Bring back instances.

If anything, this just reinforces the notion that Ixion should either be removed or given the Odin treatment and given its own solo trial just so it's not decimating an entire zone.

Instances should come back at least for the Lochs. Make it so that Ixion Fate spawns at different times in each instance so there's always an open spot for people doing MSQ.

I just want to do more hunts guys~`

Honestly, I wouldn't mind instances if they included the following options:

1) Choose instance from aetheryte
2) Parties go into the same instance
3) Let you join a friend's instance by right-clicking their name (or something similar)

Having to find a zone line is just silly. :X

[Zumi]

Yes please bring them back.

But there's also a thing called "planning your teleports." Veteran hunters have known this for years. It's too easy to get into the instance you want to, and realistically, SE has 0 reason to implement all the features people are asking for because instances have always intended to be a TEMPORARY measure. I'm sure if it were something they felt needed to implemented on a permanent basis it would be a more polished system. Be that as it may, at least the Lochs on my server is pretty much out of control. I'd love to have 3x S ranks, but at a minimum, zones need to be instanced if people are being gated out of progression due to zone congestion.

This is good for more hunts, fates and even seasonal events. Though this also means that some instances will be empty/dead and waste of space.

Bring back instances.

Only if we can voluntarily swap between them without having to go all the way to a zone transition and/or are automatically placed in the same instance as our party lead.

Once again....why would SE put the effort into implementing stuff like this for a system that is intended to be temporary? The devs have better things to do with their time.
