Incentive to transfer must be increased

[Marluxia]

All of you need to stop complaining about Queue times then.

If the incentives "aren't enough" for you to move to get better queue times then you have no right to complain about them. If they are as bad as many in Balmung say, then they should transfer. Are the social groups or your ability to get into game more important? That's what this comes down too.

Nobody is complaining about the existence of queue times, because queue times are a necessary measure due to hardware limitations.

The reason why queue times are being brought up now is because these congestion problems have existed for years. People have been suggesting solutions to Balmung and Gilgamesh for years. If we want a long-term solution to be implemented, now is the time to be banging on about it when the most people are affected.

No they have not. I was on Balmung all through HW and after the launch died down there was no problem. I would log on with maybe a 25 person que that was nearly instant anyway.

Lol ok /10char

Sorry, but your whole "I RP, so I deserve better special treatment to get me to transfer," is utter BS.

If you're not part of the solution, then you are most certainly part of the problem.

I was on balmung since my old account on 1.0

I loved that server. If it weren't for the entirety of my rl friends deciding that we would leave together then I'd stay, hour long ques or otherwise. Lol. They could have offered a free year of play to transfer and I'd have stayed.

I didn't care about transfer rewards, que times, nothing. I wouldn't have moved.

Something I will miss from balmung is the lack of Gil selling shouts lol.

Moved to a nice little small server and I've seen more shouts in the week I've been here than I think I have my entire play time on balmung

I cant say ive seen that many gil shouts, but then, i moved shouts and yells to another tab when i was on balmung because the inane crap that people spewed was annoying

So queues for packed servers are...insane.

Anti AFK abuse aside, Balmung is PACKED. We've seen server-wide messages to offer to transfer to another server for free! But why would you?

My idea is, give everyone on servers open for free transfers a buff that will effect high/max level players. Perhaps a tomestone increase, discounts from shops/repairs, mount speed, a discount on houses, GAME TIME. Nothing that will make the game easier gameplay wise but also something that actually benefits existing characters enough to encourage people to transfer en-mass with all of their friends and guilds.

Thoughts? Ideas?

People intentionally picked being on a crowded server. And they should be rewarded for it?

They are already getting pretty good rewards.

If you find the crowd a bother - you have a self-remedy. Rather than complain, use it yourself.

My FC leader doesn't want to transfer. By the time they add big bonus' for FC transfers, I bet all large housing (outside of goblet) will be taken on the formally low pop servers, so there's zero chance my leader will budge.
