We have what, 50 different servers on our list including EU servers? It maybe 3-5am EST, but was almost noon over seas when I tried the first time. I'm guessing even the EU players are quitting. Back during ARR and Heavensward I could play all hours of the night and have no issues. It just shows that people have cleared the content or are getting bored with it. I'm used to a 30-40 minute wait, but 2 hours is completely unreasonable for a story mission.

As for leveling a tank. I'll repeat this again. If I have to play a class I don't want to play just to clear through the story, the game's too dead to bother paying for. If I still have problems this weekend I'll switch to JP and see how that goes. I can speak the language well enough to get by with the community there.
