I dunno - maybe the many people in all these threads popping up, including the obvious thread here?
People got split up from friends or have characters split between realms due to shutting the transfer window down extraordinarily fast.
Regardless, I do think they need to add things in game that would reduce griefing without doing something dumb like war mode.
If people love this version of the game, then we have to advocate for changes that keep the player pop healthy. This feels like low hanging fruit.
