Raid Sustainability : Low End Game Player Population

Dear Blizzard

This request is being sent on behalf of the Guild Masters of Raiding guilds of Khadgar and Bloodhoof. To bring to your kind attention the issues we as guild leaders and players are facing. Our servers has seen considerable drop in raiding and end game population, quite a few guild along with a lot of players have already left the servers. The impact of which has been how we experience the game in terms of social aspects, constrained access to content, ease of access to crafted consumables and gear, and playing the Auction House.

Many players are considering either to quit playing wow altogether, this is because the other option of moving to another server means moving from server with friends, connections formed over a long period of time, a history of gaming in a server community. The other option is when all of the guild moves together into another server, which brings its own challenges both logistically and financially.

To highlight the major issues we are facing they are listed for your convenience below.

  1. Difficult to build a raid team : Building raid team with a limited number of players mean, that very few players respond to the trade chat announcing vacancies in the raid team and available spots. The other means of raid recruitment is via external website that are not part of the core services of WoW. Recruiting players from other servers that needs transfer does not make the guilds efforts any easy. The game should be providing easier means to find and recruit people without so much hassle.

  2. Not sufficient players for end game : Currently we do not have any guilds that does Mythic Raids in the connected server, as we do not have this population of players. The same goes with Mythic Plus teams pushing 3k. Which brings about challenges in getting access to gear and BiS Trinkets to enjoy the end game. The players in our realm pay the same subscription as others, but its not fair that players in other server has opportunity to do a certain content while we do not.

  3. Even recipes for guild not available or very difficult to gain access to, we had to resort to char transfer from other realms to get it.

  4. Raiding Guilds moving out of server : We had quite a few raiding guilds moving out of server, Angels of Temptation, Emissary of War, Fire Shroud, Wildlings etc to name a few. As they cannot do the content they want to do in this server.

  5. Good raiders moving out of server : Good raiders if they dont move with the guild, they move to other servers where end game content is more accessible and there is opportunity to do so.

This is also the case with realms Lightbringer and Suramar mainly , followed by Moonglade and Azuremyst.

Our joint request is to connect us with realms that has more players doing end game content .Or to have cross realm guilds with cross realm crafting order and cross realm AH.

We are determined to take this forward and we believe that you would listen to the common concern of your loyal player base and help us out.
