Then they're welcome to choose that. But they need to understand that along with Limsa having 300 people standing around gawking, another 'perk' of a crowded server is 300 people camping every open plot.

SE has stated all servers must have the same number of houses under their system. Housing isn't considered to be a problem until all plots on the data center are full. Balmung has no plots? Guess Balmung has too many people. Incentivized server transferring exists so that players will solve the problem of overpopulated servers themselves.

Players are allowed to prefer overpopulated servers, but then they will have to deal with the downsides of playing on a server that's overpopulated. Sort of self-explanatory.
