It's sort of a lesser of two evils situation.
People always want to play on the more populated servers, however its better for the game long term if people are spread out. Otherwise the new player experience is pretty shitty. Without character restrictions, people would get more and more concentrated and new players would be left with two choices:
1) Play on the server with lots of people, which is laggy, slow, and has queues
2) Play on a low population server, and walk around in a ghost town.
Square enix doesn't want either of of those, because they cause complaints:
1) Game is laggy, game sux
2) Game is ded, game sux.
So they have limits. The alternative is megaservers, but I rather like the oldschool server based communities.
