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!

also regarding this merge that you are saying that you should merge by lvl and not by power lmao. you can take me as an exemple btw that you can outlvl older servers easily even when you never used to get first place at kyuubi(not i get top 1 because our old top 1 player quit ) and if u missed several of them since server began. i got more lvls than ppl from server 269 a server 4 days older than mine , a server i would love to get a merge with unlike server 273 ( power gap btw ranked 10 player on 273 and ranked 10 player on 276 is 10k power , 8k difference btw rank 1 and 10k difference again btw rank 2 players ) but if we go by your rules we have higher chance to get merged with 273 than 269 and simply quit because we aren't relevant anymore dropping from top 1-10 to top 6-53 depending if u were rank 1 or 10 ) which would obvious make every quit dropping from being top 10 on a server to top 53 maybe more because i only discussed a merge with 1 server not 2.
another exemple regarding a server close to mine , server 284 everyone from top 10 on their server is higher lvl and power than people on my server ( only i have higher lvl than them , but the other players are 2-3 lvls behind ) power difference is huge again their top 3 all being stronger than me the top 1 while their top 10 player is stronger than the top 2 player on my server . Again they servers are close to one another and you would think we the older server would be stronger but of course , we would get our ass handed. If my server wants to be in anyway competitive after a merge we would have to get 269 or 280 not 273 or 284 . 269 is all strong players most of the top 10 is stronger than my top 2 ( i think 7-8 ppl are stronger than him ) and 280 is about the same power as 269 while we 276 the middle server are the weakest except for me the top 1.
Days and and levels don't matter as much as power and you know that but you keep insisting you are doing it for the well being of the community that u merge by how close the servers are to one another .
To me it's because you guys are lazy and dont want to check servers which are appropriate in power when its much faster if u just select the 2 closest servers.
Also want to note that the gap between my server and all servers near us is getting wider every day because lack of people to plunder , lack of sage world except sunday sometimes and other resourses i kept mentioning whenever i complained about my server you can find them in several threads i replied it i dont want to type it here again.
