I recently returned to the game from a break, i reunited with a few old friends on green switching faction. However in this particular server i felt my progress to catch-up and experience in that particular server to be negative not going into too much detail regarding that.
I then Transferred server’s and i am now having a better experience returning to the game and catching up in character progress with things in this server being more active, That being said however im now locked to green for still 42 days… I have friends on this other server playing in purple i would like to change and join them.
I agree with having cool-down’s but I think if your using a transfer token to another server it would make sense for the faction switch cool-down to reset during that process. taking into consideration you are leaving the previous server anyway from which you switched factions from. In General your not technically effecting anything in the previous server in terms of balancing.
This is my personal experience and it is my overall feedback in this area, I thing removing any current cooldowns on faction switching when using transfer token should be implemented as a QOL change to your system here.
