So I know in order to balance Warmode they made it to where other players across other servers would merge into one zone to equal out any imbalance (cough, it didn’t work) but that’s not why I’m posting this. I’m posting this cuz I’m leveling up outside of WM and I see ALL these people from all these servers. Now about now I’m pretty sure people are thinking “why is this a bad thing”? Its bad… no it’s HORRIBLE, cuz i’m wasting so much time just sitting here waiting for quest mobs to respawn. There is so many people and the respawn rate is so slow that it’s making my leveling experience frustrating. Even more, the zone lag is horrid, I find myself having to server hop to a RP server with my alt account just to level. When did this even get implemented?! Just a few months ago, if even, this was NOT like this! I should only see people from my server and my sister server unless I have Warmode on. sigh
Been that way for a long time.
Cross realm zones were added in… I want to say Cataclysm.
Edit-
Seems it was MoP. Cata added cross realm grouping.
To this effect??? I’m seeing so many people in these zones from so many different servers. I have level’d several alts in the last few months and not until now have I noticed this much activity. In the past I was even able to level w/ WM on, I can’t… no I WON’T now. The amount of 120s in these zones just trolling people is unreal. But that’s WM, this is non-WM, I cannot recall ever seeing so many people in zones like this.
I remember when they said that CRZ was only going to be for old content and that you would only see people from your own server in current content unless they joined you in the group finder.
I remember when Blizzard used to be cool
I don’t remember that being said at all. I remember it being said that the purpose of CRZ was to fill empty zones with players to make it feel like an MMO again.
I just stood here for 5 mins waiting on this quest mob to respawn just for a 120 Paladin to 1 shot it before I even got to hit it… feels bad
Yup… It sucks when that happens. When I’m doing old content on 120s, I usually let the low levels tag it once.
Can’t fault players for working on old content achievs.
And I do the same. It’s a good tactic.
I’m not upset w/ the player as much as I’m upset with the system, increase teh respawn rate to match the death rate… something… Anyways, I’m just upset and wanted to vent, nothing will change so i’ma just push threw…
Submit a bug report or something similar. A lot of mobs have had their spawn time reduced drastically.
A 5 minute spawn time is not normal anymore. It should be 30-120 seconds.
