Transfers and Queues

[Niia-whitemane]

As evidenced by their populations. Just as most people tend to prefer living in larger cities (as evidenced by their popualtions).

However, I absolutely do not need a citation for a statement that is prefaced with “ in my perspective ,” as this clearly is.

your perspective is quite frankly, delusional. no one enjoys queues. period.

[Niia-whitemane]

Why do you think players are willingly transferring to a server with a 4 hour queue?

Because this time last month, these servers didnt have these types of queues.

your perspective is quite frankly, delusional.

I think you’re reading something into what I’ve stated that isn’t what was intended

[Niia-whitemane]

I think you’re reading something into what I’ve stated that isn’t what was intended

You said, verbatim:

most people on servers with queues, prefer them .

Which is simply untrue. No one prefers a queue.

[Frosto-faerlina]

No one prefers a queue.

I suppose we could argue reading comprehension, but I’d prefer not to argue

[Niia-whitemane]

Or perhaps you’ve simply done a poor job articulating your message?

[Frosto-faerlina]

you’ve simply done a poor job

Sure. Point the finger at others.

[Niia-whitemane]

Sure. Point the finger at others.

Enlighten me then - what were you attempting to say with this?

most people on servers with queues, prefer them .

You were saying they prefer the queues, but also that they dont prefer the queues?

[Frosto-faerlina]

what were you attempting to say with this?

Quite literally, exactly what is stated; it is not trick-wording.

[Niia-whitemane]

so… i didnt misinterpret it at all, then. And you are simply incorrect. Again, no one prefers a queue.

Tranfers are an option that was enabled. Expecting that this option be governed to your specific expectations isnt realistic. Not arguing that queues can be a pain, but this was a player created issue. People knew the server was high/full and still continue to transfer to it. How is this Blizzard’s fault? Their server still functions, and people complaining here continue to pay/sub. Yes, it sucks for people who were on the server originally, but aim your hate at those that transferred over ignoring the capacity information available to them.

Remember that “full” isnt based on a set number. It is a status relative to other server populations. So a server is never full.

You realise that people would stop buying transfers off these full realms due to being happy on the first realm they transfer to, right? $50 > $25. Blizzard is a corporate business, not a charity.

[Niia-whitemane]

People knew the server was high/full and still continue to transfer to it.

Thats the problem. Why are transfers still enabled on full servers?

transfers have a 90 day cooldown, bud.

[Frosto-faerlina]

Anyway, I’ll assume you’re literate, and are just looking for an argument.

I’ve stated my opinion. You’ve stated yours. Fair enough.

[Niia-whitemane]

what did i not comprehend? You said players on servers with queues prefer the queues.

[Lgbtqiapravi-incendius]

I don’t think Blizz cares that much if they get their money immediately or 90 days later.

[Lgbtqiapravi-incendius]

Waiting in a queue is a very small price to pay for a server as good as Incendius.

[Reji-nerzhul]

Why wouldnt they be? People quit/break/comeback at random making it impossible to predict consistent volume of accounts/players. You want them to predict exactly what queue times might be based on trend analysis of peak times and make what cut-off decision? What happens when they lock down at full status and ppl continue to quit? What restores the population and keeps it decent? You are blasting off “fix it I’m mad!” but suggesting no logical solutions.

[Niia-whitemane]

… if a server is listed in the realm list as full, blizzard has data to make that distinction. Server listed as full? Transfers closed. This really isnt anywhere near the complicated mystery you seem to believe it is.
