TLDR: I personally I am not upset. Think that from a business perspective they were a bit too vague and they could choose to provide more information in the future. Feels like we are waiting in a line with no details about how fast the line will move or when we will get to the end, and that could be handled much better. I think that's why people are raging.
First Off, I have a group of 4 I play with regularly, therefore timeliness of Server Transfers isn't an issue to me personally. Yes, we absolutely want to move to a Server with more people, but we don't need it today.
I'm trying to think of a real life analogy. I'll give it a shot.
I am waiting in line at a club. The club has advertised that it opens tonight and we know this establishment plays music that we really love, everyone in town is buzzing about it and this is place we really want to be at. Yes, we can go to other clubs in town, but there just aren't many people there. The details on the advertisement tell us in advance that they will only be allowing us into the club gradually. They don't give us any details about how many people will be allowed in, how big the club is, etc... So, of course, I show up to stand in line, because I might be one of the lucky few let into the club early. I knew it was a risk to show up and I'm not really expecting to get in, but sure it'd be nice. So, now, I'm standing in line with 150 other people and when the club opens, we only see 4 names appear on the board showing people chosen from random to go into the club. It seems like the club can allow more people than that. We ask the bouncer and he gives us no timeline of when we can expect to get into the club, no details about how long we will have to stand in line, no details about how many people they will let in, and that we should check the board regularly to see if our name is on the list. So, we of course, go home feeling let down by the club.
Not a perfect analogy, but I think that is why people are feeling a bit perturbed. If only they would just give a little bit more information to the people in line, it would go a long way to keeping people excited about the server transfers and the game. It would keep people standing in line instead of perhaps checking out another game. We need critical mass in this game and I don't want to lose players just because communication was a bit too vague, it's a silly reason.
