Open Online Games in RotW

Hi

Before RotW, I usually created open online games (so other player could join, each could farm on their own, and we gain the players N bonus - and if the other player insisted on farm the same area, I could just create a new game )

Now with Hearlds and Shard on RotW, create an "open", seems a bit risky...

Like, the

Herald might spawn because of you, but closer to the other player
And with shard, you can't simply create a new game if another player starts farming in the areas you want....

So it's harder to farm players N without a prior agreement with other players

Imo the entire design of shards and

Herald spawning makes it even less of a multiplayer game than the age old broken chat + shared loot + too easy even alone did combined.

People will be people, that's online gaming for you. Blizzard could easily make the /players command doable in online games that are launched directly from the character selection screen. I don't know why they never implemented this, but it would solve a lot of player grievances.
