I would love to transfer off Helm of Graush (Republic) because that side is pretty dead. Sure the server may be considered "Heavy" at times, but that is with 270+ Empire in fleet and only 85 Republic in fleet.
Maybe I am in the minority, but I would rather wait a 30min queue to join a server where I know a lot of people will be playing the same content as me, can ind instance groups, can participate in a guild with more than 11 people (my guild went from 40 people on at a time to 11 ), and people actually buy and sell things on the GTN, than not have a queue.
