Exactly. Balmung isn't the problem here - the problem is the game being too popular and needing more infrastructure to support it. Yes, Balmung was moved away from Gilgamesh because they're the two most populated servers on the game in terms of active players and splitting them up is a smart idea in general. But this was something that was a long time coming - Balmung isn't the sole factor of it.
