Solution to Legacy Players Transferring to Non-Legacy Servers

That happened in 1.0 it will not happen as severely in ARR. How fast you level in ARR will just prevent it from happening in any kind of degree that it happened in 1.0. I know about 1.0 I did it with cotton/velveteen cloth. Long before any weaver was high enough to make it I farmed bogies in a cave no one knew about for days on end selling those cloth for ungodly prices. And a lot of that was because crafts were so out of wack and like a weaponsmith needed that cloth at like level 10 to make his weapon(could not just get them off the vendor or class quest like now) and the cotton cloth was like a level 20 item to make for weaving. In ARR 1-20 in a craft is like 1 hour if you have the mats available and even faster if you use leves.

After open beta I really don't see the point to splitting us all up in the first place. I wasn't able to level one class from 1 to 20 in open beta, while other people managed to level 5 or 6 classes to 20. I'm on a Legacy server and there are people on new servers that are arguably much more leveled than me. There will be people hitting 50 on every server within a week. There will be people with outright dumb amounts of gil on new servers in a month. Treating people who played the original game like lepers isn't going to save you from being on a server with people with more levels and gil than you.

That is exactly a good reason for not allowing them on our servers. And you don't even know how bad it really is I have 9 classes to 20 and I was offline due to 3102 for a day and a half I am sure there are people with more like 15 classes to 20(my brother is one of them). That way you are rewarded for your dedication to leveling either with the economy by getting crap no one else can yet. Or just for the accomplishment of getting there first. By adding 1.0 characters you totally remove that factor from the game for some people. Yeah these players are a minority but you are suggesting taking this from them while a 1.0 player gains nothing from joining a new server except the fact he gets to have this feeling of being more progressed then everyone else without actually earning it.
