If you're going to make everything near- impossible to box, and force people into the newest content for anything close to decent exp, let alone loot, merge the servers for christs sake. Every zone in this expansion requires crowd control, and at any 1 time there's maybe 1 bard and enchanter on in my server who are not part of a box group. No one wants to be in Skyfire, it's the worst zone I've ever encountered in 19 years, OT isn't much better and I'm incredibly tired of it, and everything else requires crowd control. You wanna force people to group, fine, but that requires actual players.
I wonder with the /pick feature if it would be possible to have just one server. One server to rule them all!
