Now instead of waiting a week or two to get in the server you wanted now you gotta wait months.
Sheeple.

People aren't just realizing they can't transfer. What we're realizing is that it causes a lot of problems that we didn't plan on, and the reason SE (and the later-phase community on beta forums) gave for the delay isn't really valid. The legacy economies aren't drastically different from new servers; the players that would move from legacy would most likely not fit the stereotype anyway.

The current economy cannot be dominated; there isn't enough demand for items. Very few players, even of legacy, have the amount of gil you suggest (to buy "a ton of HQ items"). Moreover, someone made the excellent suggestion that all gear should bind on transfer; that only leaves materials and other junk that has 0 demand atm.

I think what I'm trying to say is there are better workarounds than simply stopping all transfers, if someone at SE would put in the time.
