2 problems are here, that I can see.
1)The way to get around the lock out number (it should be 666, but I've seen over 1000 in it for 1 faction abusing this system)
2)Too many campaigns. If the over populated faction had to sit in a queue, people would stop trying to goto the zerg faction due to wait timers. Having said that, if the queue timer is more than 10 to 15mins, it's clearly to long and other compaigns need to open.
There is no problem. All 3 factions had full pops almost 24/7 the 2 weeks before, with AD as the weakest faction. The only reason for a drop in population in DC and EP would be players giving up and leaving to PvE instead of fighting. The system is also designed to balance itself out with the dominant faction getting 2v1.

The addon is not released that shows the numbers, you don't have to take my word on it just use the API and check it.

At pretty much any time of day, the map is either Full DC or EP, or some combination of the two with AD squished into the very south. It makes for very tough and challenging combat to always be outnumbered, as well as having to truly make the most of your resources and coordinate attacks on the right targets.
I think it would be kind of boring to be on a map where your team has 3 times as many players and all you do is zerg around trying to find stragglers, lay siege to empty keeps and generally have 'victory' spoon fed to you. But, to each his own, have fun!

You've created your own hell, a cyrodiil campaign where you can stare at each other till you log off. I hope you enjoy it.

Quite literally every other Alliance on every other Campaign on NA at 1/3 bars of population except Bow AD at a full 3. Such balance, wow.

Its a megaserver. I would expect at least one campaign with full 3 alliance. Its not AD faults. Blame EP and DC for being ***.

Actually, I feel that the ones who choose to fight in a campaign where they steamroll the competition due to having such greater numbers, are the ***. That includes Synapse, and whoever else doesn't switch to a more balanced campaign, or to a campaign that needs help.
I agree, Ritsuko. I believe that it would be better for everyone if they made a queue based on the ratio of population not just capping out the total per faction. This would make it more fun for people that are having huge odds type times, and also promote people to goto servers that are more balanced.
