Servers are fracturing communities

But... the devs didn't do this all on purpose? The servers only have so much space and processing power. You say they can fix this but then offer no solutions with a claim of "LoL hire me if you wanna know~" as if you somehow have some magical quick fix that no one else in the world could know about. Even Blizzard has had to lock up servers that were too full. I've seen veteran players from Balmung complain about not only the stability issues with the server itself but the huge queues that happen because the server is overflowing.

Even Blizzard has had to lock up servers that were too full.

And they also implement instances during launches in key areas to soften network spikes. But I've played their stuff during launch of WoD and Legion and the instances were very lagged out. It didn't crash at least, but it was barely playable for the intro map. It's just a band aid for reducing general population to a manageable level. Once the launch was done and active population normalized it was fine and they cut out the instances, but I played wow on a mid pop server just like I do here. Balmung has something like twice the population of the larger to mid sized servers. It's screwed at launch.
