No way your saying a multi million dollar game company can't afford game servers?

I've said it plenty, but Odin/Behemoth should be instanced, with FATEs unlocking them.
Stick nine FATE Valkyries around The Shroud instead of Odin, once they're all dead players can form a party and challenge Odin for X amount of time. Odin fight can be better balanced and all around more interesting, and much less "you weren't on at this exact time, sucks to be you!". Similar thing for Behemoth. Just have it so Odin/Behemoth spawn in the same place every time (Urths Fount/Behemoths Dominion), but they're blocked off by a barrier until the FATEs are completed, once the FATEs are completed your party can interact with them to enter a Dhorme Chimera style instance.
Would this make getting Odin Mantels/Behemoth Horns easier? Who the hell cares, these are for vanity gear for crying out loud...
These FATEs are so inept at the moment it's not even funny. They're annoying to camp (again, for vanity gear...), the fights themselves aren't interesting, they're just terrible... The only remotely redeeming quality is that Odin takes on the name/appearance of whoever got the killing shot, but that's it. And even that is kind of pathetic given how damn random the kill shot is going to be with dozens of parties wailing on him...

Odin combo: Cast AoE and disconnect people during the cast so the AoE hits them all!
Whenever I see this kind of post I dunno what to say.
SERVER and TIMEZONE. You don't get it does not mean others in other servers or Timezones don't.
Count yourself lucky. And many others too.
If Odin spawn at Masaume, it also depends on timezone. Close to JP primetime, during, a little after, 9K forever. If it pops like now, only have like 50% chance of 9K.
Hell I actually wait like a few minutes whenever they pop before going anywhere near those FATES. Because I waited for the mass DC to occur then I jump into the fight. Works sometimes
They should just instance these fights for 24 man groups (actual 24 man groups, not one 8 man group and 16 people you don't know ffs) and present them as "new content" like they did with Moogle Mog and our 3 battles with Ifrit and Garuda
At least we'd be able to fight them properly

Perhaps this thread is not for you then. Singing the praises of your own present fortune does nothing to alleviate the woes of those beset by the terror of a hopelessly flawed gaming experience.
