Yes it's a problem and yes discord servers do lots of things from organizing hunts, to BA to the Firmament. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The problem isn't the organization or the people hanging out but the fact that SE didn't have the foresight to realize that one instance was going to be a major problem. Lets hope they can remedy this quickly and add more instances. i'm personally against locking people out but I can understand why people are upset.

I would imagine that the "emergency measures" that Yoshi-P referenced is, likely, instanced areas for the Firmament. That is pure speculation, however - but I feel it would alleviate a lot of the issues that people are facing right now. Then, you can adjust the FATE based off how many crafters are present. This algorithm is already in the game, as known by open-world FATEs who adjust mob spawns based on the number of players present.
