While that may be true, for later in the week... on a Tuesday, after reset, queue times for Weeping City are generally a 5 minute max waiting period. Granted it did give me time to finish off the daily beastmen quests, I'm one who prefers to get the weekly lock content done as soon as possible so as not to forget and then run the risk of missing out on a drop. Selfish I know, but that's just the way I am.
I didn't say the event was specifically to blame here either, but it's easy to connect the dots to see where the majority of people are : FATE grinding for RNG content. I don't mind what people do, I really don't. I just get frustrated when I can't get something done during my set routine online is all.
