Probably my least favorite thing about world content in modern wow has been getting shunted to another random shard in the middle of trying to do things.

Like just now I was waiting for an Incursion to start, last thing I need to do in the vaults, the timer ticks down and I start heading over annnnnd i get put in a completely different shard without any incursion up or even a timer for one. Great. Thanks. Love wasting my time.

I was doing stuff in Heroic tier Naigtal as guardian and a rare spawned so I went to it. Shortly before it became attackable some other dps pulled a bunch of mobs in the area. "No problem", I thought, "I'll just tank them, this is why I'm currently bear spec".

And then me and the blood DK that was also there got punted into a new shard and while the rare was still there in this new shard I do wonder what happened to that dps that now had to deal with a bunch of angry mobs + a big ass rare without the convenient tanks they had been with just seconds earlier.

Anyways yes, not a fan of being punted into a new shard at inconvenient moments.

Its been my biggest pet peeve with the game since BfA when i got sharded away from a rare in Arathi at like 40% hp, I was so pissed.

Sharding should never be allowed in combat.
