People are moving characters into the cloud to prepare new ones for other maps. Like the upcoming center map for instance, most people make characters, get them levelled with tek unlocks complete so they can get a better start over there. Leaving another high level character on the island, to render base and stuff. Which means less need to transfer later and risk losing their characters to roll backs.
The only solution is for wildcard to allow us to dupe our character on other maps, to make an exact copy of it which will mean less GM assistance in the future and less frustration for players getting zero help from those that get paid to help us. Instead we get silly excuses with cut and paste replies that are more insulting than helpful.
The solutions are simple enough, but who are we to offer advice, we only test this game more than most of the devs themselves.
