It would depend on the sever, that's why the instance idea was proposed instead because of the issue that some servers (such as mine) would just come in their droves of thousands.

Instancing the event into parties would be an appropriate solution but the downside would be it would loose the 'community' feel that would really make this event interesting.

This seems to be the biggest issue, but it's also an interesting one.

FFXIV can be too safe and convenient and worry about stepping on peoples toes and causing offence or inconvenience.

It'd be nice for them to take a risk for once and do something dangerous, difficult and daring in a normally safe (and increasingly empty) space.
