Some people defend it pretty hard. Hope, now you understand how the hell some servers can put crazy numbers and not be full. Piken is a great example of failure of this system. They dont care about balance, they care about houres of F2P servers working, welcome to the real world young mate. They probably would like to vanished all those servers at all (aka alliances) but some hardcore players (with money to spend) are devoted to them, and it is a big problem for ANet.
