Exactly! All companies going with those amazon cloud based servers cause they adapt - you use only as much as you need and you don’t need to maintain them. I would never thought Blizzard would do such a move. However I agree it’s a step back. It sucks but it’s cheap - exactly what Blizz is looking for. Not the Blizz from 20 years ago everyone used to be amazed by. Now just another company. Trying to profit on something the good old developers developed. Same story as with Diablo. Lying to it’s customers and just squeezing their wallets without any good service provided. Shame Blizzard, you used to be good.

Classic community:
We dont want layering.
We dont want spellbatching.
We dont want leeway.
We have a lag problem in groupfights and/or large groups of players in general.
We have a bot problem, its destroying the economy on all the major servers.

Cmon why tf aren’t you adding this to atleast major cities like Stormwind? The server literally takes 20-30min to apply ONE onyxia buff, during peak hours… Really smooth, to waste your songflower and other world buffs, for this…
Layering isn’t optimal, and I don’t believe you fu**ers prefer 4h queue to layering. Finally we can log on before raid, instead of anti-afking the entire day.
Little babies please cry more, pathetic bunch of whiners.

Why are you so eager to control population without any sort of measures to control faction balance?
Sort out your servers jesus. All you had to do was use 15 years of data to manage an already finished game to a reasonable standard; that was it, the totality of your responsibility.

I’d rather sit in queue for 15hrs than play in a world with me and 5 other people. Reroll another server if u cant cope with the queues. There are tons of servers for dadgamers to play on.

YOU PROMISED US, THIS IS PURELY OUTRAGREOUS TBH.
A promise is a promise, the issue exists because people can’t be arsed to move, if they want to play so badly, then they should move to a different server instead of asking for layering.
I’m done, i had but a sliver of hope for u guys, but now it’s all gone.
1 simple promise, broken…

This may not be obvious to some people, but they’re setting a precedent.
This precedent has made it INFINITELY more likely for them to use layering for the AQ opening as well.
The AQ OPENING WILL LIKELY BE LAYERED based on their reasoning used.
They “hinted” at new technology being able to deal with it better, but the thing is, this coronavirus isn’t going away anytime soon. All governments in the WORLD aren’t trying to “eliminate” the virus with all the lockdowns and so on, they’re just trying to “flatten the curve” as they call it.
The ONLY plan governments in the world have, is to rely on something called flock immunity until a vaccine is ready. Doctors are saying that a REALISTIC expectation, or in other words NOT A POLITICAL expectation, is that the earliest we’ll see a vaccine for this virus will be summer of 2021. This is the earliest doctors expect it.
So when you take this into account, and Blizzard saying this is “because it’s a problem that needs to be dealt with now, with all of our staff working from home so therefore they can’t develop new tech at the offices”, it means that it’s likely layers will be used for the AQ opening too.
Because the nations who “opens up their economy” too early, will be forced to go back into lockdown soon after due to their very short-sighted desperation.
This virus isn’t going away anytime soon. This is the nature of pandemics. Our only hope as a global community, is a vaccine. Until then, flock immunity is the best we’ve got.
This is a good thing guys. It will be better for black lotus prices, actually getting into BRM and with the bigger population than vanilla more guilds needs worldbosses to get to the same loot% per player as vanilla.

Please Kaivax explaint to us how this can be the reality? How can a group of “5” voultaners with a standard PC in a russian basement have more Staible servers than a Multi Billion$ Company? How? For me it’s like u guys dont get enough money to spend on servers therse no other answer to it… Its so SAD and Pathetic at the same time … how is it even in the slighest possible?!
Those p.server had over 15k ppl at the same time with about 200-500ish ms lagg THATS WHAT WE HAVE IN A EMPTY ZONE thanks to spellbatching and in a City like OG/SW where Wbuffs are about to get pop’d it takes literally 2 and even sometimes 10min from the dialogue of the NPC to us actually getting the buffs how on earth can u guys let this happen? Layering? are u serious? how do you handle world bosses? just 10 dragons 2 kazzak and double loot every time?! how do you handle WORLDBUFFS IN OG/STV does only 1 layer get the buffs while the others dosent get a buff and has no option to actually get it because its on cooldown like the past?

I think this is a good thing. Should have been done long ago (just before BWL-launch).

Most of you guys are some grade A drama queens. Embarrassing.
Best tactic is to just not think about the world and focus on instances. Not worth it getting depressed over Blizzard anymore.
