Population imbalance == not fun
No, for most people, server transfer is just the thing they need, the ability to move their character to a server they will enjoy playing on.
ANet can’t fix people, so anything they do won’t really help with population, as long as transfers are available.
Server transfer is more like throwing a oil into the fire.
Really?
In what way exactly?
Try playing on one of the bottom ranked servers, it’s a wasteland, no living souls to be found, i should know cause I play on one.
I wouldnt mind if they changed it so the lowest bracket of servers get a cheaper character transfer, but as it is rightnow, they are either earning a quick 30$ on someone, or lose out on a life long customer because they will stop playing telling their friends who might be potential customers that the game is dead, due to their dead server.
