Please allow non-legacy characters transfer off legacy worlds

[Austin]

Quicktounge 4 on legacy = 150k
Quicktounge 4 on non legacy = 450k
See where this is going ...

[FutanXIV]

So they bring a bunch over and it goes down to 150k. Onoes.

Even if that doesn't happen, gil is worthless. What are they going to do with all that gil? Hoard it because everything that's best is from dungeons and raids. Any hoarded gil is essentially out of the economy, thus not effecting it. This would actually be arguably a good thing from SE's stance since they seem to be overly concerned about inflation.

EDIT: And the the decreased prices from the new found Materia would also be a good thing for their inflation concerns. While the prices may not drop to Legacy server levels, if even just 5-10 of each Materia came to the market at once, there would be a drop in price. And actually looking at Tier IV Materia prices. Most on Goblin are already at around the ~200k level. Some ~300k. If an influx of Materia did come in, it probably would drop the price to Legacy levels.

So basically, you arguably gave me a pro for the server economy, not a con.

Worthless you say... You obviously are not raiding my quad meld just burnt a hole of 700k of level 3 materia

Yes you are absolutely right, but that boat had already sailed long ago and besides, we would've never picked a legacy server had this policy was clarified in the beginning, in fact if it was included along with the first server transfer announcement in early September I'd have no problem rerolling elsewhere. Except now that everything's been pushed back for so long our friends had already founded a well established FC, there is no reason why they should break up and join us (especially with the current population cap).

It was already announced since months ( i think in the E3 live letter), that Legacy <--> Non-Legacy transfer is coming around 6 month after launch to give the new servers first the time to build up a stable economy.

one more time this hate against the legacy is disturbing.
new player still think legacy are a plague... i remember when some was even asking that legacy had not them character conserved... anyway

ok no transfert, in this case, give legacy new server! because for now if people want to move out of a legacy server they can only move into another legacy server!!!!

ohhh all the thing about economy are simply ridiculous, on another thread about the people that was suspected of rmt, some on new server was saying to have 12.5 million.... i'm on a legacy server and i don't have even 1 million *sighs* not every legacy are rich.

[Zumi]

Stuff on legacy generally sells for more since there is a lot more gil in the economy. Even if you are a new player and want to transfer off you will have more gil from selling stuff to legacy players since a lot of people have a lot of gil form 1.0.

[Lexxuk]

Dunno about that Zumi, legacy (I'm on Legacy) are pretty darn cheap, possibly because there is a heck of a lot of supply.

Phoenix Coke 80k - (Durandal) 90k
Craftsmans Competence Materia IV 500k (2 sold, 1 in stock) - 58k (48 in stock)
Armorer's Gown HQ 65k - 15,500
Lightening Shard 24g - 20g

The only issue I can see is Legacy players buying a ton of cheap items on Legacy and making a huge profit on non-Legacy, though if a lot of people did that the prices would start to get undercut very quickly so it wouldn't take long for Legacy pricing to hit non-Legacy, as it is I'll happily stay on my legacy server and enjoy the cheap pricing, able to attach 4 materia to my gear for less than the price of one on your non-Legacy server. Oh, and there was a queue to get into Phoenix, none for Durandal

[Tareel]

I know there are some folks who would rather not look at goobue mounts on non-legacy servers when that mount could never have been acquired on that server.

I don't particularly care, as the amount of magitek mounts idling everywhere is no less obnoxious than idling goobues in 1.x.

[kazaran]

They are going to let legacy transfer, at a point it no longer matters. Most People have lev 50's now, and are a t equal parts.

OThers just need to get over other aspects that yes, some will have more then they have and only their ego creates a reason to not want it.

There isn't much a real different in prices either, except higher available items from Legacy players who spend more time crafting. Except for high leve 50 gear/weapons that are currently over priced. Some others are actually very under priced on market houses at much lower then npc prices.

[Astral_Stargazer]

Since server transfers will be happening on or before the 15th (based on the fact that they have stated mid October and also first half of October) is that at that point the game is ~2 months old. Given the speed at which people can level and grind out Darklight gear and Relics non legacy servers are not far behind legacy server in terms of progress since BCoB is the highest possible progression atm. Yoshi has stated that the transfers will have a Gil cap so they could easily make it so non legacy cap off at like 1 million Gil so that over inflating the Gil on non legacy servers is a moot point. Secondly if they are worried about people bringing over high level items so the prices would go down. Prices atm are way to high for things even on legacy servers people are charging 1.x prices for items when Gil is much harder to gain as proved by the fact that everyone lost a ton in the 1.x-2.0 conversion. Lastly they don't have a legacy server destination for large groups of friends to go.
