Since a single character xfer is 1800 CC, they could offer the option to "Transfer an entire Legacy from one server to another for... 5500 CCs.

That is slightly above the cost of transferring 3 characters. So it only becomes economical if your transferring 4 or more, less than that and individual transfers remain cheaper.
I think a bulk discount would be nice as well.

Bulk option: if you buy 5500 CC, xfering a toon works out to ~$13, almost half of what it costs in WoW. Not a bad deal.

SWTOR is all about having multiple toons. They have encouraged it since launch in a way WoW never has.
You're right. Those BOA heirlooms don't encourage multiple characters at all. They can't even be sent cross faction or cross server.

Oh, wait...

I'm guessing more than you would think, when you consider all the factors that go into it.

Automated processes seldom are.

The systems and servers require maintenance. The employees who maintain the systems and servers have to get paid. Systems often have problems, and those same employees have to get those systems back up. The server locations require electricity, and other utilities, possibly lease or mortgage payments, etc.

It's not a zero cost for them.

I am in the same boat, I would like to move my entire legacy to a new server for various reasons.
Yet I would need to buy the 6000 coin option 6 times to do so which is $300 + exchange rate.

Having a bulk discount would be great.
