When a char is transferred to yourself, i.e. another account owned by the same email address, the transfer should not show up in the game under the Transfers. It makes it look like the char changed players when in fact that did not occur, it is misleading at best. ---

What’s the business case? Why should this receive priority over anything else in the backlog? What’s the benefit? How does status quo negatively impact anyone’s game? ---
