I cannot speak for all data centres, but for primal its nigh on impossible to get a full 24 people willing to run CT/ST/WoD.
I badly want to obtain all the music from these, because the music is amazing, but no matter how many times I queue, at different times of the day, I find myself the only person in the queue for 30min+.
The one time I did manage to get into WoD, the faded copy didn't even drop from my party's chest ): It's hard enough even getting a group, but to get all the way to the end and not even see any faded copy drops is rather disheartening.
Given the difficulty of forming a full alliance of members, and the length of the dungeon (not like the rest of the content you can undersize/faceroll repeatedly and quickly), could you please consider making this either individual loot from each boss, or allowing multiple copies to drop from each chest?

Mabie add the Sheet Music to the Quest in Mor Dhonna? it would give people who are interested in the music reason to do the quest. The que times for the Crystal tower raids is way too long, no one ques for this content anymore :(

I'm on Primal as well have have been queuing towers quite a bit. It usually best during NA primetime, though I've gotten some random pops in the middle of the afternoon also. I queue English only and I'll check the queues and then go with whatever job looks like it'll make it pop faster. I don't think I've ever seen the queues completely empty....
I think it would be nice if they made some sort of towers roulette / weekly quest with relevant rewards to increase interest or make it so at least one music 100% drop (or maybe both). I don't think I'd mind the drop rate if the queues were faster, and since the queues suck it'd be nice if there were a guaranteed something to roll on at the end. I don't need it to be faceroll easy to get the drops, just.... a little bit more likely... -

if you can get at least 1 full party together it speeds the queues alot
took about 2-5 minutes to get into lab/ct respectively -

Try it on Sunday. Sunday is a Reddit organized CT day. I've done it the past two weeks and both times got in in under 10 minutes.

I believe the development team mentioned about it before, not sure what happened to it after. -

Patch incoming, hopefully they ninja buff the rates or something for the Orchestrion Roll...

I support this idea. I think even increasing the drop rate to at least one guaranteed drop at the end would help.This way you still need to do the content but at least at the end you have a chance given the content is pretty dead right now. I mean I've spent the last several nights waiting almost 2+ hours for a party and every time nothing. This includes some mornings and some nights during prime time on our data center and it almost seems impossible to get a run in any of the three areas.

Sounds like primal queues were doing well last night around 6:00 est. I've also heard of the Sunday organization. I need to get in on those queues having come into the game after CT's time. That all said, it would be really nice to see even more done to help with queueing for it. 24 players are a lot of players to get together for non current content.
