This server merge was a terrible mistake

Seriously, what a bunch of whiners, thats what you all are. I played on MT, i played in HW, and now on MT and FF, the chances of you getting killed are very low, 90% of the vanguard quests can be done via sitting in HW/Velika and joining LFG groups, and the iod zone is safe. The only reason you'd leave a safe zone if you are a pure pver is to do the gathering quests which are pretty much a waste of a vanguard quest.
Idk what dailies you are doing, but you are probably wasting credits. The most important dailies can be done inside safezones, all of them.
Otherwise, they would have been better off to merge LoT and VoT and open free inbound transfers to it. But the reason why you can't do that is precisely because this merger is aiming to help HW's end-game problem. If HW end-game players did in fact decide to migrate to the new server in pursuit of better end-game opportunities, it would place HW in an even-deeper hole, particularly in considering the 30-person raid and GvG content to come. It would have just continued HW on a path that would have needed another merger in the near-to-mid-term future.
I do actually understand how you feel about PvP and your reasons for wanting to stay on a PvE server, but when you make comments like this -- that allude to the fact that giving you what you're asking for would be without consequence and anyone who speaks against it is some sort of bad person with questionable priorities -- you aren't considering the big picture of this merger. That hurts the credibility of your argument. The very fact that this merger happened is precisely because there are larger issues at play than the fact that some PvE players cannot and will not compromise about PvP on their server. It was in realizing that some people would be in that camp, and that this would be the natural tendency for people not familiar with how OWPvP works, that we have the current arrangement. Even though you don't like it because it personally impacts you in a negative way, and that's totally understandable, there are still reasons why it's important.
Its not just the risk of pkers. Its the community in general. If you look at pvp server chat and pve server chat side by side, its gonna be obvious which one is for ppl who just love to have fun. Its freedom of choosing how you get to play your own way that makes the game fun.
Interesting that you quote things and cut things out to make yourself look good.
Who are you to say who can comment or not!? Keep in mind that the Tera forums is open to the public, and is owned by En Masse and not you.
I guess its easier to dismiss others' comments as bashing or condescending instead of trying to continue the discussion...
Actually, I made this thread in the hopes of proposing a solution. But If you want to be useless to the cause and keep bumping this thread up on the forums, go ahead. You'll just keep seeing it.
I'm sure you understand a decision as big as a server merge isn't something EME can simply roll back, and this time, unlike back then when they openend HW and went full [filtered] allowing free transfers to anywhere, they took measures to help the merge being useful for future content updates. With that on mind, look at your orignal post, it sounds more like a rant, a tantrum, rather than an attempt to build an alternative approach to either the low end game activity in HW or the management of players who want to transfer out of FF. An opinion structured in such way won't make EME change it's mind about the issue, no matter how long it stays in the first page.
I sincerely hope this thread gets locked, you expressed your disagreement, the rest explained you there are reasons behind the move, and it seems there won't be a middle ground. Enjoy.
It's not a lack of foresight. Having this transfer opportunity was because people in your situation were actually foreseen. But the limitations placed on it were also part of the same "foresight" to not make it so easy/painless that all HW players with a casual preference for PvE would just leave. The disincentive is also by design. HW was, by far, the most populated of the three servers in this merger.
Anyway, it won't change how you feel, which I actually do understand and appreciate. But the reason it won't be fixed and your solution won't be adopted (beyond the fact that it's not technically feasible to do) is because doing it this way was intentional.
Have fun with your pvp server and hope this is the last time eme force us to leave all the thingswe bought.
Maybe next year it's going to be the last year for TERA.
The way they showed how they don't care about us it's the reason why people left this game and continue leaving.
The merge only helped to make this comunity smaller.
You clearly say that eme prefer for us to leave than to continue in this game.
Thank You.
