EOTM keep getting outnumbered
From what I understood you are complaining about your lack of time to join a green team, you find it unfair and want it to be ‘fixed’ ?

You cannot join specific colors. Your color in EoTM is dependent on your WvW color which is based on your performance from the previous week (as is my understanding).
Green servers are the favored to win in the 3 server match up based on previous week’s performance. Blue are 2nd, and red are typically the ones that performed the worst.
In EoTM, now you have a team of all green servers (which are essentially the winners from previous weeks), a team of all middle, and then a team comprised of the losers from the previous week.
This is why green is typically the most populated and has commanders. You will find the winningest servers end up in green more often.
I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

Are you sure about that?

Based on match results it does an incredibly crappy job of predicting results.
Also ‘Outnumbered’ means there are significantly more enemies than allies but it does not equal to ‘not enough’.

I’ve been on one balanced EotM map before. It was the most boring experience I ever had. A certain guild had all three commanders and were K-training the map. Take your area, go to the right and take the next area, port back and repeat. It took an hour before somone capped the last tower. I left to find a better instance, one where I was outmanned.
I’ve very, very rarely been in EOTM with no commanders for longer than a couple minutes. Don’t get me wrong, it happens, but it has been pretty rare- and my server is pretty rarely green, much more commonly blue.
As long as there is a commander and there isn’t a group on the other side specifically trying to hunt an outnumbered zerg (which is also pretty rare), I find being outnumbered in EOTM to be great. You get bonus xp and you get to recapture your keep more often.
If you’re running into this situation really often, I wonder if it might be more of a timing issue for you than anything else, since I definitely haven’t experienced the same thing. Or maybe when you log onto the map and see no commander you immediately log out? Sometimes maps go a couple minutes between commanders- it’s a chance to hit up the AH and the merchants, or go kill a nearby sentry.
Also as far as leveling, EOTM is a quick way to level but it’s far from the only fast way and it is 100% the grindiest way. If you don’t like grinding (I actually kind of do, for the record- it’s a meditation exercise) you might want to explore zones instead. Exploration (particularly full zone completion- all hearts, POI’s, etc etc) gives good xp and you get additional rewards for completing each zone- and if you get to a point later where you want legendaries you’ll be glad to already have a bunch of completed zones.
It’s also not very grindy, and you get to see the beauty you mentioned.
Watch out also for seasonal zerg events for quick leveling. Some of them, while grindy, give ludicrous xp if you have good AOE ability. The Halloween labyrinth for example- I leveled a necro from around 20 to 80 in there in just a few days.
