    The most frustrating aspect is that people are getting through it. It wouldn't be as bad if you knew that it wasn't working for anyone and we were all in the same boat. You could easily convince yourself to do something else since it's a 0% chance of success. But it's not like that. Every time you attempt and fail for hours on end, you're reminded that people are getting through but you are not because you weren't lucky enough. It's like a 1/10000 roll. Super low odds but occasionally people will get past it and of course will be happy about it and tell others, which causes you to think "If I keep trying, I'll eventually get in" but no matter how many times you try, it's still 1/10000. If luck isn't on your side then you aren't getting in. It's the illusion of success that makes it so frustrating.

    Yup! Specially if you're playing with friends that are leaving you behind ; ; Or they want you to catch up to run content together.

    Which is quite frankly, unfair. I rather have the servers down for maintenance to put everybody in the same boat. Until it works for everyone.

    For those that like to craft and gather, the people that manage to do get through have an unfair advantage. They can unlock the currents to fly to gather materials faster. I'm assuming that since the patch notes mentioned battlecraft leves being left out, that gathering and crafting leves still exist and that they are at a hub that we don't have access to yet. Having a block this early in the expansion has ripple effects.

    They are indeed there. There is one crafter in my FC that managed to get past the quest this morning. He's in Kugane now doing crafting and gathering leves.

    Any moment now it will be revealed that WHM is cheating on SCH with MNK after having had DRG's baby and DRG is WHM's cousin who is already married to PLD.
