I don't think the issue here is the players faults or the server of choice. It's Square Enix who underestimated the amount of people that were going to play or just that they weren't prepared for it or the errors occurring. They've had unscheduled maintenance and there have been tons of people not able to play across ALL the servers.
So why would we vote for a new server when most of the other servers are getting hit with the same issues? When I played GW2 I played on Jade Quarry, one of the highest if not THE highest population server and let me tell you it was worth waiting to get in. I never had a shortage of people to do stuff with, there was even a budding RP community there I didn't even know about until I was max level.
I'm not saying don't play the game, if you're willing to suffer through bugs and possibly getting disconnected, or not being able to find as much RP locally then by all means play and try another server. I will however stick by the RPC in that I will not be casting a vote for another server - and I'm a 1.0 non-legacy player who doesn't even get to play this weekend and I pre-ordered the game for double the price the first time it released.
If you're not able to play on Gilgamesh right away, play somewhere else in the meantime. I'm pretty sure Balmung is welcoming people with open arms and yet you guys are sort of turning them down. As people have said character transfers will be made available so if you were sticking to Gilgamesh you could always transfer off of there eventually. Or if you were going to Behemoth and/or Leviathan, it still stands you'll be able to join us not far after launch.
