You have gone too far, this is the end

Congestion hasnt been a thing since the end of week 1 of DT

at some point they have to let go of that excuse, let people play with their friends and families.

The population isnt the population of EW or SHB, it hasnt been in a while, there is no need for all of this.

Also "just dc travel" also does not work because you cant join FC's.

What do you Congestion had not been a thing? I still see server status as congested.

They're referring to server congestion, meaning it takes an excessive amount of time to log into the game due to servers reaching maximum capacity with online players, similar to what happened in Endwalker. This expansion hasn't seen that issue, except maybe during the first week, and it varies by location. They (Square Enix) are deliberately changing server status to 'congested' to redirect traffic to less populated servers, yet they're doing so without allowing players to move to their preferred home worlds first. Consequently, we're still restricted. I've been unable to transfer for nearly three months, and it's uncertain how much longer this will continue. It's causing severe distress and damaging the game experience to the point that it's no longer enjoyable to play.

Even when the login queue's weren't atrocious, there were still several instances of people in zones. There's a difference between login congestion and server congestion. Just because there's isn't a large spike in logins anymore doesn't mean there's a huge difference in the total people playing at a given time, especially given plugins came back that stopped people from getting kicked from the afk timer and all the gposers/modders that didn't raid/do msq early on started playing again.
