Community divide in Legacy servers

[Airikay]

Some people have a budget.
Some people don't see spending $18 on this as a reasonable fit into their budget.

I think server transfers are a bit over the top, 18$ for just switching over some data. But if someone is on so much of a budget where 18 is a bit much they should probably rethink even playing this game since it has a monthly fee.

Not necessarily. Remember that the consumer ultimately dictates the value of things. You vote with your wallet. When you are on a budget and say, you have $100 dollars free each month after rent, bills, and food; Would you rather spend $18 on a transfer or say screw that and save it all? Or option C, get yourself something nice that costs $85? You do work hard, after all.

If someone ultimately quits the game because they don't want to drop nearly $20 on roughly 15-45 seconds of server load and bandwidth for the script to move your bits over, how much more does SE stand to lose? It's an interesting question I think.
