But with no incentives, few people were interested. That isn't on the players.
All of what you said is absolutely personal, which does make it on you. Your motivations for going there have nothing to do with the basic facts that they said the server was full, they discouraged you and even put a money barrier in your way. You went there of your own accord. If your friends were having a picnic in the middle of the burning forest and the ranger said, "You shouldn't go in there". Is it the Ranger's fault you did anyway? He can't stop you. it's a free country. He's sad that they found your body a week later, but he did warn you.
