Please note that this is my opinion & observation and in no way represent the team.
From what I observed, server merge are done within servers that are about the same age. I believe this is to avoid a huge experience gap between the players. The experience gap wouldn't affect players at level 85 much but it will greatly affect players that have not reached level 85 as it means that players from a younger server will be facing higher level players more often. Due to this factor, it would be impossible to match servers based on top player's power or server's power. For example , if we matched server based on power, it would be s100 (older but little p2w) matching with s150 (younger but heavy p2w). There will be even power, but there is a huge experience gap if we were to match by power. Therefore, it will be difficult to merge server down to as few as possible. In my opinion, I would rather merge with server around my server age. I would rather get my ass kicked by one powerful player rather than get my ass kicked by almost everyone in the older server. Anyway, I believe the process to choose the server take a long time, which is why there are only a couple of server merge in every week.
New servers are always being opened to accommodate new players. New players wouldn't want to start in a old server, nor do they want to wait for a long period of time to start in a new server.
As for the snarky post on facebook, I'll feedback to the team about it. Thank you for pointing it out!
