Why is FOTM in Lions Arch?
Overflows for cross-server partying is why.

Any other dungeon doesn’t need it, so is there a reason apart complete failure and epic kitten levels at ANet?
FOTM is an all-levels dungeon. Everyone is bumped up to level 80, so anyone from a lvl 2 player to a lvl 80 player can participate. So a central area that isn’t filled with mobs that can kill the lowbies is needed. Thus, Lion’s Arch.

I have no problem with lag in LA and I consider this a good design choice. Have you looked at your problems from client side?

Maybe invest in a SSD drive ?
My Intel 550 120GB always loads busy-hour LA in less than 10 seconds, no matter the player load. Something like a 128GB Samsung 840 will set you back less than a hundred dollar/euro.
