What is the point of opening Free Transfers to dead servers?

Those realms are already grossly overpopulated. If you’re intent on adding to that overpopulation, I have no sympathy for the “$500” you’ll need to pay to transfer to it (though that number is ridiculous).

I totally agree, Blizzard’s “solutions” to population distribution and faction balance are utterly flaccid and indicate nothing but indifference to the problems.
