The server ratios that have gone from bad to worse prove people quit or move servers due to imbalance. Blizzard would know more than we do. Which is why I really want to know their philosophy around Classic issues like this.
You pretty much just answered your question. Why give for free what players are willing to pay to solve. Pay for a server transfer or just reroll. The latter wasnt a big deal for the early life of the game and the former for later in classic if you were heavily geared/farmed. TBC will just make them more crowded as its a gear reset and the ones that did quit can now join in on basically equal footing, to where the masses moved to.
The most they would do at this point is stop people from creating new characters on full realms. But I don't see that happening, as then you get the eventual whining about wanting to join friends/guilds etc. I'd be shocked to see merges, as they have a negative connotation in MMOs. Welcome to modern gaming, where PR and money are more important then the game.
