I for one am glad I'm on the same data center with them. Because they are a high population server, there are always people on, effectively shortening our queue times for duties (granted maybe not atm, but that's due to the amount of Rdm and Sam in queues right now) and bringing life to our duty finder. My server is far from dead, but once cross server pf went live there's always been stuff on there, even during off times.
Besides, these issues are a thing now because expansion hasn't been up for long, it'll get better once a couple people go back to being inactive as they always do during patches.
So before crying for the high pop servers to get removed, think of the consequences.
