At least you get to travel to Aether. Be happy you're not in JP
Late Monday / early Tuesday through Wednesday Mana DC is closed. If you want your reclears you better logout in mana long before reset.
Now that ultimate is out, if you traveled home to get gil/retainers, you'd be out of luck. It was so bad, on Saturday 3 servers of GAIA was closed+entire Mana.
Meteor is not very popular raiding/Ele uses different strat than PF. At the least you are not locked out of your weekly lockouts. You just have to travel like everyone else.
