Some of us players run a ton of dailies in the game because we can only play for relatively short periods in any one sitting, and so RAIDS are not usually possible. We like gear too; and liked to be prepared if raiding ever does become possible for us.
That's where bind on equipped gear in the auction house comes into play.
But some realms are relatively inactive on the high end; and so the BoE gear is either almost never in the auction house or outrageously expensive when it is.
That's where a 3 day transfer comes in handy. If you are willing to pay the 50, jump to a realm with a vibrant high end economy. Stay until you have grabbed all the gear you want. Transfer back to the realm you prefer.
Paid Character Transfer Cooldown Reduced to 3 Days
It used to be that you could only pay to have your character transferred to a different server once every 30 days, but that time limit has now been drastically reduced. According to a post made today by Eyonix, the cooldown for the Paid Character Transfer service has been slashed down to three days. "This should prove particularly beneficial to players who move to a realm they don't enjoy and wish to quickly move to a brand-new realm," the Blizzard poster said.
The change has also been reflected in the Paid Character Transfer FAQ: "An individual character may only be transferred once every 3 days." So while you'll be able to change your server quickly, keep in mind that each transfer costs $25.
What do you think of the change? Are you more likely to use the service knowing you're not going to be stuck on a new server for 30 days, or do you think the cooldown is now too short?
