I'm alliance on Kil'Jaeden, and it's terrible to do anything out in the open world. I've taken a few breaks, so my gear is behind the curve, and even with 8, a few geared people can wreck me repeatedly.

I'm debating on using the discounted character transfer on just one toon (or two really, I run my 8 in two groups of 4) to a PvE server so when I just want to do my world quests, I can phase over there, and when I want to engage in PvP, I can phase back to KJ.

Is this a good idea? I know I will lose the ability to trade items/gold between characters, but beyond that, I can't think of a downside.

I was really hoping for some sort of "bulk discount" for character transfers, but it's doubtful it's ever gonna happen.
