AFTER A Half Price Sale

Is it me, or is it super shady of Blizzard to be announcing this just AFTER a half price sale, which a lot of people used to get reduced transfers to new realms? World of Warcraft accounts for sell  Blizzard obviously knew this was coming, and a lot of people made a decision to spend money that they may not have otherwise spent if they were aware this was in the works. Buy wow accounts I doubt what they did is illegal in any sense, but I would certainly call it a deceptive business practice. we (apparently) had a bunch of bigger guilds move away from our crappy little server (EU-Burning Blade), and we were a bit worried about what the future held for our own guild until this news came through...   Seems a bit evil ;)

it will be even more evil if you see the fact that this people transfer to high pop servers and when the patch comes out they have to wait hours to even can login  LOL! Gonna love see that guild drama about raiders not coming on time like they where not able to login! buying World of Warcraft account Good times... time to spend more money to transfer back LOL!

If you didn't see something like this coming, heralded by the sale, you're silly.

Companies don't put things on sale for no reason. They drop the price of a product right before introducing the new product as a "last squeeze." 

It was pretty obvious that's what was going on here.

I guess I don't have your superior psychic powers.  I thought they were trying to do something to address the people who have been complaining about living on dead servers, while still making some money from it.  Nothing more.  I think a lot of people thought that's all it was.

Is this not likely to cause the same sort of issues that high pop servers cause? I have to avoid high pop servers simply because my internet connection and computer can't cope with so many people at once, it's even worse when they're doing stuff as well. Or will they just CRZ people around to avoid having so many people?
