Simply disallow transfer of AD to alt characters through the exchange.
Will this result in more zen sales? More transaction through AH to catch exploiters stockpiling? More angry customers?
Always wondered what would happen if they did this.

It would be just another thing that does not hurt the guilty and cripples the legit players. Why would someone care about eating 10% of their ill gotten AD just to move it around via the AH? Ask that same question to someone who worked months to barely get 300k AD
Probably not much.
Not sure how you think this would work. Zen is account-wide. Even if they did this it would just slow people down. Instead of just cancelling offers and withdrawing the AD... Players would wait for their AD to change into Zen before turning around and re-buying the AD on the character they want. It would be slower and more annoying. Especially with a backlog. But it wouldn't stop transferring.
I have a farm of about 20 Leadership alts. If I couldn't move AD into the account balance I would either just exchange it directly for Zen and buy what I want, or just buy stuff I need of the AH and mail it to whatever character needs it. In fact, I generally do that anyway, instead of bothering with the exchange.
Your idea really doesn't change anything.
I spend zen to buy things, the exchange is nice but i'm not spending hundreds of my hard earn dollars to feed the AD market when there are things I need to buy with zen, coal wards and apparently keys (although the keys for the new dungeons sound pretty pointless to buy, I had thought that buying that key had a guaranteed or at least higher chance at loot, not the same chance only a second stab at it).
I spend my money on sales or occasionally on coupon drops that are worth my while (not many are). So if I can't play my main most geared toon to earn AD for other toons I end up playing for actual fun that is like saying people shouldn't spend money on buying more character slots. Restricting AD trading between my own characters is a bad idea.
If you want a good idea, many of those people you are talking about actually trade on accounts not characters on the same account if you want to inhibit that put a cap on the selling value of items on the AH. They won't do that either but frankly that is what needs to happen, if someone wants a quick buck sell it cheap but don't go putting something up on AH for 10million because there are some handful of people that would buy it for that, you are basically contributing to money laundering doing that even if you aren't exploiting yourself.
I'm so tired of people trying to come up with all sorts of reasons to make someone else seem like they aren't "legit" players. Have you seen the prices on the AH? I'm a legit player meaning I don't make millions buying it from a 3rd party website. So many people claim it's so easy to make AD. Not everyone thinks so. This game is very expensive. I've bought zen and what you get in return for selling that zen is not that much considering the inflated prices on the AH.
There are plenty of people buying from the zen market so excessive greed to subtly force people who like to grind for their AD off the game is a joke. They advertise as a free to play but it turns into pay to win. Coalescent wards are hard to get now and you can either dish out the ridiculous AH price or the zen.
So let's say I went the zen route and had enchantment rank 7 I wanted to get to rank 10 without using preservation wards. Zen price to make that happen? 30 bucks. For one enchantment! Now lets say I had 6 that I wanted to upgrade to rank 10 from rank 7. That is 180 dollars. Is it worth it?
So many people come in to say it's a free to play you have no right to express your opinion. Yet if you want dungeon invites and to actually feel like a valid player, you're going to be spending money so all this white knight "omg exploiters!" <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> is old.
What constitutes as legit? Is it allowed in the game? Then guess what! It's legit. It's not our duty as paying customers to create the environment the white knights believe it should be. So how about stop patronizing people that are figuring out ways to make AD without having to spend ridiculous amounts of real money to do it. I can assure you those people are also spending money on the game to open their lock boxes amongst other items.
Mounts are expensive through the zen market, the epic ones. Sure you can go to the AH and still spend ridiculous amounts but at least there is that option but I'm under the impression that the white knights of neverwinter would prefer that people spend 400 bucks per month.
Just get a grip and play the game your way. If you want to sit there and say "YEAH I RAN A DUNGEON and it was the way it should be!!! Oh look I made 8,000-15,000 astral diamonds by selling stuff the right way! Good on you. Now just leave other people alone who have come up with crafty methods that isn't really exploiting.
Thanks!
(I also do not buy zen with AD, I buy zen with cash.)
The only time I ever transfer AD from one character to another, is when I want to make a green pet blue today rather than next week. That's an AD sink. So it would at best stall my usage of an intended AD sink.

But that is just a hypothetical and could never really happen...
easy to get around this, buy items that have a set AD salvage amount, send to alt, alt salvages and then refines, AD sent. You just have to know the salvage value of certain items to not lose AD.
You realize that the ZAX ballooned to it's current titanic proportions right after they made keys and coals (both high volume zen trade items) BoP right?
