Hi
I have just noticed this issue as well. I bought the game on release and joined a server and then stopped playing for a period of time. Then I started playing last month with someone I met in another game who I found out also had GW2. We persuaded another person from that game to buy gw2 and have been playing quite a bit.
The problem being is I am stuck on different server from them and of course the server they are on happens to cost 2,400 gems and it would cost me £30 to transfer.
I’m not really interested in pvp/wvw at the moment, nor are they though of course maybe someday we might be. We only just noticed this issue when it came to us setting up a guild and realising we weren’t jointly contributing to it.
Of course the last post gives me hope and hopefully this is something they look at doing very soon.
Don’t get me wrong I guess there is a point behind the high cost but £30 is a high price to pay just for a transfer to share guild resources…
