentioned the one instance it was done it was pounced on instantly. Can you provide any other examples instead of general statements lacking anything cited?

I’m glad to see more communication towards players but this doesn’t need to be asked.

Please act quicker.

You are kidding right? How will 2 layers help when Im 3363rd in queue with an expected wait time of 356 minutes ( almost 6 hours ) [Arugal]
