    I have been getting on alt through stormblood on Aether. I only used the party finder once and other than that, I have seen no difference in duty finder times or player quality between the two. I have seen a lot of new people on both DCs as well. Many people are taking breaks before the expansion and the free login campaign is also going on. Things will eventually normalize.

    This is similar to my experience. My main and a few alts is on Crystal but one of my higher leveled alts landed on Aether. Just for fun, I tried the first couple of Alexander fights and the warring triad between two RDM alts, one of Aether and one on Crystal. The fights were on the same day, one right after the other. Que time was similar for both. Aether had the longest que by about 5 minutes, but on average it was about the same. Quality of groups was a bit over the map. Truthfully, it felt pretty even as I had smooth runs on both, as well as some not so smooth runs. The Aether one was the only time I remember losing the fight with the giant goblin where you have to use medicine/chemicals to turn into a gorilla and a bird for mechanics.

    The reason I checked both was because waiting on ques on Crystal seemed to be taking longer than normal. I was curious as to what the Aether experience was like after the split. From what I have experienced so far, not much difference. I have also done a few roulettes, albeit not one right after the other between the two data centers, and for when I qued, it has been about the same time to get into a party, and roughly the same quality of players. If I was going in completely blind, I wouldn't be able to tell the two apart.

    Why the f are you comparing clears for old content? Try things people actually know/remember next time.
