Hey Gm Blizzard,
I see some people trying to protest to disable free character migration from all servers. I think it will make it difficult for players to find resources, especially on servers that only have 1 Whitemane layer, and make items very expensive when free character transfer is disabled, I hope you also hear the complaints of those playing on the Whitemane server, I know some small communities that play on small servers are disturbed by bots, but you also have to think about the players on the Whitemane server, where we have difficulty finding resources and buying them at very expensive prices. Please reopen Free character transfer on Sul’Traze and Loatheb servers. And don’t close it on other servers either. Remove FCM from servers that appear to be active, and don’t disable FCM on inactive servers, FCM is very helpful for me as a player especially for finding resources then moving to Whitemane for personal or guild use.
I agree with your opinion. On the other hand, it also benefits bots. However, when FCM is shut down, item prices will increase, making it difficult to obtain potions and other items. I hope Blizzard leaves some servers available to continue offering free character migration and shuts down FCM from servers with small communities like Grobulus and DD. I have friends there, and I understand how they feel, especially since bots are a real nuisance when they’re trying to find resources for their guilds. But I hope not all FCM is removed from dead servers.
How about removing the bots instead of removing free transfers
How about giving paid transfer off small servers, and free transfer to them?
Servers shouldn’t be able to exploit other servers for resources, free transfers should be completely shut down on all servers. Additionally, people shouldn’t be able to avoid PvP by farming on low population servers than importing the resources to higher population servers.
Just merge the servers it’s that simple. 1 pvp 1 pve. It hurts no one. The very small few who freak out if there are more than 50 people online on an MMO will survive. They will be ok. Might even make friends and socialize.
It would take far more work for no real gain to merge servers at this point. The problem is bots, merging the servers doesn’t help with that, removing free transfers does.
If it is so hard to find resources on the one populated megaserver, the answer is not to use character transfers to farm on empty clusters but to go play on those empty clusters! The era community SHOULD spread out to all the clusters and start playing the game instead of raid logging on Whitemane doing GDKPs.
If you’re finding it difficult to find resources on your home server, that is a conversation that needs to be had with Blizzard. The solution shouldn’t be taking resources from other servers and bringing them to Whitemane.
While I’d be all for free transfers in as a means of letting the population spread out a bit, sadly, even a paid transfer off won’t mitigate the botting/farming issue. I did some math a while back and a paid transfer is a small percentage of what those operations can make. Sure they’d lose money, but they make so much that this won’t stop them.
