You clearly review/participate (selectively) on your official forums (only when beneficial for you, not us), so here’s to hoping it’s enough to see this post/deem it beneficial for Blizzard to respond. To that end, can you at least acknowledge whether or not you see server population as a problem and/or if you are actively working on a solution for it? It would be helpful for the community to know where Blizzard is at with this and I REALLY don’t think it’s too much to ask.
“No, we don’t see this as a problem and we are not actively working on it.”
“Yes, we see this as a problem and we are not actively working on it.”
“Yes, we see this as a problem and we are actively working on it.”
I even prefilled some generic responses in my request for you to use…
Blizzard will not answer questions about server pops. There were posts on the TBCC forums for 5 months about servers that were healthy for 1.5 years throughout Classic dying. Blizzard took months to do or say anything and servers keep dying.
I don’t really care about your opinion, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
I’m also well aware of Blizzard’s tendencies as they relate to transparency and timely action. I simply have four days left in my canceled sub and figured maybe, MAYBE (snowballs chance in hell), they’ll say or do something that would break from their norm.
Again, and I’m sorry to be the individual who doesn’t feed into your attention seeking tactics, I don’t care what you have to say. You aren’t the person/entity that this post is addressed to, why are you providing your unwarranted feedback? If I wanted your opinion, I’d ask for it.
This problem solves itself. I’ve been back for two weeks. My old server has 300 people on it too low to do anything. My new server has 17k and I can’t do a quest without dying 30 times or having the goal of every quest ninja’d by my fellow horde. I’ve been on a couple of hours this morning and haven’t accomplished a thing because I keep getting killed by groups of ally who hit me every time I’m mid battle then I have to run half a zone to rez and get killed again. Even got killed half health with rez sickness outside the base trying to escape to another zone to quest where I subsequently got murdered many times trying to quest there. So I will take my money elsewhere. THAT is the solution. You don’t like what they’re doing this is how a free economy works. Take your money and put it towards a more responsive platform. I pay to have fun. I am no longer having fun so I will stop paying.
Yes, I’m aware that we all have the option to stop paying for a game that we aren’t enjoying - I’ve exercised that option. However, I am still asking Blizzard to address a seemingly obvious problem (deemed a problem by most of the community, forgo the forum trolls who would have you believe otherwise) publicly and in a timely manner.
Will they read the post? Likely.
Will they respond? Unlikely.
Was this a wasted effort? Perhaps.
Not being transparent about a problem that impacts one’s enjoyment of the game which leads to canceled subscriptions is not a good way to maximize profits. Admitting there is a problem and working (or planning) to solve it would be a step in the right direction though.
Yeah, this was part of it. They also removed PVP servers with Warmode.
That was sort of my point. If they have solutions in future iterations, then it’s probably something they figure they have enough reason to have allocated resources towards designing and implementing them.
