I hate blizzard

Yeah because the initial launch had more players than they had expected and still a lot more the they expect.
Does my server suck? It has its problems, but also its perks. Itâs a Full server (during peak hours). It has to go back to Layering, because if the game isnât doing it automatically, people are finding some way to abuse it. It would be nice to know why every zone is suddenly seeing such reduced activity. I can only surmise it has something to do with Layering.
They can get rid of layering but if Blizzard does then they need to adjust respawn timers appropriately so that 3 parties of 5 people arenât fighting for 5-7 minute spawns and starving for kills.
Server pop has to be really low to have no layers, Earthfury has atleast 2 even when the server is listed as âlowâ.

Because then there would be need for even more transfers and new realms. Not enough people have quit as predicted.
Imagine 30,000 more people flooding the forums complaining to add layering back or increase realm population caps because the QQâs are too big.
I feel ya, Layering sucks.

You might be on the bottom end of the level bubble.
No, they really dont need to be low pop at all, faerlina and herod as example, will have huge pops for a very long time. Do you expect layering to remain forever?
It will have to go at some point. Or should they just drag phase one out until people quit?
It would seem Blizzard may have an overpopulation issue.

Layering wouldnât be so bad if it wasnât so easy to exploit. Iâd say a good solution is to remove it but significantly speed up respawns in the open world.
No its always bad. Anything that does not force people to interact with each other (wether in pvp or pve) is harmful to a MMO. I understand that sometimes its better to have some distance but hey you can always log out. I have a hard time on my server to make a mortal horde enemy. Something I usually have by the time I am lvl 30.
In fact I am only now starting to get to know my alliance peers and its only because its always the same people spamming the same UBRS/strat dungeon.
An unlayered server is supposed to allow you to meet peers of your level consistently while you either level in the world or do dungeons. Thanks to layering all you do is meet fresh faces over and over, one drone looking like the next.
Its a terrible mechanic that has been predict exactly the way it turned out to be and the worst part is that Blizzard could have easily avoided the issue with either dynamic respawns or more un-layered servers at the launch with the âpromiseâ to merge should the need arise.

Layering does not affect queues. Jesus Christ this has been repeated 5000 times now.

So they had no foresight to expect the unexpected. This isnât anything new and frankly I donât think they care. Theyâre wanting people to jump over to BFA and spend money in their shop because thatâs all that matters anymore. They donât care how popular their game is or how many people play it or how good or bad it is. All they care about is getting players to buy their tokens and mounts and boosts and everything else they throw on the cash shop.
Thatâs it. Period.
A company that actually gave a fck how good their game was would have had a much different launch. A company that actually gave a fck would have already said, âPhase 2 is dropping on such and such a date. Players have the option to take advantage of a free transfer or sit in a log in queue when phase 2 drops.â
Itâs not hard. Itâs not hard to have a schedule for releasing phases (and ffs why wouldnât you???) Itâs not hard to have a plan for over populated servers. Itâs not hard to have a plan for under populated servers.
Blizzard has a long history of making stupid decisions and the reasons for those decisions is money and incompetence. Thereâs nothing else left.
If they didnât know that layering would lead to exploiting or that layering would adversely affect the economy or WPvP, then not only are they incompetent but illiterate as well.
There were tons of vids and posts on the forums demonstrating every adverse affect layering would have on the game. Sometimes followed by someone saying, âBlizzard is fixing this,â or âDo you think Blizzard wonât fix this before Classic releases?â
Itâs like they donât even know what company their talking about.

I quit WoW years ago along with millions of others. We quit because we were unsatisfied with the game. We donât like the changes, we donât like the modern game and we certainly donât like sycophants who roll over and accept the scraps Blizzard throws at them.
We didnât come back for stupid unauthentic crap like layering.
Go away.
They said Phase 2, not 2 weeks.
He said the first few weeks. Those words literally came out of his mouth on camera.

Can you read? Weâre talking about realms having no layers NOW, for that to happen the population has to be incredibly low, even realms that show âlowâ have 2 layers.
