Yeh.. Think I'll pass on that one for a little while at least.
Maybe the CP Campaign that started today will somewhat ease it?
Another thing, I think Asura's population has grown lately, due to returning players, and people moving from other servers. The other day the player numbers were touching 2k.
To that, I would say that it is on the development team to find a way to streamline the grouping process then. I do put up seek and make a perfunctory shout here and there to join groups. But at the end of the day, I still need my items and intend to go in whether I get an invite or not. Maybe it's time to try and implement some sort of Duty Finder for Ambuscade?

Does searching the Legion zone return results of people that are... actually doing Legion though? :x
I farm Legion for drops myself. Crafting mats yo.
The zone for ambuscade and "actual" legion are the same.
If you're in legion farming mats, you're causing ambuscade congestion. Though on Quetz it probably doesn't matter.
Unless they made an unannounced adjustment, actually doing Legion has a lower entry priority than Ambuscade. -_-;; So it's actually the other way around.. Ambuscade causes Legion lockout. It's pretty much pointless to try to get into Legion in the first 1-2 weeks every month since Legion does not use the queue system. I've tried spamming Legion entry for 1-3hrs straight before and not been able to get in. So no... Legion farming is not causing Ambuscade congestion. Though farmers will most likely show up as singles/leaders in /sea.

Priority doesn't matter. Legion soloing takes ambuscade instances. Limited number of instances. Limited number of legions/ambuscades. 9 people aren't suddenly soloing 5 year old legion content.
1 at most 2 are.
I've yet to figure out why the devs have refused to expand the zones used tbh. :/ Or add a rewards-only npc to Selbina or Rabao.. I understand that all of the instanced content in this game have a rather limited number of instances, but there should be SOME way to either increase the number of creatable instances and/or add a secondary Ambuscade zone. Would it really hurt much if they repurposed the Brenner zone for instance? How often does "Abjhalis Isle-Purgonorgo" actually have people in the zone?
“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.”
That was part of my point. Don't blame Legion'ers for Ambuscade issues. (There really aren't that many of us after all. XD Plus, we're not getting into Legion unless the Ambuscade queue is empty.)
Ask for increased number of instances, ask for an afk timeout to limit griefing like I suggested earlier, ask for something that can help many w/o harming any.
Complaining about people using the Legion zone to do Legion is like complaining that levelers are slowing down your HTB farming by doing actual mission fights. :/ Players using the zones for their original intended purpose are not a problem in any way.
