So I’m playing on the less popular PvE server, but there’s still no way you’re going to finish a quest in less than five times the normal time at peak hours. What did you do??? It was bad for the first few days in 2019, but not like this.
I’m trying to understand if you’re experimenting or if this is pure incompetence. How many players will quit just because they try to play during peak hours and it’s just not possible.

How do you know is the less played out of the 2 ( except Hardcore ) ?
I am not following you. What’s bad? The Layers or that even with layers, is bad that there are people everywhere and you can’t finish a quest in …whatever time you would like to?
had no problem layer system we all knew it was gonna be rough sometimes quest take longer then they should. so what just be patient stick with it lack of patience is what gets ppl upset
way blizzard can fix this is with hyper spawns when blizzard did that ppl where dieing cause fast spawn blizz cant win cant that
no reason cry about it same thing any launch of the game
play horde its easier its nice see horde this busy but eu loves alliance so much can see why its flooded not so bad on horde side its refreshing having sever that isnt 80% alliance 20% horde
here, let me share with you a quick solution
I’m not sure if you need an addon for this, but you probably do, if you’re able to check in which layer you are (in my case, it shows on the minimap), and the spot you’re at is full, send a text to your guild chat saying “can someone in another layer besides layer -number- invite me to a party for one sec”, it doesn’t matter if the one who invited you isn’t at the same zone as you, you will be instantly teleported to their layer, which could be empty for you
hope that helps, mate. that’s how I’ve been questing and dodging little hordies who only try to engage when they’re not alone

I’m under lvl 20 alliance on the fresh normal. The game is very busy with people everywhere, and more than when I leveled my first toon during early summer 2005. But it’s not impossible to get things done, for now.
We are faced with slow spawns or hyperspawns. That’s how vanilla was, and so we get it now. It’s the vanilla experience.
I believe they said that it would be so. And also I believe one full layer of wow today can hold more players than a full server could back then. So … why do we expect anything other than what we have?
But I do miss the tap/tag sharing we’ve had on retail for a while… 
It’s very unlike Vanilla like this. Classic 2019 was much closer to the Vanilla experience.
I gave it a go but nah, they should’nt have fired the Classic team.

Just curious , tell me the differences YOU have seen while you “gave it a go” and made you say “nah, CLassic 2019 was much closer to Vanilla”.
Thanks!
You fix that by inviting players in a group who are trying to do same quests as you. It’s that easy. It’s a social multiplayer game that requires you to be social to achieve more in the game.
Remove layers, mon

Ok, so do keep telling yourselfs that it’s all good. Me personally I’ll find a way through because I’m a weirdo, but the normies might not like it when they can’t even tag a quest mob.

Remove layers… When every layer feels full, and there are seven of them. Yup, putting all those people onto one will surely help things!
Layers go away as people drop off because of reasons they have. Then you’ll be happy players weren’t spread out on 10 realms without connections.
Well they had sorta kinda layers in 2019 but they seemed to work alot better.

Ehm, it’s f’in obvious tbh? Back then we had layering now we have sharding on top of that. The difference in practice is that here, zones are ALWAYS overcrowded, even when you level ahead of most of the bunch like I did (made it to lvl 36 in 5 days).
It’s MUCH more crowded than it was during Classic in 2019. So MUCH less like Vanilla.
But yeah, seeing a few of ur posts I think u’re only trolling anyway.

Just remove the layers so the world is more lively.

Now Berny is a troll after me own heart. Not like all you amateurs with your weak baits and half baked fallacies, Berny is an artist.

The game is just horrible now. 90% of game time is spent on waiting for respawns. Mega realms are exactly what vanilla was never about. Now we have 10 layers and all of them are devoid of NPC life and the game is now just showtime of douchebaggery for people trying to tag a mob as fast as possible, making an even worse divide on vanilla as some classes are completely useless in such endeavor.
There was a reason people had a choice of realms and many people actually preferred realms with Medium pop (which was already in 2019, so much more than originally intended for the game).

I got randomly layered twice, both at terrible timings.
The first time I was fishing a floating wreckage, and the thing just disappeared before I could even loot it.
I then noticed many tiger corpses that weren’t there before, and hence realised I had just been layered.
The second time was in the middle of an escort quest.
The NPC again, just… disappeared for no reason, before I could get through the escort.
Complete waste of time.
Layering has nothing to do in a game like Vanilla WoW, with this “dynamic layering” they’ve made it even worse somehow.

This is hilarious because last time people complained non stop on the forums that the layers were too empty and how much they hated layering. Now this time around we have threads complaining because the layers are too busy KEK
Nicolay mon! 
Berny is happy to see friend
