Layers is terrible and if all we get is one megaserver per server type with layers for TBC I’m so done with this game

That is all you’ll get. Blizz has abandoned any pretense of creating a quality experience. It’s nothing but what is cheapest and easiest for them.

It’s always off topic with you.
It’s against TOS to derail threads and insulting Blizzard is also against TOS.
Do better.
what about the sad desperate players who don’t want to play on retail megalayer zone where people constantly teleport in and out of existence 
yeah there is zero chance TBC is gonna suddenly create more servers lol enjoy
First of all, retail doesn’t have layering. Layering is specific to classic. Retail has phasing, which is far far inferior mechanic.
Second, people don’t teleport in and out of existence. I have been force layered like 5 times my entire classic career, but people pretend it happens constantly. Everyone reading knows it is annoying, but also knows that it is very rare.
Retail has sharding. Phasing is something different. It has that too, but it has nothing to do with what is being talked about. It’s done when the world changes due to certain quests or events.
And I saw plenty of people appear and disappear on Anniversary.

need more layers with more we could spread out the playerbase
also could have a feature “saying auto layering in 60 seconds click to cancel” so ppl dont get booted out of what they want

Agree. Layering sucks. It should definitely be better tuned to not do this to people fighting mobs
leaning even more into layer culture is not the answer

There are a lot of positives to layering.
So far while levelling I have not been yeeted out of an ongoing fight, in fact I have only noticed layer changes when joining parties
But!
What I have noticed is this
And my first thought was that I wish there were MORE layers, because the spawn rate was awful

Yeah, what’s worse is that people are so passive aggressive and greedy, especially on Dreamscythe, actively tagging the mobs from right under your nose, or stealing your ore veins while you’re fighting the mob nearby. And why shouldn’t they be? There are so many players that reputation doesn’t matter.

I would have agreed with you a few weeks ago, but the higher level the zone the more it happens (for me at least). It’s like every 10 minutes in some zones for me now.
“Normal” servers have less people. In my times playing on high pop servers this was only an issue with brand new content like a new zone, even then everyone grouped up and it was generally more fun anyways.
Yup, welcome to Megaservers.

Except merges like these always cause problems with both names and economies.
Better to deal with it from the start than force merges on people later.
Yep.
Everyone on the same server is great.
The game still feels as alive as it did on day 1.
no such issue with the classic era connected realms solution
