I appreciate their effort to get people transferred between servers with odd balances like that, even if they haven't gotten to Mal'Ganis yet. When you have two cups overflowing with water and one with just a little in it, it makes more sense to empty some of the two into the one rather than getting a fourth cup.
Sorry for derailing this topic more: What was in this warrior video you mentioned? The class is frighteningly awesome in pvp and pve currently. Was the video pre-talent revision, or what?

It showcased the original Bloodthirst, which was a 200% damage buff combined with a 100% increase to crit chance after a killing blow on anything that gave experience. IIRC, he was killing elites (I want to say the dragonkin around Blackrock Mountain) in seconds - he'd proc BT, switch to a two-hander and decimate the next target (it was basically a BT hit followed by another hit or two and then an Execute) and he chained them together like this.
As far as the server transfers go, I hate them. Bloodscalp had a small, great community before they happened - because it was so small, almost everyone knew everyone else (literally), and our biggest guild (Alliance, of course) had 49 accounts. Before the transfers, UBRS was still a pretty big thing for us, and we were just starting MC (finding forty competent people was difficult.) Then Shattered Hand was allowed to transfer over, and they did; we got ninjas from both factions, uberguilds (e.g. people that had MC on farming status), and in general a lot of undesirables. Our small community was wrecked, our server economy was thrashed, and the uberguilds that transferred over paraded about OG and IF like gods. And just when we were FINALLY able to start recovering from the Shattered Hand transfers, Blackrock was allowed to transfer over. A large percentage of the Bloodscalp natives (myself included) rerolled onto the server from scratch due to our initial server choices becoming too crowded; that people were allowed to transfer over with all of their gear, and being capable of "starting over" (e.g. being able to ninja more loot before they got blacklisted) rubbed us the wrong way.
