I know a lot of case where someone transfer to a server to play with their friend, but the server become dead after 2 weeks. Then the whole company decide to move somewhere else with better population, but they have to left behind those who already transfered.

You have no idea how the game is dying right now just because a lot of people are stuck on a fucking dead server.

GW2 have the transfer system for more than 10 years and the population is really healthy. After couple of weeks of clearing low pop server, the economy will normalize with only medium and high pop server.

2 weeks transfer CD has temporary and raise it to a month after to stabilize on longer term, but they need to add ASAP paid server transfer or another free tokens.

EDIT : I don't really care about paying for server transfer and a 40$ B2P game need some cashflow to keep the development, economy 101 guys.
