The question isn't a matter of ability but of will. It is a game we paid money for. You're content with waiting and doing other things in the meanwhile, and that's your right - just as it is other people's right to want to power through the MSQ and be upset when the game effectively doesn't work. And what of people who play older content, but were also affected by this? A guildie of mine got locked before getting the Black Chocobo in HW because it too required a solo instance. Then there are people who wanted to run roulettes, who were also affected by this. Are they supposed to look for other means of playing the game, too? I mean, some of these things are what you're suggesting the Raubahn crowds could go and do, but alas - they're locked. People even had the problem of accessing the RDM and SAM job solo instances.

What we have here is two fold:
1. People can play the game however they want and there is nothing wrong with prioritizing MSQ over side-quests, alt classes, and non-battle classes.
2. This affected more than just the pre-access crowd who wanted to run MSQ and thus, points to a much more basic failure on SE's part. I'd be a lot more in agreement with you if truly this only affected The Binding Coils of Raubahn - but it didn't.
