This is true! I have a quite a few non-legacy friends on different servers and we all want to play together. We are trying to arrange to join a server together but of course it will have to be legacy if I am to be able to play with them. With so many of us there is a risk that we still all wont get on the same server due to them filling up with other people trying to do the same thing! I don't think this is fair. I want to be able to play with my friends without the risk of being separated.

Perhaps SE could introduce group transfers. Is that even possible? Would be cool if it was!
Also what is the point of putting a gil restriction in place if legacy characters still can't transfer to non legacy servers. That's not a rhetorical question - I really don't understand what the aim of that is... I would understand if they could transfer to non-legacy.
