If they do merges the complaints will change from "do merges" to "I LOST THE NAME I HAD SINCE BETA!" or "I can't get XP, there are too many people" "I can't do content, there are too many people!"
You're simply never going to make everyone happy no matter how hard you try, even in a 14 year old game like this one with only tens of thousands of active accounts remaining. If the devs were to refrain from making changes out of fear that they would receive criticism for it then they'd never change a thing... and get criticized for that, too. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, so might as well do what you want.
