I can't imagine why you'd think having an increased fee for subscription and transfers be a good idea. Why would the guy on Balmung would pay more than my Faerie subscription? Maintenance isn't more expensive, most of it is highly likely to be automated anyways. They're already adding incentives according to their announcement. We just don't have any details as to how much and what exactly it means. Your only good suggestion is #5 which would need to be backed up with free transfers to make sure a hardcore raider on Balmung could bail to a more like-minded server and vice-versa.

Overall, I'm happy with the restrictions for the time being. Also they did mention it was temporary. New expansions coming out are usually huge spikes of pops across the board for all MMOs. When the novelty of Stormblood gets lost on the returnees, things will stabilize and people will be able to transfer freely again.
