I’ll start off by granting your points regarding player pop not being affected by people transferring under the same account. The question would be whether Blizzard has the bandwidth/processes to review every transfer request from the thousands of people doing this to differentiate by the variables you have provided. If it’s super easy than they’re just missing out on free money, so that makes me assume that their ability to discern the differences in transfer requests isn’t a near-automated process on the classic side or that’s just not where they want to focus their staff. Considering you can still make players on Pagle, people could easily work around your solutions by boosting a 70 on pagle and then using that to transfer their toons over. They would realistically have to lock the whole server down outside of your specific situation, which comes across as a very self serving and quasi hypocritical request considering the recency of your transfer.
I’ll be honest, however, that many of us who decided to stay on “dead servers” have minimal sympathies. I’m assuming you’re alliance since you’re going to pagle. Myzrael seems to have around 3k max level alliance according to wow classic pop that have logged on in the last 14 days. If instead of everyone transferring, you and the other guilds had stayed your server, you wouldn’t be in this mess. Instead of staying and helping grow the community, you guys decided to wuss out over to the next mega server, and now you’re dealing with the easily forseeable consequences of that decision. I hope they fix this for you guys, but next time maybe don’t follow the hivemind.
