@Blizzard: Please implement zone wide layers

[u/Dwarni]

The current server-wide layering system creates a frustrating imbalance across Azeroth. While leveling zones like The Barrens or Desolace are practically deserted (where even 3 layers feel excessive), end-game zones are severely overcrowded.

This overcrowding particularly impacts valuable resource farming:

• Winterfall Firewater farmers competing in Winterspring
• Rich Thorium Veins in zones like Un'Goro and Winterspring
• High-level herbs like Plaguebloom and Black Lotus
• Valuable mob grinding spots for Essence of Water/Fire/Air

With everyone packed into the same few profitable zones, what should be enjoyable farming sessions turn into frustrating competition. A zone-specific layering system (allowing 10+ layers in high-traffic areas while reducing layers in quieter zones) would help distribute the population more effectively, making the experience more reminiscent of original Vanilla WoW where you'd regularly encounter others during leveling, without the current extreme overcrowding in farming zones.

They use zone wide layers already.

The same number of layers exist no matter where you are in the world. When you move from zone to zone, you stay on the same layer.

In what sense is that zone wide and not server wide?

[u/Neugassh → u/bck83]

They implemented the server changes from era/sod. For zone faction balance. "What this means is that if one faction exceeds our balance threshold, any additional players attempting to enter that same zone will instead transfer to another layer." So its about faction balance not really overall player balance.
