Currently, this feature is implemented so that people can move a character to a new server to be with friends or to move an old toon people do not want to delete to a less used server to make room on their "primary" server for a new character. For that use, the price point listed is reasonable (I think high, but reasonable).

However, this could be so much more. Since it feels like cross-server teaming is Sadly a long way off (not even on a production schedule?), this could be used to solve the primary reason for cross-server teaming.

Maybe I am near unique, but I know several of my friends have the same situation. Characters strewn across 3, 4, or sometimes more servers. Sometimes I log-in and really want to play character X on server P, but my friends want to play on server G. Sometimes I log-in just to fool around and wait to see what is going on; I may see a team forming in one of my globals to run a TF/trial on server P, but I really want to do that TF/trial with a character on server G. Maybe I have joined a team for a TF on server L, but the team really wants buff/debuff, while I would love to switch to one of my buff/debuff toons, I do not have any on server L.

If you make server transfers cost 10 bucks, I will never buy one.
If you make server transfers cost 5 bucks, I may buy one or two a year.
If you make server transfers cost 1 dollar, I will buy 1 every 6 weeks or so.
If you make server transfers cost $0.50, I will buy 4 or 5 a month.
If you make server transfers cost $0.25, I will use them like candy, especially if that 25 cents is 20 PPs.

I think more money can be made at the lower price point, on top of more convenience for the players. It looks like a win-win to me.

Yes, it's silly. But then, a lot of what we're doing here is silly, so I don't see how that invalidates my post. It's an absolutely minor thing. I'm not going to set fire to any public structures just because they picked Psyche fourth, but I would have put Sister Psyche like second and made the STF or the Apex the fourth TF.

Feels somewhat anticlimactic.

A lot of people might think that I am saying my Scrapper survives more, but what happens in practice is my Brute keeps everything near her. I hit Fiery Embrace, Soul Drain, Burn, Siphon Life (to top up) and then Consume and then another Burn. Most everything is dead. I try the same strategy on my Scrapper and everything is scattered to all directions pelting me with ranged attacks.

I really wish the damage auras had a Taunt component.

Lots of crazy fun was had by all, and I came away with five shards and over 600 Vanguard merits, and it was almost entirely spontaneous.

Good thing I needed two more Gr'ai Matter. And who doesn't like a HVAS in your back pocket?

I really wish none of the various aura powers for Scrappers had Taunt in them. When I see that Shield Defense or Invulnerability has one of them, I consider that a serious drawback to taking the set.
