Free server transfers should be changed.
Well what can we do?
1. Leave as free but increase cooldown from 24hrs to 1 week+
2. Change to a paid system, either cash or gem based
3. Discuss and come up with a even better solution
Thoughts and Reasoning:
1. Increases loyalty to a server, and creates a tighter knit community. This results in a sense of your Home server is actually your home, instead of some free motel you are staying at for the night.
2. WvW balance. I assume a large number of transfers to a popular (WvW) server are because they are highly ranked. Currently you can fight for whatever side is winning each day if you would like. Example: Fall of HoD, and now overpopulation of JQ.
3. Increases revenue and server economy if you switch to a paid (gem) system. More people buying gems, more transfer of gold to gems, and overall an increase in “goldflow”.
Feel free to discuss or debate any of the topics above.
