As someone who is on Balmung, RP is still as easy to find as it used to be, whether it's by attending the numerous RP events every week, doing walk-ups at the Quicksand, joining RP LS's and FC's, or utilizing the RPC and tumblr to make connections. I've played actively on Balmung since launch, put myself out there and networked a ton, and I still meet new faces in Balmung's RP community even this long into the server lock. Unless you're perhaps someone with a known history of being rude and inconsiderate to other people who can only rely on fresh blood to the community who are unaware of your attitude and reputation, in which case it sounds as if the issue would be you and not the server, you should have no issue on Balmung. If you think the grass is greener on Mateus, you don't have to transfer, you can just roll an alt there, since it's not like you need to immediately have a maxed out character just to RP. Cheers!
Whether you are correct or not about the individual and their known history, the rest of this is a bit skewed. If you don't mind throw away RP, then sure! There's tons to be had by walking into the Quicksand. Of course you are likely to have a giant Xaela walk up and offer you some rather ridiculous unwanted anatomy. Now, if you want quality RP with long-lasting connections, character arcs, and stories you are a lot more limited. And if you are in to something like Keeper RP or just tribal/shroud stuff, you have two options on the RPC. One is dead and the other is so inactive it will only provide role play once every few months.

There are no other options and starting a new FC right now is extremely difficult precisely because there is no new blood coming into the server. If you like the FC you are in or enjoy pickup RP at the Quicksand, then great! For everyone else that doesn't fall into that bucket though it is a pretty serious problem.
