I know there are tons of players who have missed windows to transfer to realms that their friends and guildmates have moved to. There was almost no guidance given for the arena team captain issue preventing players from transferring. Several people I know have submitted tickets and no one has received a response and it’s been weeks. As we approach release, many people I know are left with the decision of quitting or playing without their friends, at least until Blizzard comes out with a solution.
There seems to be a simple fix to this problem. Make paid transfers a thing so people who want to play with their friends can move over. You will avoid a huge influx of players by limiting transfers to paid transfers and only those dedicated and left stranded will move.
At a minimum, we deserve to know if this is going to happen or not. Give people a window BEFORE you open so they can plan accordingly. I for one have taken time off of work for this event to play with friends and have no idea if I’ll be able to even do that.
