Layering is needed to ease congestion, it is so simple. Too many players in the same area destroys immersion, gameplay etc. If you also have mobs that spawn every few seconds, wow, what’s this fish in a barrel shooting fest?
If you want to presume that server merges are automatically possible, be my guest. I am merely forewarning you that server merges have not been possible for a number of years. I do not know if they are or are not possible for Classic but it would seem highly unlikely that the same servers magically reverted to a system where they could merge.
I have not seen any mention that server merges are an option for Classic. Hence we have layering.
That’s why they’re getting banned lol.
thats why alot of streamers did abuse the dungeon 9 man runs and still not banned? ye blizzard did alot of work on banning people who abused layers NOT

They haven’t banned anybody yet as far as I’m aware lol…
They probably wait for Asmongolds permission to ban streamers. If Asmongold allows it there is a chance they will do it. But he probably won’t becauss his friends abused it too.

There you go then. That’s my point.
Players benefit for the reason that they could join the launch in larger numbers and with layering the chance to get stuck with dead realms is a lot smaller.
Also, i’ve been playing from day 1 and i have yet to come across a bad case of layering. People are too entitled and too willing to be the victim of the ‘bad companies’.
The reason Blizzard hasn’t taken “the problem” serious is because there isn’t any problem. At least not for a team of people who are used to a time before the opening of the floodgates that let all the special snowflakes out.
No it isn’t. It’s an MMORPG where people can chose to work together to reach certain goals, or play solo. Its not a race. Well, at least not for the average normal player.
And now you are making excuses for the perpetrators while flogging the developers. Its the age of the butthurt snowflakes where the lawbreaking morons are put on pedestals and the hard working people are flogged for providing temptation.
That is what the criminals make of it. Normal people don’t even notice it exists and when they do its a minor thing because we can all just continue playing.
I’m not surprised they took advantage of it. Cheaters and thieves are everywhere, its a common thing.
What surprises me that in this day and age the bastards are actively defended, with zeal i might add.
Its the world on its head.
I think buying Robe of the Archmage pattern for 80g 3 weeks after release is pretty noticable.
You continue fail to realize that layer hopping is not against the game’s rules… Blizzard made this mess, not the players, they just follow the meta.

I wouldn’t know, i’m selling stacks of linnen cloth for a few silvers. But then im playing WoW and not Monopoly.
The only mess there is, is made by cheaters, hackers and other assorted lowlifes.

Simple. Without layering i would have quit, I think we just need more. In most areas questing is impossible in evening after 20:00.

Except that world layer hopping is not a cheat, hack or anything of the sort…

Abusing it is.
Nope, it’s perfectly legal.

Not when you abuse it.
It is perfectly legal to jump layers to gather more resourses, mate. No matter how much you scream:
The whole point of layering is to have more resourses, matching the server population. “Abusing layering” in the world is totally fine by Blizzard.

Not when you abuse it. No matter how often you say its allowed to jump layers.
The morons who’ll have their accounts banned might disagree with you there.
can we put this thread in another layer so I dont click on it no more?
Blizzard is only banning people who abused the DUNGEON layering exploit.
Nothing about the world part yet.
Maybe only you dont know? others knows why .)
