So what's anet going to do about people who have JUST spent gems to transfer servers? Seems like y'all would owe people a refund, since that costs RL money. Overall, I dislike this idea. People who want to cheat the system can AND WILL still cheat it. Changing HOW they cheat the system is just changing the window dressing. The solution to hackergate Blackgate isn't to get rid of servers-it's to get rid of hackers, but I see zero reason to believe anet's ever going to do that, especially if it sells copies of the ex-pacs. There's no financial incentive for anet to cut down on that trash. Even though I've left TC myself, I can still sympathize with those who remain; some servers DO have distinct identities, etc., and now that's just going to be flushed down the toilet. Also, if anet is eliminating servers, what about the language-specific servers in the EU? That was actually a good idea; how will it be done now? The rumor of doing something like this has been circulating for years, (been playing since 2013, so I've been around,) and it's ALWAYS been unpopular. Why now?
