Sharding is about trust

They want sharding in the starter zones so it does not crash the server
where NO ONE gets to play (i.e the big group of level ones protesting a ban, as
well as too many people in any zone in any game).
They have already said sharding everywhere will not work due to some events
and situations that would be ruined.


If it is only for a "limited time in the starting zones" as Blizzard "claims", then any "big group of level ones protesting a ban" would most likely never be affected by sharding, since most "big group of level ones protesting a ban" will be "protesting that ban" LONG AFTER that "limited time" and sharding was "turned off".

Similarly, the opening of the AQ gates or Tarren Mills/ Southshore battles should never be sharded as they do not happen in a starting zone (you know, the zones to which Blizzard is "claiming" that sharding will be limited)

The same goes for any other zone with a "high population".

Are you saying that Blizzard is not being honest with us when they claim that sharding will be limited to the starting zones and only for the first <insert number here> of weeks?


The main issue is you're saying "Will" when they said "considering"
