Are you honestly saying that 40 hours of your time is only worth $10.00? |

This is confusing. So you moved the toons to pvp with originally right? By transferring them, you made the decision that instead of spending the time power lvling more toons of that type to pvp with on Freedom, you would just drop the $10.00 per and save yourself the time. Are you saying you would have rather spent the time power lvling say 3 toons, putting builds together, buying and slotting IO's, and getting all required accolades, instead of just dropping $30.00? Even in the good old days of say 8 hours to 50, you should still expect a few hours to purchase, build, and slot all your IO's, and a very healthy amount of time to accolade. Lets say you're the god of speed and manage to spend only 15 hours total per toon to get ready for RV. You realize you're saving yourself .67 an hour to do something that most PvP's find tedious, right? (If you're not really serious about PvP and enjoy PvE, then more power to you I guess) Regardless of if the toon ended up being nerfed in the long run, you still saved yourself 45 HOURS of your time. If you look at it logically, the only reason to not pay for a transfer is because you don't have a job.

Barrier is trying to say that if you spend all that time power leveling a new toon on a new server and not transferring it, you have to come up with the money for the standard 1-5 billion IO build from somewhere. The serious players market pvp to get that money. If they had just transferred the toon, they would not have had to market pvp. This equals less competition for Barrier while he gouges impatient noobs eyes out in the black market rolling his inventory.

Gotcha, makes sense. Personally my toons usually don't cost more than about 700mil. I don't use purples (except procs) or pvp IO's. PvP drops, as scarce as they are, are enough to fund most of my new builds. My earth/nrg dom, psi/nrg and nrg/nrg blasters, and my kin/elec didn't go over 700mil and they play quite well. I have a nrg/pain corr and a fire/therm troller in the works that should run about the same amount. I just dont have the patience or time to play the market. One less "downie" barrier has to worry about.

This is how I am too. I just buy anything I need on one of my market toons and stick it in base storage to pull out on another character or do a market transfer of funds for anything I need. In the long run it might take longer, but costs less RL money which is harder to come by these days.

two key points.
1> Rather than add money to transfer existing toons, I'd rather put the
$15 I've already paid this month to good use by playing (and levelling)
a new toon - giving me a nice pvp character on both servers
2> Better still (and possibly even more important in my book), is that the
$10 I didn't spend on the transfer (or McDonald's) can now be allocated to
the purchase and consumption of some fine Canadian Whiskey...
Cheers,
4
PS> As a Market player, I can fund (from inf) the new toons, and pvp (such as
it exists now) is hardly worth being in a rush to dive into, or spend anything other
than in-game play money to participate in (for me, at least)... YMMV
I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
Imo its really nice to transfer one toon on each side just to bring loot and money to get you going. With even a small bank roll you can have a base filled with the good cheap stuff that you will use lots of, like devas and kb ios. And its extremely nice to just pop in and grab something anytime you need it. I actually transferred farm toons instead of pvpers though when I first came over in i10, and that worked very well for me.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

Anyways, I have tried to buy server transfers and rename tokens but when I honestly think about it I think to myself about how that 10 dollars could have been better spent. Food, bills, anything realy thats not virtual.
I'm tight with my money, I'm weird like that.
i was hesitant to transfer as well even though a night out drinking costs me about 5x as much. but i'm so happy to see an active rv (even logging in on eurotimes), and glad i did it. Long live Freedom as the refugee pvp server.

It would be smarter to transfer a farming toon over to help get the new one started but I don't have any real farming toons villain side. Since I dropped my second account, I have a few heroes that can farm but that won't help me get a villain leveled and IO'd. Most likely I'll just roll a new villain and just play the market for a bit and get what I need.
