This game has WAY bigger issues than some server problems.

Another thing I would like to add is that i'm terribly disappointed with Square-Enix when it comes to the main scenario. Thus far it's a massive step down from the 7th Umbral Storyline from 1.0 which wasn't amazing either. Once again there is a hindrance which keeps the story from being interesting because there's so much unnecessary fluff to get players to level 50.

It's so easy, so disengaging, so uninteresting that it becomes annoying to even do. This is coming from a person who praises story quests, but thus far from what i've done; A Realm Reborn has the absolute worst story in any Final Fantasy title, including the first two.

Yeah, I was ok with the generic kill x/fetch x quest design 1-15 because I felt it was a tutorial to teach you how to play. Then I ding 21, start doing story quests again, and I'm /dancing in NPC's, picking up random crap off the ground, and killing random mobs to complete the quest of "kill this amount of an enemy that has nothing to do with the story" with little to no story to be found.

Why? This is incredibly boring, if this was the story in a single player game, the game would be rated 3/10, and the 3 simply would be for the graphics.

Horrible story progression, boring fluff inbetween dungeons which are fun. How about you just tell me to go to the dungeons and not make me collect honey for some guy who has nothing to do with anything?

The dungeons themselves have no story, no plot, nothing interesting either, but at least they're fun for now. "Go here, kill everything inside". Trash - > boss - > loot will eventually get boring too. Where's starting naked and no skills/abilities/mp/hp and needing to find capsules, splitting it properly between classes who need it, and slowly unlocking your party? Where are the objectives? The need to avoid aggro or you lose time(Nyzul), find the mob family you need to kill, don't aggro the NM's because it'll waste time or potentially kill you, the rush to go fast and skip things you don't need to complete the objective where is anything interesting like we had in FFXI dungeons? All I see is "kill trash, kill boss, collect loot". Where is all the cool stuff?

Why is that all dungeons are? Why don't they have interesting innovative mechanics like FFXI or single player games do?

You mean just like all other MMOs?

Dungeons should NOT be the place where stories are told, least of all large-group ones.
