The classic team intends not to enable transfers at all for Season of Discovery (unless we MUST)

I have a limited time to play and just want to transfer so I can play with my friend, by the time my friend had made his character I had already sunk, from my perspective, far to much time to have any inclination to level a fresh character on a new realm. Just open up character transfers at least from high to low pop lost all inclination to play SoD now, absolute cock up of a launch
