72 player instances make Forked Tower incredibly painful to do.

I liked 144 people better. Not sure why they reduced it.

almost never have a full 48 people at a high enough level who are willing to go in.

Probably a temporary issue. It's only been out a few days. I'm not even max level or in gear yet, so I'm sure many are in that same boat.

It really should have just been how CLL and Dalriada handle it

They most likely looked at the data and saw that BA and DRS were more enduring than CLL, Dalriada and DR. Because while people struggle to get parties for CLL, Dalriada and DR, the discords have still been doing BA and DRS regularly.

I'm sorry what? Who's having trouble getting parties for CLL, Dalriada, or DR? I can picture Dynamis just due to population scarcity but certainly not Aether.

1. People find they have to solo DR in many cases. I've seen people complain about this for years, even on Aether.
2. People on the EU data centers were saying for years (on these forums) that they were struggling with getting a party for CLL.

I just use PF to get a 5-8/8.
The ONLY issue with DR in my book is the 10min wait time AFTER sitting in PF for between 5-30mins.
Got an 8/8? Cool, in you go. It shouldn't require the full duty cap of players to let you in, not anymore.
With 8/8 it may make it easier to match with DF, I don't know.

Can't say I've ever had an issue getting a group for CLL/Dal.
