housing conundrum: there needs to be a better way.

[Jojoya]

It's just a fact of Dynamis that there is no community or people in queue, so you have to choose retainers, IS, house or 4/8 man content at any given time. Can't do both or do IS while waiting because that queue will never pop.

There is community. It's just not as large as it is on other data centers. Sticking around to be part of it would make it bigger.

There are people in queue. The queue might be longer than other data centers but being flexible with what job you're willing to use can help.

Now if all you're after are the moogle tomestones, then sure go to another data center for the quicker queues.

But it helps to remember that communities form because people choose to help create them. As the saying goes "be the change you want to see".
