Now I think it’s time for me to go see about becoming the champion of the Theater of Pain. That means Frostmourne players will now meet more players from other realms, especially when better gear is involved. Likely it’s been set up this way to try and prevent people from being able to abuse the premade finder - joining random groups trying to hop between shards to see if something they’re interested in is up. Since it’s so easy to get back into the Maw if you’re looking to go rare spawn hunting there with a party, it won’t be the biggest time investment to get into the same phase. It is interesting that they’re going to be keeping the phasing for the max-level Maw content though. You could store a lot of gold on a character and transfer him to the other realm you could buy 2 wow tokens on 1 realm, convert them to bnet balance and then buy another wow token on the new server and sell it there. I imagine that I wasn’t the only person to put off a quest or two when they were phased separately from their party. You could buy pets on one server and sell them on another, but that takes quite a while. I still haven’t gone back to finish it up. When none of the groups I joined up with could get in the same phase as each other, I wound up just moving on to do other quests in the area. I may be a (nearly) invincible Bear Druid, but I wasn’t going to solo those giant bosses, so I went looking for a group. I ran into this problem while trying to complete the capstone quest for the Theater of Pain in Maldraxxus.
