All right, let me lay it down for most of you because you don't seem to understand this little thing.
WE DO NOT OWN BALMUNG.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Anyone saying that the restrictions are good because they keep the riff-raff off the server hasn't yet realized that the riff-raff is already here, they were here before they themselves were here chances are. If you were here from day 1, they got into Beta.
Anyone saying that we'd be caving in to non-RPers or whatever have you needs to stop that right now because it's not our server. It's an UNofficial RP server, and UN doesn't stand for United Nations in this. It stands for "non" as in "not" as in "SE don't owe us shit".
With that said, I feel the need to address another thing.

Chances are, if you want a smooth gameplay experience, it's not on their toaster of a login server, it's on your toaster of a computer (worse still, PS3) or your line being ass (and this has SO MANY possible reasons for it I'm not going to fault you if it is). I have a computer that is severely hampered by my graphics card and the only time I have problems are twofold - Odin and Hunts.
Their instance server being atrocious is already documented but that has nothing to do with the restrictions on Balmung since that combines people on the same Data Center.
The problem is that we can't devise proper workarounds beyond transferring onto Balmung because we have no idea what the hell is going on in those locks. If it's the botters ruining it, then yeah there's not much we can do about that except double down on the reports and essentially help SE catch them in the act so they can actually do something about it. If it's AFKers we can do our part in logging out. If it's all on their end we can raise the issue often and loudly that they start thinking it's a good idea to not run their login server on a toaster.
More importantly, we have an expac launching with a new race. Imagine how hard it's gonna be to make your inevitable Au Ra alt.
