Weird thought: What if shared subs & layering is Blizzard protecting Classic?

You didn’t read his whole post where he says:

If they are going to play for less than a month, in what sense are they the majority of players? In what way are they even real and meaningful players? (In the context of Classic, specifically; obviously they’re real WoW and real Retail players.)

They are tourists. Yes, tourists are going to temporarily outnumber actual players, no one has an argument about that. But there is no reason to cater to such people.

I don’t know what’s going on in this thread, but for clarification, layering was not a concept that existed in public consciousness at the time I made that post.

So it is true that I was talking about the beta at the time, but it’s also true that I didn’t know layering existed at the time. Back then, we were thinking in terms of “sharding for starting zones”, rather than “layering for a brief period at launch”.
