All Opinions Are Welcome
No worries
Sabatha, I do not hate or will hate you, or anyone else for what matters, if you disagree with me. I just asked you for more details because I think that giving such a radical opinion about a particular proposal without arguments to back it up is simply a void/lame statement to make.
I am aware that the idea described by this thread is not 100% blizzlike. Personally, I think not everything in Twinstar is or has to be 100% blizzlike. Nonetheless, it is a feature I have seen requested repeated times in the forum's threads. Furthermore, I would like to have this feature or a variation of it implemented myself, as I consider it could be a powerful marketing tool to attract new players.
Regarding your comments, one possible implementation for the progress-through-expansions (PTE) character transfers in terms of game mechanics could be indeed similar to an instant level 60 boost in a level 70 capped expansion, and a 70 boost in a 80 capped one, and so on. The limitations on the items and the gold for these boost could be standardized to avoid end-game imbalances; or the items could be copied from the original character being transferred and the gold could be set to a pre-defined limit just good enough to cover the class vendor [respec/relearn spells] and starting up fees [kleingeld].
However, I would discourage any custom vendor approach to implement this feature, I think that a web-based alternative handled similar to current cross-account character transfers would be a better choice, as it would limit the additions of extra custom content to the expansions.
The work to implement and execute the progress-through-expansions character transfers on the server side would be compensated with the donations necessary to cover its required star fee. It would also make Twinstar more appealing to newcomers seeking PTE, as mentioned before.
About the more off topic assumptions you made about being ignored or whatnot, I really do not need/or care about anyone's approval to express my ideas in this forum, I simply do it. I understand some members may agree with them and some others may not. In general, everyone is welcome to debate over this feature and propose alternative implementations, or to state counter arguments for having this feature altogether, as long as it is done based on constructive criticism.
Cheers!
