Yes the server move may be driven by financial reasons, and that's FINE. Very few are complaining about that part. This NONSENSE that the character wipe is necesary because of technical reasons is a bald faced lie, and adds the SLAP to the insult.
They are doing the character wipe as a sledgehammer fix to years worth of poor game administration. They don't like the legacy guild and character power arrangements, and are tired of newer players complaining about "not being fair". They don't like the dapper/merchant/crafting economy the way it is currently being utilized either. But they have sat on their hands over this for years and done nothing about it. So, they are using this excuse to "fix" it all.
Like burning your house to the ground because you want to rearrange the furniture.
Just don't pee down our backs and call it rain. At least man up to the truth and say what the real reason for the total wipe out is and face us with honor.
Without that, there will be no trust, THAT is what will kill the game!
