Sadly this is true, a large number of issues with other content (mainly Hunts) are due to the player backup that the Coil lockouts have caused.

The frustrated masses that have been debating and giving warnings about this for months have either given up on coil due to juggling static schedules or simply got tired of waiting for 2.4 and instantly hopped on the Hunt bandwagon as to not lose out on some form of progression.

The fact that these rewards are so ravenously sought after and that people are forgoing coil entirely shows just how detrimental the current lockout system is to the playerbase.

This isn't to say the current implementation of Hunts is any better because it isn't, in reality its a horrible alternative to a terrible system.
