I think the biggest hurdles are going to be:

Asking Sony to unlink your PSN account from your Dust 514 account

Linking your Dust 514 to your legion account

Ensuring the Dust 514 players doing this are going to insure the names they're going to use in legion can be the same exact ones as thier dust 514 without risk of name theft because they where a second slow.

Then figuring out translating of items and progression as likely legion will not be valued one for one. For example 100 quafe suits shouldn't turn into 100 bpo suits (could be wrong) However there a chance quafe suits turns into a color bucket instead for example. Just too man unknonwns to guess if any items can be moved over as they are and with teiricide going full throttle for legion comes the tricky question how many of a milita item = the new item? how many of the proto item of that type = new item? questions abound but no answers can be given yet as the answer isnt explored fully yet.

If CCP figures something out Ill urge them to publish the information as soon as possible.

well id remind them that since they've pretty much announced the death of dust 514 already they'd better work quickly to get the answers before the entire fan base biomasses

Dust 514 isnt dead yet though; there was no date annouced for shut off; I mean what if legion took 3 years to get out of closed testing? I don't see it happening but who in the world knows for sure what could happen; Dust 514 should continue to get support when possible such as adjustments to balance changes to pc and maybe a patch or two if its not too much work to acheive; all the small things.

I am still a Dust 514 cpm I already been making the case pretty clear that this was not going to be well liked annoucment to the public. I still have Dust 514 CPM duties as well with legion added ontop of it and nearly pulling double duty now. The cpm is still getting asked for advice on all things Dust 514 from events to player strifes with the game.

Also please make sure that they know that something like this should've been figured out before they started working actively on Legion. To me it seems that they just started thinking about this yesterday when they suddenly saw the great shitstorm which you warned them about or so I hear.
