Possible solutions to the instanced battle problems
It's been several hours since we heard any updates, and people are getting more and more frustrated. I think it's time to either remove the solo instance content temporarily, or make it so people have to queue for the solo instance stuff like any other duty in the game. That would at least allow people to go do other things, like fates, gathering, or at least explore around, opposed to sitting in a single spot for hours upon hours spam clicking an npc.
Unfortunately, asking a playerbase of millions to "try again later" isn't an answer, all that tells us is "It's the players' fault, deal with it yourselves"(weather it's true or not, it doesn't matter, this is how it is coming off to the majority of players at the moment).
Please implement a way to either skip this content, or allow us to queue up for it so there's a line formed.
At the very least there needs to be more communication. I get the dev team is slammed and drowning in the issues, but there needs to be 1 person coming to the forums, or posting on the special news section every few hours with at least a message telling the playerbase that we're not forgotten, that the dev team is still working hard on a resolution. Even a simple "We're working towards a resolution" message of some kind every 3-5 hours would be greatly appreciated by the many thousands upon thousands of people trapped right now
