Why isn't housing priced higher? (why is housing random luck)

[Hasrat]

I'm not going to move to a dead server just so I can have a house. Moving to Balmung was the best decision I ever made with this game. NOTHING will make me go back to my original server.

For the sake of argument, doesn't that just reinforce the problem? If more people decided to migrate to a low-pop server, it would decrease congestion on the big servers, and increase playability on the smaller ones, right? Is it bad to strive for balance, rather than having a handful of servers everyone wants to be on because everyone else is already there?
Of course, yeah, true, housing isn't much of an incentive when the price is probably longer queue times or whatever.

Just a thought. Personally I enjoy the quiet servers.
