Regardless, clearly legacy > new world transfers would screw up the economy, and clearly people would take advantage of it. End of story. It may suck for you, but it's better for everyone else.
Absolute rubbish. A very small percentage of 1.0 characters are rich to the point where they may affect an economy. Most of us played for a few months in 1.0, quit the game, and have come back at 2.0 launch. We don’t have mega-riches, and we don’t have all lvl50 jobs. Gill sellers on new worlds have altered the economy far more than a 1.0 character ever could.
This reason given for the restriction of movement is ridiculous, and is a slap in the face to SE’s longest standing supporters of this game.
