I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but hear me out.I, like a lot of people have leveled up a character on a PVP server, have spent a lot of time working on quests and grinding out faction to gain certain titles (titles that are also available on PVE server - Like the stones in the Village of Shin or "The Jade Tiger" from grinding faction in DoF).  Well PVP has lost it's luster for me and I have gone back to the blue servers to enjoy the game content - which I know I'm not the only one who has done this.By going back I have lost 1.5-2 years of work I spent on a character, a character that I really enjoyed playing and would be continuing to play right now if they weren't on a PVP server.  Now some might say to suck it up and remake the toon on a PVE server and the problem is solved, well that's all fine but that means at least another year invested to basically recreate the same character.For obvious reasons people can't transfer from a PVE to PVP server- having a bunch of people in full avatar gear running around killing people on PVP would be a very unfair advantage.  That and people would level up on PVE then transfer to PVP aka easy mode leveling to hard mode leveling.  But what about us who spent our days leveling up the hard way, having to watch out back and fight encounters of mobs and PVPers at the same time?I know that there are mechanics involved here that a toon couldn't just transfer over as they do from PVE to PVE or PVP to PVP, but couldn't there be a way to just save the settings of character, delete that toon on the current server then just recreate it on the desired PVE server?  Of course all titles and items related to PVP would be forever deleted but all your questing, faction grinding and raiding wouldn't be for nothing?

Not a comment one way or the other, as I don't care about transfers from PvP to PvE as long as the pvp gear/items/titles don't get transfered and they wipe your status.  However, it won't take you a year to get back into PvE.  Yes you will have to level up another toon, but most of the raid gear from T7 will be replaced by the T8 stuff anyway.  So the only real concern is leveling, AA, and questing (which doesn't really matter as much except for the new stuff).

Well lets just take the current level and AA cap, 70/100.  It wouldn't take a year to get to 70/100 again, however I'm not just talking about levels and a few quests.  I'm also talking about the faction grinding with a certain faction, whether it's a certain city faction from writs, or like the two other examples the faction with the two monk encampments from PoF or from the Village of Shin.  Take that in addition to any tradeskill plus transmuting or tinkering and you're sitting on longer then a few weeks to get the same exact character that was leveled up on a PVP server.And yes I agree, nothing regarding PVP should transfer over with you...gear, items, status, etc.

I agree and I wouldn't even mind transferring over naked with no money or items.  I just don't want to reroll the same toon and have to redo the same quests and faction quests again.  I would love to see a PvP to PvE transfer option.
