Dude, you’re way off base. My server queues EB on most nights, and has significant presence in bls (at least 4 guilds running 10-20, as well as a ton of pugs and roaming guilds). And SBI/GoM can, and frequently do, beat my server in primetime. Every single server in this game, down to t8, is active (ish) in primetime. Any server above t5 can field zergs, literally, around the clock (you just don’t see NSP/IoJ doing it because they’ve had weeks, and weeks, of getting pulverized by stacked t2 servers and their map completion mega zergs).
And by the way you say balance? All I see is 2v1s in t2, and always 1 tier server getting a k train matchup in t3. t2 servers hardly are balanced.
Fielding numbers in primetime and maybe running 1 tag on one of the maps is not very active. As I said that’s ok for NA guilds that just care about fighting during their rally time.
And as for balance T2 did reach a balance for a short time when FA and SoS recuited to even things out, but then turned around and immediately started the 2v1 fest you see now.
Lol, you know actually we have 2 tags in EB (pugmander com and havoc com, maybe a guild tag or two), then usually 6-8 tags spread out through the various BLs. You just don’t know the size tier 4 is at apparently. We’re no where near as big as t2, granted, but we’re far from dead.
Also, you can keep thinking we’re a ghost town in OCX, or SEA, or EU, but you’re wrong. Are we at t2 levels? No, but then again, to say we’re not as populated as one of the most populated servers in the game, is not to say we’re not populated.

I’d caution against Tier 2/3 servers right now. Currently 2 out of the potential 4 tier 2 servers (population wise) are in a revolving door situation with Tier 3. The actual yier 3 severs lag far behind in population with both FA and SoS. DB and Yak’s seem save for now, but an unlucky RNG can change the the dynamics on the drop of a hat. A matchup with Yak’s or DB with FA/SoS could lead to Yak’s or DB being pushed down; an other option is Yak’s being pushed up and a Tier one server coming down.
All in all a rather volatile situation. My bet eould be Tier 4 if you’re after stability. Likely not as populated as you’re used to, but.
