Agreed.
In the few comments I've made here about numbers imbalance I always tried to specify that it's not just Syrtis who farm. All realms have a (evergrowing) number of players who's sole concern is their own RP count.
Given that Syrtis is the realm that outnumbers the other 2 most of the time, you'll also have the biggerst share of RP-whores. And of course there's also the newer player, who "grows up" seeing nothing but hiding inside forts and farming.
Splitting up at zerg intentionally is maybe hard to do (unintentionally however ... :P).
As for RP. There have been a few suggestions of adding a purpose to those numbers. However imho, even if it's just a cosmetic reward, this would only promote farming and rp-whoring even more.
For me personaly, the only way to deal with it given the current game's state, is to make fun of everyone who mentions his or her rp count like it matters.
It would help if NGD fixed some spells and re-added cooldown on cancelled spells to give the outnumbered force some more 'tools' to work with, but I guess that's food for one of the other topics ...
