Unfortunately this has been a key issue with a lot of people, due to the serious issues the game had at launch. I am going to play regardless, but if I knew the transfers would be delayed until some unknown time in Oct, I would have just re rolled on the server my friends were on instead of working on my launch guy.

The problem I have isn't the delay, its the fact SE has been parroting the mid Sep thing officially, while slowly leaking out that it will be delayed via unofficial channels (like interviews). If there is a issue, man up, announce the delay and let the players deal with it. This is not a good way to treat the customer.
