While i dont blame you in that choice of yours to join a server you could join, that tends to happen when picking a decent server right at launch. I picked Jung Ma, one of the servers that had up to 2 hour queues and was almost always full, which now usually gets high-standard populations at a time and on weekends can get to over 200 people in the fleet, and ive never seen a planet, ever, that had less than 15-20 people on it at a time, and usually didnt even get that low.
Like i said i dont think your stupid for doing that, but it happens.
