Except that literally won't fix the problem.

I'm running through Heavensward on an alt leveling Red Mage, and I just completed THREE solo instances within the last hour with absolutely no trouble whatsoever. It's clear that its not other people doing content that's the problem.

It's that the playerbase got bottlenecked at the Raubahn quest (and at this point I'm inclined to believe the Stormblood solo instances are allocated to their own server) and the more people that pile up behind them, the worse the problem gets. Closing the other content down so people can progress through the MSQ won't solve anything because that content isn't what's bottlenecking the solo instances in the Stormblood zones.
