Crystal Tower Full Party Queue

I queued for Crystal Tower today with a full party in an effort to reduce the queue time, and we ended up waiting a full hour with the message "Reserving instance..." as the only thing on our DF window. At the hour mark, one of our members had to leave and so we requeued with 7 people. Once we requeued with the 7 of us, it actually started recruiting people and eventually we got in. Has anyone else had this issue with not getting in when queuing with a full party or were we really just searching for an instance for a full hour to no avail, in which case, are the servers really that full?

I queued with 4 other people and got in within 5 minutes. Maybe it is your datacenter? No clue, honestly.

I never usually sit more then 5 minutes top...

I got my CT instance in 1min with a full alliance last night.. Maybe only the cool kids have to wait an hour?

It does make a significant difference sometimes if you are reserving the duty with all the languages checked before you register.

We have been having the same issues on Balmung.

I queued with 3 other people last night on Gilgamesh, E only selected, and got a group in about 10 minutes. That sounds like a bug to me.
