Everything is dead?

You are right that normal Dungeon Queues are fast. Almost instant if you play as healer like me. But for the 8 man raids I waited 600+ minutes total for the first one ( in 3 different sittings ) with no luck until a high level carried me like I said previously. The two others I waited about 160 minutes and 200 minutes respectively before a high level felt sorry for me and carried me again both times. Different times, different players carrying.

The raids were: Rhitalyn, Castrum and Prateorium. Basically killing the 3 main baddies and ultima weapon and then that posessed wizard guy pretty much. And I'm pretty sure they were required to progress through the MSQ.

RP stuff and goofing off sounds fun but that's not close to being possible. Every Duty Finder group is a wham bam thank you mam kind of run there's no skill involved or anything that might pique an interest in anyone and there's no relationships to be formed and the world is dead everywhere.

Seems to me there's no meaningful interactions you can have with any other player whatsoever except for the odd high level feeling sorry for your low level ass begging on the streets.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its because youre on a japanese datacenter without ticking all your language options/ playing when everyone in Japan is asleep/at work

You can still be in ARR at level 57 if you buy the complete edition.

My FC pal had to get me to go to SB locations to get him SAM gear as he was still doing HW content, he'd just levelled up a lot.

I've absolutely no idea where I am. Did buy the complete edition, though. And the last MSQ thing I did was kill a snake (leviathan?) in the water on a kind of boat/ferry thing.

You could test your theory by queuing up for Rhitalyn yourself and see. Server and Day of the Week probably plays a role but timezones and languages had nothing to do with it I'm pretty sure.

Im on an EU datacenter and play in EU times with all languages ticked so I can get a queue for that in like less than a min. It does make a difference, timezones make a difference because if youre on a japanese data center you will only match with people on that datacenter, aka mostly japanese people, and if you don't have all languages ticked, youll only match with japanese people who've marked that they speak english.
