I got ganked on my alt, wanted to gank back… however it would appear my alt was on a different layer… so i was denined justice as the gankers were on the same layer as my alt…
Didnt want to have to get my alt invited to a group and then my main invited to same group to jump layers…
Incorrect. It is hard confirmation that in any and all Q&A’s, blue posts, and other communications that it will be removed BY phase 2. If they don’t, that will have been a lie, but it is official confirmation until then.
In some of the interviews I’ve seen, they always seemed very wishy-washy with the whole layering thing which is why I’m not too confident to say it’s a hard confirmation.
But maybe I missed some of those posts where they confirmed that they were going to remove it by then. I hope you’re right.
The whole plan/promise of by Phase 2 was made with an anticipation of a rapid drop-off in population. Once that actually happens, expect to see layering gone. Until then, unlikely.
This is the latest official word we’ve seen on it:
From Pazorax, Lead Software Engineer:
[Q: What are plans for phase 2 if some realms are horrifically overpopulated at 50K+ players? Will layering stay? ] https://old.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/ct08c7/welcome_to_the_rclassicwow_subreddit_ama_with_the/exi3y2l/?context=3
A: We’re absolutely committed to reaching one layer per realm by Phase 2.

Sorry the formatting is weird… it’s due to my trust level not being high enough.
