So I just asked blizzard for a free transfer

OP, your only hope is to wait for results of CRZ-backlash (oh and there will be, pretty soon) and for when Blizzard will finally implement loyalty program. After looking at loyalty system implemented by same Sony, one can only /facepalm by looking at situation with Blizzard. If you'd play 6+ years in same EQ you could transfer whole army of characters free of charge and get many other privileges, and with new incoming payment tokens (Krono) - you can legally buy game time if you have a lot of in-game currency (aka long time player who invested a lot of time in game to get such amounts).

Zero chances. Any way it is way better that Blizz take money for transfers and such things than to offer P2win stuff for sale like many other MMORPG's

This might be a valid point if you weren't paying a subscription.

Indeed. Right now you're paying a subscription and still have to buy server transfers when your server is dead or crap.

And all this while there's other games that are subscriptionless and still offer you free transfers and aren't P2W.

I received a "free" transfer once. I was trying to cheat the raid lock out system during Wrath of the Lich King so I could gear up faster (I was a tank and I knew I'd be able to join some PUGs). The trouble was, like an idiot I forgot that it's not realm transfer that resets your lock out, it's faction changes. There's the 3 day wait to move your toon back to the other server. After waiting almost two hours on hold I got through to Blizzard and was able to convince them that my girlfriend moved my toon (using my credit card) just to fuck with me, and they moved the toon back (and I got a refund). In case you ask, no I did not have a girlfriend at the time; Blizz seemed to believe me though.
