BfA is the perfect chance for realms to be merged.

This is yet another post spawning from the Vanilla vs Retail argument. But this isn't the point of this post. I want us to have a discussion. Not about which version is better, but how to make the one we've got better. Inspired by Alexensual's thoughts on BfA.This game has been out for 13 years already. Technology's evolving as fast as ever. We don't play on toasters and our PCs can handle way more compared to that time. We are way past the prime time of 13 million active subs and there's a huge list of low pop realms around that nobody wants to really join by themselves. We've got connected realms, we've got sharding, we've got phasing and we've got cross-realm zones. Confusing isn't it! Coming BfA, there won't even be PvE and PvP realms anymore. The main focus of BfA will be faction war as far we know, yet there's all those 90A:10H realms and vice versa.I believe BfA is a perfect opportunity for realms to be merged.For all I know, they could make 8 Titan realms, named after the Titans and compensate people with vanity items and tabards unique to their old server's name. That way they can fix faction balance. They can remove sharding and cross-realm zones and have you focus on your realm alone. Or at least have them happen to a way lesser extend.Suddenly there will be a vast amount of players you see in-game regularly, that you know by their names because they are unique to them, that you see in towns, in bgs, in dungeons, in raids and in the world. Faction war becomes much more personal. You know the enemy faction guilds, you know the players, you know the class mains and the best players, you know your competition.All in all, I don't see any advantages to the current situation, with all those players that you see but you can't really interact with and with so many realms feeling deserted. I want realms to be merged and the world feeling big again.
