Their answer is akin to ignoring the issue.
Like throwing a glass water on a burning building and saying that you are actively trying to solve the issue.

Also if an airline overbooks a flight, how is that the passengers’ fault?

No the solution was get thier heads out of thier rear end.
Most popular expansion and they decide to not cap servers and removed realms.
They were basically making horrible choices. And then went with the we will just have the players fix our mistake and im sure there are plenty of brownnosers that will defend us.
I can eat 8 packs of oreo cookies or drive into a wall. Was that Mondelez, Ford motors, the wall company, or my own fault when the consequences show up? Is this a stellar blizzard response? not really but the players did do this over population to themselves.
Cap servers? would this not generate a similar amount of outrage? Players moved by their own choice to these servers and stacked them, wait times were a foregone conclusion. What should blizz have done to cut this short?
Which is fine, my issue is that there were a good amount of otherwise health servers that died due to players telling each other that anything not named faerlina or benediction was a dead realm, when this was not universally the case. Should there be accurate and published blizzard populations? oh hell yes there should be, however:
Would you even believe them if they did post those numbers?
Players flocked with generally unfounded worries of FOMO due to not being on a mega realm and then abused transfers to keep stacking those realms.
What should blizzard do right now to fix the issues?
What exactly do you want them to do now beyond locking servers and opening free transfers?
Not liking the answer is not the same as not getting one.
Again, they have stated very clearly what the options are, you just don’t like them.
Yes. Very simply yes.
Right now? Admit they messed up and work OT to make it right. Sitting back and telling players they chose poorly isn’t going to help repair their reputation.

And do what exactly?
Ironically I doubt there is anything for them to admit fault for. Even is this was their fault 100% would they ever admit this?
Bene and faerlina would still have wait times, how does this solve that issue? were would the surplus of players over the cap go? Would they be force moved or would they be forced to transfer?
I don’t have research and development dept and a team of coders at my disposal. The 70 billion dollar company should have forseen this way ahead of time and reacted.
As such, they chose to ignore it hoping people would quit.
Use the massive profits they make to deal with an issue that has existed for years.

the free transfers werent even working last night! kept telling me, “error, come back at a later time” later like next week blizz? 
It never should have gotten to this point. What about temporarily increasing server caps? What about not allowing more players on a server than they can hold?

Which is why their reputation is in the toilet, and why you should take anything they say with a grain of salt.
Had they capped it before it got out of hand, it wouldn’t have been a problem. They chose not to, and took the money knowing the boat was headed straight for an iceberg.

dude shut up about this “consequences” bs. People moved to mega-servers during TBC mid-life to avoid DEAD SERVERS, seeking larger player pools to do the content with. This is an absolutely how the modern gaming community wants to play, with more people. The company should adjust to the modern standards if they want to keep charging a monthly subscription. Stop blaming the players, this is so idiotic, wtf.

They said there is nothing that can be done. But you don’t believe them so instead of just accepting reality you keep demanding they do something 
No, there’s nothing they want to do. Big difference.

And here lies the main issue. A server with 5-6k pop is by no means dead, but everyone thinks it is 
Good luck explaining anything to that guy.
