Have you participated in any of the things on the island or are you just spewing out your own opinion because it does effect how you do quests.
GL getting the chest in the arena, you thought it was hard before? Oh wait you don't care about it and don't want it? Then don't post about something you don't care about.
Woah calm down just a little bit, it really wasn't meant that way. I was genuinely curious why people would do such a thing. Honestly it wasn't meant in a negative way.
...group for what?
To kill level 35 boars when I'm camping a unique skinned pet?
I fail to see how CRZ really help anything except World PvP (and even then, barely helps it). Dead servers are still dead. All CRZ in the DMF means is that players on a dead server will NEVER see the Darkmoon Rabbit (btw, did they up it's spawn rate for CRZ? Otherwise, its now 2 rabbits per DMF for 10 servers, rather then 2 rabbits per DMF per server) AND the Darkmoon ring event (since guilds from other, higher pop realms will come in and roflstomp the solitary players from the dead servers).
CRZ is a band-aid solution that won't stick. It covers up the wound and lets it fester underneath. Not only are dead servers still dead, CRZ takes away resources that would otherwise have been for that dead server only.
Did I read correctly earlier in this thread that there are official opt-out on CRZ servers?
The worst part about this whole CRZ is Blizzard won't move and inch on the topic. They are scared they will lose millions of dollars from investors soon as they hear the words server merge. Activision is watching them closely, I believe that has a lot to do with them delaying "titan" put some talent and some resources back into the sinking ship.
And don't even get me started on the 30 min Brawler queue times...

There are other people in my MMO! This is a slap in the face!!
It seems some people expect these rare items (DM Rabbit) to be handed to them, no effort or planning required.
they really need to merge servers, i transferred to a high pop realm and the experience was drastically better, was much easier to find groups to run instances,arena etc. Only drawback is that now my 9alts are stuck on a separate server to my main
completed the barrens weekly quest in like an hour on my new server, still looking for a group to kill commanders on my normal server, they should have at least allowed crz for low pop servers
It was a shock to me to see so many people at the DMF when I went there today, then I realized it was CRZ'd. The lag was so bad and I don't know why. Took me 4 tries to get the cannon 'game' done because the wings wouldn't dissipate till i was past the circle. Hell one time the wings just went away and it shot me out of the cannon without them and I landed next to Sayge with 5% HP...
I transfered a toon to a full server a few weeks back and the games become fun again. I can do world bosses now and groups are running all kinds of things. So many people and I thought CRZ was supposed to throttle down when you were on a server with a lot of people but I notice in the old zones it's worse because you have like 5 High to Full servers worth of people standing around in those zones.

just realized it's gonna be impossible to get the arena trinkets now :S managed to get 6 last months darkmoon faire
Just finished the weekly profession quests on my alts, and I have to say it was a pain in the ass.
People all over the place, and the chase for items and quest targets was borderline annoying... Like the quest to heal the 4 injured npc's.... it took me forever with so many people crowded there trying to do the same.
Usually I don't really mind CRZ, but on the faire island it's an overkill
"The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."
CRZ should only do two things:
1/ Give PvP'ers someone to fight.
2/ Make the world seem more alive.
But it also utterly ravages the fun of collectors because suddenly there's much less supply and much more demand. And the worst thing is when you see something on a flight point, but you know you can't get it because CRZ will kick you into a different realm the moment you land. Its such a tease.
CRZ should only let you see 'ghosts' of other players, people who you can see and talk to and fight if PvP, but who can't access resources or mobs or pets that are in your realm (and vice versa). With all the phasing tech, that shouldn't be hard to achieve.
Or just merge realms. Though that'll never happen.
And? Rare pets are meant to be rare and again zones were designed with a certain population in mind and yes I'm sorry but that includes spawn rates. Also you do know no one can solo the mob that drops this pet right? It requires a rather large group and if anything that is probably why DMF island is a cross realm zone now since not every realm has enough people around to kill it. Cross realm zones were designed for exactly this purpose.
Just a note to the people wanting to merge servers: It won't help with empty zones. 90% of the people will still be in the high-end zones. And if they need to merge so many servers that there won't be population problems in the lower zones, I hope you have a computer that can handle a thousand people sitting in Shrine.
