Are you for real? Probably not...

I think this would be the optimal solution to try and please everyone. In case BW isn't able to facilitate the option to transfer to two different servers at the same time do it like this: PvP for 2 days, then RP-PvE for 2 days, then PvP again, etc. as long as necessary. Obviously you should clearly let everyone know you are doing this.

Just gonna say that I ain't paying BW another cent before I get transfer option to a high pop PvP server.

Bit more info since using the dev tracker seems too hard for some:

Yes they have. They've basically confirmed that LC won't be getting any transfer options anytime soon.

Just open transfer to some high pop PvP server like ToFN, those who don't wanna leave can always stay on LC.

What you say is only actually true for the most populated realms and even there probably only for doing random lvl 50 instances, ie. places where a queue actually forms in the first place. Even in those situations the queue is most likely so small that there will be a huge variation of different roles available at different times. So no it's not about roles at the levels of the tiny player pools this kind of single server LFD is going to have. To have the problem you say makes x-realm pointless requires a much larger pool of players at the first place. I play on of the largest EU servers and even we struggle to have more than 30-40 people in the fleet at peak these days. You don't generate the kind huge pools to draw from that what you say would require. I've been leveling alts recently and there were less than 20 players from 30-40. How the hell do you think that kind of population is going to able to support any kind of grouping while leveling? And I stress again this server is one the highest populated left EU side.

This. If I had to choose between BioWare only using existing SW lore or only using lore they created I would choose the latter every time.

Not x-server=close to useless even on the few server with people still playing.

The thing that says most about the state of this game is that BW releases the first glimpse of next major patch and that thread doesn't even reach 30 pages in 24 hours. I still remember some pre-release beta invite threads reaching 100+ pages in couple hours but that kind of interest in this game is no more. A real dead game walking here.

Completely agree with the OP. This game is supposed to be about making alts and forcing you to grind through same sidequests is enough to sap out any fun out of doing so.

Double maintenance just show how hard BW is working on this game. I certainly don't wanna go to something like WoW where there is hardly any maintenance at all.

This. In reality WoW actually has less real people playing that SWTOR does.

At this rate there won't be anyone left to unsub!

I think like fine wine this game will only get better the less subs it has. Only when it has like 200k subs left can you really taste that briary aftertaste on your tongue.
