Quality of life changes would keep people around rather than waiting on TBC to make them…
Reduce the cost to Respec MASSIVELY.
Don’t give me that “Economy” bs excuse either. We had layering ffs with people literally farming all day and night with layer resets. Let people experiment with builds and gear for fun.
Aside from effectively reducing the population, layering honestly didn’t have that much of an effect.
Taking out one of the biggest gold sinks certainly would, though.
This is why we need classic TBC.
Anyone else just skipping over the Tin and Flockett conversations? Get a room you two.
I’ve already told you last time you tried this, you’re not going to get to watch.
Two undead going at it? It’ll just be a pile of bones and parts rattling together and falling off. You couldn’t pay me to be in that room!
You already offered to pay, and were declined
lol are you serious?
Layering has done more damage single handedly to wow economy than any other change in its history.
The economy back then compared to what we got on launch is oranges to apples due to layering exploits.
I could farm Devilsaur without stopping 24/7 with layering
I could reset bosses in dung and farm them over and over and over
I could mine the same node
Pick the same herbs in a zone
Are you serious? was that a troll attempt? Did you not watch streamers exploiting the hell out of layering after we all warned blizzard how it would affect the servers?
Are you telling me that a week after paid transfers are released the full servers are no longer full?!?! Gasp! DEAD GAME RIP
It’s manifestly evident that this is NOT the case. Classic simply continued with minimal disruption beyond people whining on the forums.
You could farm devilsaur without stopping on a low pop server too.
The boss resets were clearly a bug, and people got banned for exploiting it.
You couldn’t mine the same node. Different layers had different nodes.
You couldn’t pick the same herbs in two different layers for the same reason.
Once again, the effect of layering was to reduce the effective population.
Wait, you think the few people that exploited layering to farm a little more efficiently is having a continued effect on the economy now?
Rofl! We’ve went through all the additional crafting mats 1000x over by now.
Population can be down depending on the timezone. For example the time i play, most of people are sleeping hence less people online.
This is false. The status of the realms change in real time. It’s obvious when you compare what each realm is listed as during prime time versus the dead of night.
You’re wrong. You can go on the server select during the dead of night on a Wednesday and it won’t change.
You watch the news alot, don’t you OP?
Oh, glad they’re working on “fixing” trivial things that have been in place for 15 years. Blizz is now like a little kid who can’t keep their hands of something & mess with every small thing, while ignoring things that actually need fixed. Wondering why their games get jacked up.
“If it’s not broke don’t fix it”. Get some priorities Blizz. No that’s not “more useful”. Before I could tell at a glance which server I could expect to lag more that nite & decide accordingly. Irrelvant change again. 
that your personal feelings dominate your “logic” ?
i concur!
classic is doing just fine
Those who just want new content to play will pretty much all move on. Those who loved Vanilla and lobbied for Classic will likely stay.
It’s not for everyone. Wasn’t meant to be.
Some people have family to go see during Christmas and New Year and many take vacations this time of year. I suggest you wait until after the New Year for Doom and Gloom predictions:P
Classic has been on a constant state of decline since it was released i doubt it’s because of the holidays.
