In a very general sense, they want to play the character that you want to earn things on. So if you are going to farm Cosmic flux for a given character, they want to encourage you to farm it on that character. This has been their overall goal behind many things, such as reputation requirements or raid kills for professions, and earning Valor to upgrade gear.
The ability to transfer is really beneficial because mains have often just ended up with so much extra, it’s a dead currency for them.
By having the tax, if you are going to go farm more, it encourages you to use that character, rather than play different ones.
Hey idk if this is off topic or not i tried to reply making a new post but not sure how, i have been having problems with my game since the new update has came out were i try and use my abilitys and it will click on them but not actually cast them. It looks as if the game is frozen then suddenly it comes back and im just dead i have video of it that helps explain better but when i try and make a trouble ticket it is very generic and dose not give me a spot to add a video clip of the situation. Have you or anyone else been experiencing any of the same troubles?

Does this require a realm restart, or is it just not active yet? I’m still stuck at 9/30 and returning to Oribos after both relogging and exiting completely hasn’t resolved the issue.
