    What point are you trying to prove, exactly? The OP says that he is encountering those wait times for "relic quests and main story quests".

    Queuing into a whole lot of low-traffic side content that isn't needed for those quests doesn't prove anything useful here, as far as I can see.

    So only relic and main story quests are the good quests? He also said he has given up after 2 hours waiting. I showed a pic that, when going through DF, depending on what a good quest is to you, and what you are queuing for, 7+ hours can be easy to make.

    So depending on what you queue up for, no matter if it is relic, or main story, or other good quests, if you depend solely on DF, there will be some places that will take forever to run. You agree with me, you just don't like how I said it.

    Non of the Ex-Primals you queued for (4/5 of your queues) can really be classified as "good story", because theres no story aspect to the extreme version of these trials; the whole story as been told using the normal mode before - so unless you show, that the queue times for these normal modes take ages during a time the server is active (aka: not in the middle of the night for the servers region), that point falls pretty moot.

    You only get a point when it comes to Coil, since that only comes in a "hardemode/extreme version" and contains a good story thats locked behind completing the turns.
    Ex-primals never contained any story outside of unlocking them, so you've seen all the "good story" after you unlocked the trial. All the Ex-primals are are more difficult versions of the storymode-fights. And with HW they learned their lesson when it comes to raids and included a storymode specifically so people could play through the story without having to complete challenging content that would prove difficult to queue for (and complete) using DF.

    With the exception of Coil, all content that is related to a story should have reasonable queuetimes during active server hours. Come back here after queueing for the normal modes of these trials and that taking several hours...

    Hey, the Warring Triad Extremes had a singular smacking of story in the unvoiced dialogue with Unukalhai leading up to them. Allagan Danger Room programs simulating the Warring Triad at peak strength, i.e. after having devoured the other members of the triad. Winning participants get their genetic material taken to be used in cloning superior soldiers for the glory of Allag!

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
