The Flaws of Sharding

Sharding does fix these issues and your viewpoint doesnt make any sense.


Sharding (if we assume it limited to same server sharding only as theyve stated) doesn't solve these issues of inter-server population imbalance. The only thing it really does is let you have a higher pop cap more 'comfortably'.

What I'd like to do is have blizzard flesh out what cap they can accommodate from a purely technical standpoint without sharding. It seems to me Blizzard is mainly worried about the player experience aside from stability - which I hope the weight of feedback will dissuade them of.
