OK here's the problem with the server transfer.
Some genius decide to invoke the strict rule.. only move to like for like servers eg pvp to pvp, pve to pve. They then realize this policy doesn't work for EU PVP servers.
BW now cant back down... if they allow LC to move to either RP PVE or PVP they then have to give EVERYONE that option to choose server types which would in turn alienate more people. So if you refuse it you avoid it
There is ZERO reason they cant transfer RP PVP to PVP.... the only difference being the "RP" aside from that the servers will be identical. There's no technical reason to deny the transfer, your char doesnt have the server type hard coded into it as theres absolutely no need/reason for them to do so.
In short some moron came up with a hideous policy thats since backfired and they're now taking the line of alienating hundreds by denying any transfer instead of the entire community.
