“It wouldn’t be good” is too strong. I should’ve said something like this: It’s not really what I would like best, but it would work.
What I would like best is beyond what Conan Exiles can provide, because it’s not a single-player game. A multiplayer game has to deal with latency, so its combat can’t be as skill-oriented as some single-player games, which means that bosses and dungeons also can’t be very skill-oriented.
What I would like second-best is similar to what you proposed, but a bit different.
Let’s say legendaries are not found in chests or as loot from dead bosses, but are crafted. And to craft them, you need some special materials, let’s call them “pieces”. Let’s say there are different kinds of “pieces”. For the sake of simplicity of this discussion, let’s just give them colors (red, green, blue, yellow, etc.) To craft legendary X, you need (among other things) 100 blue “pieces” and 250 purple “pieces”. To craft legendary Y, you need 75 of each kind of “pieces”. Now let’s say that each time you kill a boss, you get between 1 and 5 “pieces”.
That’s a system where RNG still affects what you get, but it’s not really a slot machine anymore. And those numbers can be tweaked to your heart’s content. A variant on that idea is to make bosses drop between 0 and 5 “pieces” (instead of between 1 and 5). Then it’s a slot machine again, but much nicer, because the player has some illusion of control over what they’re doing.
TL;DR: Take armor scraps from Warmaker’s or eldarium from Siptah vaults, and make all legendaries crafted like that
Regarding server transfer, we are all kind of biased by the ideas that are already published by Funcom but when I remember back or talk to the people in my clan, that aren’t active in the forums, everybody was expecting and looking forward to a very different kind of character transfer.
We were thinking of two connected worlds (a Siptah and a EL server). We were thinking of jumping in a boat or portal (actually I would have bet, that you walk through a portal inside in the temple of frost), get a loading screen and show up in Siptah. So when someone wrote we could switch between the 2 I thought “hell, yeah”!
But now everything developed in a completely different direction. I understand that Funcom wants to give the part of the community that wanted to switch between the servers this feature in some way, but I don’t think many wanted a “character transfer”-feature, I honestly think most of them wanted “linked maps” - even and especially for solo and co-op.
Well, having pairs of servers where you can travel between, may be the best solution after all. But with all the balancing issues, the possible exploits and the transfer hassle I would rather have no transfer than a mediocre one.
Would love to be able to start in EL get to the point I can remove my bracelet and take ship to get wrecked on Siptah. Then play siptah to the point I gain access to a new ship/or maybe fast travel from the tower that will now allow me to move back and forth between the two maps. PVE focused for me so just want access to both maps with the same character. What would be even more fun for me would be if Siptah was for further progress. Raise the level cap and continue the adventure from map to map.

Please, keep the feedback on this thread about the Testlive 2.4 build.
There’s already a few topics where to discuss the 2.3 update for consoles, including the ones where we’re posting any updates we can share about the situation. We’ll link them below:
Thank you for helping us gather feedback for 2.4 more efficiently.
@Hugo and @Ignasi - I didn’t see it listed in the patch notes, so I’ll ask here: has the issue of ‘NPCs not spawning in large camps on the main Isle of Siptah in single player mode’ been addressed?
