Some people don’t want them to come.
I mean, certainly I feel that they detract from the rite of passage that is leveling on a server to be a part of its community.
The pride of being on the lower pop side of a faction disparate server, and making your way through is not earned by a server transfer.
Why would you want people to quit? Is that better for the game as a whole?

Than letting the more balanced servers go to 
? Yep
It may be. Not everyone is good for everything.
i’m not sure why you’d want empty servers if you want to keep playing classic.

This would likely happen to my server if they allowed transfers for it. People would knee jerk react to just transfer to level rather than wait till BGs come out. Luckily Blizz learned what’s good for the game.
I agree with all of this. There’s no perfect solution.
How about this. You get one transfer for a character. One chance to fix your mistake. After that, it’s reroll or quit. Do you think that would work?
Because alliance will all leave to PvE servers, and then all PvP servers become PvE servers for horde.
Didn’t you see what happened with that EU realm where all the alliance left?
If your reponse to this inevitable issue (assuming paid PvP-PvE transfers come into play) is “too bad horde. Should done _______ differently” then you’ll end up with the majority of the player base (because the horde is the majority) upset, and I dunnoooo…unsub?
Blizzard needs to do what’s best for the majority if they’re interested in getting paid. Which, in this case, the majority is PvP servers and horde players.
People are going to play where they want or not play. Nobody is going to stick around on a realm and keep paying to not have fun. Do transfers potentially ruin server communities? Yeah, they do. But people leaving the server and rerolling has the same effect.
you’re really arguing that horde will get such hurt feelings from alliance actually being able to play that they’ll all rage quit the game and then every pvp server will be barren? lawl.
Again, transfers only for the servers with crazy 30/70 or 20/80 imbalance as they are dead already. That’s a fair compromise.
I think lots of people rolled PvP cause they either had people telling them this was the “real” WoW experience, they started playing the game during WotLK when world PvP was dead, or they thought they could play the same way they did when they were 16 and had five hours a night to play.
Many people are discovering that they made a mitake.
If they dont offer transfers: slow road to Flamelash.
If they do offer transfers: faster road to Flamelash + $$$$$ for Blizz

I wouldn’t even design a character transfer system. Players would have the ability to start at level 60 decked in level 60 gear with the press of a button on any server. Obviously limited by physcial resources.
I suppose people want to play the game for different reasons because we are all different.
If the acquision of +1 on your new pink boots is reason enough, thats fair, the game has in fact been this way since level 1 right?
I can say, for at least my purposes, I rolled on a PvP server because my rl friends rolled there, and I wanted to run with them. I much prefer farming and raiding to PvP, and had I known;
A) My friends wouldn’t stick around, and I’d be stuck on my own.
B) That world pvp was going to be this bad (to the point that every run to BRD/UBRS requires 30-45 minutes of death runs), I would have fought against them harder to roll on a PvE server.
I’ve put in the time to get to 60, start getting gear, max out all my professions, and I don’t really care to spend another 2-3 months of my evenings and weekends grinding up a new Holy Priest.
On top of that, they rolled a west coast server, and we’re east coast based, it hurts certain aspects of my farming (I fish a lot) to have the server this far ahead my time zone, and would certainly like to move to an Eastern Time Server.

Flamelash only happened because of transfers…
It doesn’t. They should be able to pay to move.
I acknowledge that. Blizz missed out on some $$$ to hasten their fate.
