New Servers?

No, I didn't miss that fact. However, we also got server upgrades for Heavensward, yet look at the issues still happening/present. I'm not denying that they are putting money into it, but as I have said, they could upgrade from a Pentium II to a Pentium III and nothing would change that dramatically but it would still be considered a server "upgrade." They aren't very transparent about these kinds of things or what exactly an "upgrade" is. This is probably a bad analogy, but look at the technology used by the WiiU vs. PS4 and XBox One. It feels like Nintendo is a generation behind in technology and it shows in sales and popularity. While it had some quality titles, the WiiU was held back because of that and ultimately it didn't compete so well. I feel like the same thing is happening here with SE and if they fixed a myriad of these issues by fixing the issues that are present due to server stuff, they would get the influx of players that they ultimately are looking for to justify it.

I get that people like being on those big servers but the game was never designed to have so many players on one server while the rest lie forgotten; not a single day goes past without someone on Balmung/Greg reporting issues which only exist because of the strange imbalances in population. I think some people would naturally move away if there were free transfers to a smaller world in spite of the obvious inconveniences (several of which need fixing at some point). A hard block on new accounts there (not alts) would also help, though again it would upset some people too. It just seems to me that constantly supporting this game breaking population imbalance is not really the correct solution.
