Yeah, it was 'annoying' but they still have the chance to make things right. What would be your preferred solution?

That's like if I drove 30 minutes to eat at a restaurant and upon arrival finding out that my favorite meal, the one I drove 30 specifically to order, had been removed from the menu. Would I be right to demand that the restaurant pay for my gas for the drive to the restaurant and home?
Seems accurate to me.. This thread looks like nothing more than a tantrum..

You all made the choice to transfer in the first place.. That is on you.

Oh.. And you are welcome for the bump..

How many characters did you transfer to Bastion/Pot5 for ranked 8v8s out of interest?

Although it is now too late for you to repair much of the damage you have done, one obvious step would be to allow those who remain to transfer back to their old communities, for free, if they so desire. I'd have posted this 'suggestion' sooner, but I had thought you might do it unprompted.
That is kicking and screaming and one of many posts.. This is a moot issue.. There is nothing to complain about.. Really there isn't..

None.. But I have driven over 30 miles to a restaurant, only to have what I wanted removed from the menu..

The only Perkins in my area is in Ellensburg.. About 50 miles from me..

Oh.. Instead of moaning and groaning.. I found another tasty item on the menu and had that..

In either case.. I don't feel that they are entitled to something because they transferred and didn't get what they hoped.. They should call it a learning experience and either pay for another transfer or stay where they are..

Pretty sure I highlighted my grievance as a customer and recommended a solution which would resolve my dissatisfaction. But you know, Tomato Tomahto.

Should have just called them up or checked their menu beforehand. But I'm glad you had the option to find something else that you liked on the menu. I'm sorry, we still think this analogy isn't stupid?

Whilst I'm sure being told I'm just moaning by two people who are not in the least bit affected by the problem hurts me deeply () does anyone have anything constructive to add?

I guess if you buy your gas at a restaurant...


Meanwhile, still lots of "entitled" and "demanding" being thrown around, when it's been acknowledged more than once that absolutely NO ONE is saying this is something BW HAS to do. It's not like this is a post made in General saying OMG OMG BW DO THIS OR I AM GOING TO UNSUB OMG !111!!!!

Well.. First thing, you aren't in the customer service forum.. This is the suggestion forum and this thread technically doesn't qualify as what you are complaining about really has nothing to do with the game.. Allowing you are anyone else a transfer isn't going to make the game better.. Did you ever consider that if they allow you a free transfer for any reason, people are just going to jump on the band wagon and demand their free trasnfers?? I am guessing that Bioware is aware of this issue and will most likely not give you or anyone else a free transfer..

What Bioware does with 8v8 ranked PVP is irrelevant to the fact that you chose to transfer servers.. While I don't know the reasoning behind them killing 8v8 ranked.. It would be prudent to either wait and see what happens.. Maybe try and find out what their plans are.. Anything but what you are doing now..

See the words customer service any where.. To me that is just a childish rant.. You are pissed off because you transferred servers and didn't get the out come you wanted.. An out come that was never promised or even advertised.. Well.. Life sucks some times.. Things don't always go as planned.. Like my breakfast..

Or... and here's where it get reaaally complicated... hold on!

I could simply state that I'm annoyed that Bioware removed the reason for many people transferring shortly after they did so (and after they had made many posts stating they were doing so all over the forums), and SUGGEST (Gasp!) that it would be right for them to offer free transfers back their origin servers.

I know, groundbreaking

Stupid is saying an analogy is bad because they could have checked the menu on the internet?? I can pretty much guarantee you that the first thing you do is check the internet when you decide to eat at Denny's.. NOT!! Nobody checks the internet before they go out to eat to see if their favorite meal is still there.. That is really a very lame remark..

His analogy is dead on.. I drove to Perkin's and didn't get what I wanted, just as you transferred servers and didn't get what you wanted.. It is totally the same.. The difference is, I didn't demand that Perkins buy me some gas to pay for my return trip home.. You on the other hand are.. Well... You want a free transfer back to your old server.. Sorry.. It doesn't work that way.. Bioware has done nothing wrong and owes you nothing..
