To fix long queue times:Turn off "Air Force One" GATE until Gold Saucer event is over

I'm the opposite. I cannot stand Air Force One - it's stale, slow, it never really changes... it's just not good content.

The party list is a whole different beast entirely when it comes to client-zone communication, but you still won't get the remaining data necessary to see them in zone.

I couldn't see them, but for a local (not cross-world) party it shows members' HP and such only if they're in the same zone as you. From that I could see that someone was in the same zone, even though they visually weren't.

oh the memories of 2.0 when instances were full ...u queued with a full pt and had to wait

How to fix long queues: Kick people the hell out of Leap of Faith when they're done. I don't need to see a crowd of people emoting and dancing like idiots on the last platform.

Kick people the hell out of Leap of Faith when they're done.

How can the game differentiate between someone who's "done" versus someone who's still trying to complete it? Until you click the goal and accept the reward, there's no way.

I guess you could flag the entire surface of the final island, so that if your character touches it then you're "done" and will soon be booted out. But then the players who want to remain in the instance will simply not hop on until they're ready to leave.

It's a shame people won't leave when they're finished, but the Make It Rain event only lasts another 5 days so I seriously doubt the devs are going to bother addressing it unless it becomes a long-term problem.
