The problem is it’s literally permanently contested, because if less people are in a zone layers shut down. Can’t even do a quest uncontested at night …
A healthy classic server does have uncontested areas occasionally, now literally everything is contested. Even took me an hour to turn in ony quest because the escort was contested …
oh yeas. RMT - or should I say Boosts and GDKP - is only on the Firemaw realm. Era as such is fine with both LC and SR raids going on.
There’s not much RMT on Firemaw either now, most bots have moved to the fresh realms to sell to the lucrative buyers there. Of course there’s GDKP, which in and of itself is a legitimate loot system.
Only boosts and gdkp
Worked great imo. All servers ended with 1 layer and there were multiple active ones. But it doesn’t matter anyway.
no. people need gather groups and trade. also create guilds. thats why big servers popular with layers.
To be honest, I doubt you’ve been on era for a while. The bots and gold buyers seem to have moved to fresh. Lots of guilds and pugs around still doing SR runs 
Yeah I haven’t been on era for a little while. All the boosts and gdkp made me stop.
If more ppl return to era, then the gdkp and boosts will come back as well.
And I really doubt if I log on to my lol 43, that I’ll find a instance group at all.
Might be worth a try, I see people looking for all kinds of dungeons rather often
Don’t play on the PvP server. Problem solved.
Agree, on PvE realm, it was not many bots, at least when I was playing. And we had few guild that were running raids regularly with SR loot system. And for dungeons, I was geouping mostly with people from the guild, but it was a bit hard to find groups while leveling. Not quite sure how’s the situation now, I haven’t been online for a while there.
Both realms have pros and cons, for sure.
AFAIK op f was a regular SR guild. How did boosts and gdkp make you stop?
I did not need any of that. Btw, Anniversary is bot country. Both versions of the game plagued with the same ills.
The beauty of Era is that you have all the time in the world… unlike every.single.other WoW version.
True - Ironically Era has undergone a healthy cleanse. Let the hype chasers go to anniversary.
No, i only play on era… Might play on aniversary when tbc comes.
Yeah, the amount of toxic kids are gone lol. So much world pvp also somehow, BRM, Felwood, winterspring.
I cancelled my subs. Played on the new fresh servers. So overpopulated. Its become impossible to quest. Spend more time changing layers than questing. Can take days to complete a gathering quest. So boring. Hated Retail. Not going back there again. Ever
The problem isn’t even pop and layers, it’s already accepted that it’s a mega server with tons of layers that increase and decrease throughout the day.
The problem is the huge amount of bots, gold famers camping herbalists under map for lotus spawns, etc… It will only get worse with ZG release and aoe farming ZG with fly hacks.
So if people like you leave, will more free space than
The point is it will not. It will just reduce the amount of layers, while there are still too many players in each lvl.
Is it possible to do wsg and ab on era?
