here is an idea(transfers)

[Mechanic]

why not give a months notice,
add a context menu for a single transfer to return to your shard or move to a new shard. Then when the month is up, shut it down! no more transfers. End that nonsense for good.

Everyone says how EA/Mythic makes too much money sellling transfer tokens, that they won't stop the service. I think they'll make much more money if they'll simply start selling items/gold to the players that want them, and recode transfers to be characters only, no items...imo.

...

Agreed with no items...

What should be transferred with a character:

- The Character
- The stats
- The skills
- A selection of newbie gear based on three of the top skills (randomly chosen if tied)
- 1000 Gold

That's IT.

Allowing items to be transferred remains the biggest problem with the X-Fer service and always will be as long as it is allowed.

Sorry traders... but as much of a free market person I am, that system has been too abused and caused too much damage to the game.

What EA needs to do is get rid of transfer tokens completely, and handle transfers via a pay to EA service. That way EA can verify what's being transferred, and control it at both the origin and the destination. If a dupe happens to occur through a bug, then the transfer is put on hold and the character stuck in limbo until it's fixed and the dupes removed.

I agree with you there, that's how other games I've play(ed) handle transfers.
