@Kaggen My thoughts exactly. I don't understand how people find that play style riveting but I suppose many do and I really don't even care. I just want Area 52 to stop being treated like the red-headed step child...

RE: Weak Auras
@DoctorBlah I finally figured it out. I forgot that the live server was classless. I was choosing load on hunter for example for my hunter heavy character instead of loading on character name

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
Here's my issue with this situation. If people like draft, that's all well and good but they need to stop sacrificing Area 52 for it. I play free pick. I won't play anything else. I expected the updates from season 7 after that season was over and DIDN'T GET IT. Now we have moved on to season 8 and I'm still waiting on the supposed updates that should have been ready for Area 52 that they once again put in the background for everything else. I won't bother to play this game until they come correct.

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
@Badgoy As I was saying, I DON'T CARE if people prefer draft over freepick. I find draft stupid as a PERSONAL opinion just as you view freepick. My only concern is that Area 52 suffers as a result, period. Where is my justice for having to wait perhaps 6+ mo for something I should have already received and prepared to make plans around??? Yes - it's crap that they forced people who liked draft to merge with 52. I don't know why they would do that if draft were so popular? They certainly gave draft everything first before 52. Was it an attempt to garner interest in the server? Didn't work obviously...
Also as an aside, when I first started playing on Ascension, I didn't realize that Area 52 was the freepick server which is what drew me to this platform in the first place. I chose Alar as an accident and instantly disliked it. So your extrapolation of people starting on certain servers ending up preferring that playstyle doesn't hold water. It's what the individual likes that determines their choice.

RE: Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?
@Badgoy said in Why are they only making a fresh draft realm?:
"And please show me the filled to the brim Standard server in PoE... Only, because you see some People in town, who are standing there the whole year, doesnt mean anything. If the League is down to 5k people, how many do you think play Standard? 50? 100"?
I never said it was "filled to the brim". I said it was busy and bustling even during the seasonal content.
"And most of them, just try to figure out a build and test some theorycrafting for the LIVE Realm, because they DONT CARE about wasting currency there".
I concede that you may have a point there but it doesn't take away from the fact that they faithfully updated the "boring" server during and immediately after the season unlike these devs and I already attributed that to lack of manpower.
"Do you understand that Devs work all day long on fixing bugs for Thrall"?
Yes - do you understand that players on Area 52 STILL haven't even gotten the spells and talents from season 7 before they moved on to season 8?
"Do you really think they care the slightest atm about Area 52? as I said, effort is put in the direction of where the money comes from. And that is clearly not A52"!
Well they SHOULD - that is IF they want to keep the interest of the players on Area 52. Otherwise, they may as well delete it...
"I am 100% Sure they even make more money with Rexxar Packages alone than whole Area 52..."
Not everything is about money which is why this server will eventually probably die. At this point I'm just waiting for CoA and hope that they don't screw that up.
"And what Streamers are Promoting Area 52? None, because noone cares at the moment, you are a die hard minority. Accept it or be mad, its your choice."
Well duh! Of course there will be videos about season 8 because it's the newest thing on ascension and if you type in WoW Ascension on youtube there really isn't all that much hype about season 8. After about a page of season 8 vids, it pretty much drops off. Some won't even PLAY season 8 because they hate draft and think it's stupid and some don't really care all that much even if they are not a direct fan of draft.
To close this out, I NEVER had issues finding groups in the finder on Area 52 that you claim to be dead and unpopular. There is still much to do for those who haven't consumed all of the content as of yet or are still leveling their characters. I go 1x exp just to let all of my characters level up organically. I don't rush to the end. This is why I have a ton of stuff to do in the game. Aside from that, whenever they bring in WotLK, that will add a whole new layer of busy.
And finally, you need to change your attitude. Frankly it sucks. You sound like one of those elitist pricks on many of these type of games.
