What do you guys do with standard league characters when they transfer?

not much...

I keep the successful ones. Usually I'll get a character up to 85 or something if that league keeps me interested, then it stays in standard for me to play with.

I play the standard ones if the current league is boring, or I don't feel like it.

I like the idea of progress, so playing standard works for me.

It is good to have multiple 90+ characters to experiment with every patch reset.

I'm keeping every character above at least level 90 ... yeah I'm one of those people that buys character slots and even sorts standard stashes. I grow attached to characters, I'm not the zoomy type. ANd yeah doing that since 2013 ;)

Pretty much this.

Use them to test.
Use them to have fun.
Use them to theory craft.
Use currency to practice craft items.
Have fun.

I keep them for future play on Standard. Very rarely, I recycle a character name for re-use, but for the most part, I grow my stable of characters. =^[.]^=

I delete most of them, some i REALLY enjoyed playing i keep.

Impressed at how many folks here are consistent!

I honestly just do whatever. About half I've just not logged in on since, some have been deleted either because I wanted the name or I'd run out of slots, and others still I've messed around on for one reason or another (e.g. trying out a skill to see if I like it before a league starts).

Delete, standard is boring.

Filter them out. Every year or so I delete a bunch.

Keep the higher level ones around for testing, one or two to craft/grind between leagues, most of the others get pulled apart for the shiny bits inside. I have a couple friends who only play once in a while (so um, standard.) and need that one familiar dork to acclimate themselves to stuff before wading in to a new puddle of nerfs.

It's just very nice to have a blank 96+ marauder or shadow to test how a drastically new setup will feel. Like it or not, if PoB math were the only things that mattered, most people actually would only play 1 or 2 builds, they're not stupid. But if it feels super clunky or gives me carpal tunnel, I won't play it. Hence the actual road test. A feelbad league or build gets left behind.
