Just a thought to maybe help the instance issues...

My boyfriend and I group through everything! However all of the class quests and storyline quests that are instanced do not let you have more than one person enter them at a time.

For the class quests I can understand this... to a point... its not like I need the help to complete the quest. As a conjurer they provide just enough challenge to make them doable but not super easy.

However, when it comes to the storyline quests where we all get the same story, why not allow us to enter them in groups of 4 at least? First it would make the individual instances for story quests go that much quicker, also you would have less instances attempting to be accessed since you have 4 people in for one instance instead of 1. I am not a math major, but these seems like a rather helpful idea.

If you are worried about the difficulty or this making the story quests to easy, then do what you do with the levemetes and provide an option to increase the difficulty.

Anyway, just a thought that might help. I have no idea if it is even doable but it seems like it would help out a lot by reducing the amount of people who want to enter an instance.
