Before the rotation feature was about added, the only map that was active was Field of Glory (Shatter). It had the reputation of having the shortest queue times and it became snowball effect from there. The achievements for Borderland Ruins (Secure) and Seal Rock (Seize) were more or less unobtainable. The Frontline roulette didn't really help anything since it places you in whatever map is the most active.

The PvP playerbase in FFXIV isn't big enough in order to keep several separate map queues active. The existing playerbase want the shortest queue times possible and that meant everybody just swarmed the queue for the latest map, Shatter.

The rotation feature forced everybody into the same map, it provided variety to matches and gave newcomers a chance at earning achievements on all maps.
