Forked Tower runs are impossible to get organized

[Doki]

I have all 12 phantom jobs maxxed. I have full +1 gear on tank. I have 59 ciphers stored. I want to run tower for the +2 upgrades & mount, but seeing how the early runs have been going for people has NOT made me enthusiastic about it at all. I will probably go back to cosmic exploration to finish off my 500k on fisher and get mount before seeing if getting 48 people in has gotten any easier. It really makes little sense to me SE chose to do another convoluted system for this stuff. I guess updating their alliance \ queueing system to allow more than 3 PTs to enter together is too hard for their coders.

It's literally already in the game, DRS allows for alliances of 6 parties.

Honestly, they can keep all the stuff that comes with it being in an instance like the cipher entry system, the support fate, waiting for the weather, etc. Just let us queue into the zone with an alliance of all 48 people.

I sure hope rolling in and out of instances trying to get all your parties into the same zone isn't the fun 'old-school' FFXI gameplay they had in mind.
