The most objectively fair solution to all these problems is to remove xrealm matchmaking altogether. Wasn’t really a thing in the vast majority of vanilla’s lifespan anyway, and shouldn’t have been a thing in classic either.
People are just too quick to lose their sh!t when the queues aren’t instant 24/7.
It has been like this on retail realms for years. What’s the point of calling it a double standard now?
Also, if you’re truly against the double standard because it’s a double standard, there’s an easy way to make it into one standard for all. That’s to put in a complete region lock and prevent Russian realms from facing any other regional group altogether.
And to do the same for all other regional groups too.
Blizzard can’t develop the game, even on pirate servers do not have this, the complete professionalism of Blizzard!!! What does your company charge money for?
