I'm pretty sure the devs are aware of that problem and will likely fix it one day. Probably not like the mythic bandaid aka simply increasing the speed you level up, but to make every tier viable for the whole RvR conflict; the downbolster was just a first step imo.
I don't know. But releasing T4 with little thoughts of slowing down the draught is not a sustainable plan of the gaming atmosphere. I would delay T4 as much as possible until I've come with something that keeps the flow populated and smooth without becoming boring. The debolster method is just one minor step in one direction that however is still far from being any good/serving the community at all.

If they were to be aware of the problem why are they allowing it to happen? Why are they allowing players like me get tired of the development of Return of Reckoning when they "know it"? Because they allow me, won't hinder me and are always open for criticism of the development (until it becomes absurd) and "fixing it one day" is not just enough to stop the current draught.
Ah, yes, let's hold off another 3 months with releasing T4 while everything is broken in T2 and T3 because of an unplanned T4 code push that had to be reverted! The draught would surely stop, as literally no one would be playing in T2 and T3 anymore by the time T4 would be in an optimal state. We do not have the luxury of time when the lower tiers remain broken until T4 is fully released.

First of all we are going to have a massive influx of new players that will fill the lower tiers with the T4 patch. Then there's the debolster system that allows high leveled players to go back to the lower tiers as well. And, finally, we are planning to incorporate the lower tiers into the end-game. Your doom-saying of a population draught in the lower tiers is based on nothing but speculation over a week of broken keeps, which will be fixed with the T4 patch. Players will be able to enjoy T2 and T3 again without issue.

Thank you all for this. It is a real achievement.

It also blows the plans I had for the next couple of days out of the water.

Maybe you should read the OP again (it seems like you didn't read it at all tbh): T4 is released now/earlier, mainly because to fix the RvR and all bugs that happened in the last patch attempt + the rollback.
Furthermore there is a bazzillion of players "stuck" with alt number 10 in in T3 lvl35/rr40; just because some players discovered this project lately or stopped playing a while ago to come back "when the game is more complete", the development of the server can't be halted until they reached max level...
This project has still alpha status (also mentioned in the OP) and ofc there will be an incomplete gaming experience for a longer time.
Btw: the problems you complain about were not adressed by mythic in 5 years; i don't know why you think they could be adressed here when not even the server has all it's areas complete. Fixing the low-population problem in lower tiers requires something completely new, not "only" restoring the old content.
