Is Baldesian Arsenal discord a mistake?

[Fiorinol]

Had the same problem as OP. I was one of the party leaders for one of the groups in one of the big discords. We spent roughly 4-5 hours just organizing for a fragment run and trying to queue in. No new instance would spawn, and when one did, another discord group got in, half of their players had Ozma mounts, and we got more or less told to go kick rocks.

This also sucks for random players just wanting to go in without wanting to bother with this Discord nonsense, because every instance available was monopolized by 56-man groups. Some discord servers on some data centers are now jotting down who is "sniping" and banning/removing/griefing players who just pick up a portal. I don't think the portals are anyone's property. Personally, there are some players on that discord I have on my blacklist that I would rather avoid.

This content is very frustrating. 5 hours for 12 fragments while all the hardcore players are rushing the content (And also monopolizing instances) feels like we're just going to miss out on Ozma.
