Best Served with Cold Steel

It's likely something that will persist into launch. They're just twiddling their thumbs on this so far.

Shows how misguided and clueless they are even further. They think by just leaving it this way with an allowance of like 100 players at a time it will get better by launch. Not gonna happen and launch is only going to make it worse. People at SE are all fuckin idiots.

Well, it's no longer Stormblood instances that are down, a bunch of servers just went completely down.

So far it's not *quite* as bad as Warlords of Draenor was. For that, the servers were down for almost 5 days after launch. It launched on Tuesday at midnight and the game was not operational at all until sometime the following Sunday. It wasn't just affecting new content. At least here, the new content is offline, but the rest of the game is functional. You can just pretend it's a 4.0 pre-patch and the expansion hasn't launched yet. This is still the #2 worst launch ever though.

That's simply not true. I played WoD at launch. They had the spyglass fiasco and insane queues for the first couple weeks, but by no means were the servers completely inaccessible for days. Not even close. My wife, friends and I capped and were fully geared with pre-raid before the first week was even over. I can link you my armory to prove it if you like, you'll see that I have cleared Heroic instances within 2 days of launch.

In fact I'll just link it:

You can see I have heroic achievements from 11/15/2014...1 day after launch.

I don't understand why they don't just deploy a patch that auto completes these quests and then removes them from the game? It seems like the simplest fix for the congestion issue if they don't want to rent more servers.

Put the quests back in at 4.1 when the crowd has died back down.

We can do something about this! I started a petition to send off to Square Enix. Lets show them we are pissed. https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/raubahn-ex

New Line method, everyone across all worlds line up highest to lowest level. Highest level in the zone always goes first.

Trouble is, it's not the quest itself, it's the general server congestion. Getting rid of the quest will just move the problem farther down the quest line to the next MSQ with an instance.

Lines will not help. The problem is region-wide. Having people on your server form neat lines will not help matters in the slightest.
