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.
