Aether Data Center Down

I can't believe I'm about to agree with the devs for once, but...
It amazes me that choosing gilgamesh and balmung is "SE's fault" and players are expecting them to reprogram data centers as a result of this. Last time I checked, you had the option to choose whichever server you wanted at the start of the game. While I do agree that the launcher shouldn't kick you back to desktop and I agree that queue position doesn't count down properly and I agree that a data center's total server lobby count shouldn't all be interlinked and it's poor design on their part, you can't really be serious about asking them to rearrange all the servers just because a lot of people went to those 2. By that reasoning, every time a certain server becomes "Popular" it should get it's own data center, and new content for the game would grind to a halt (thus depopulating those now-isolated servers you bandstanded to have moved in the first place).

No, it isn't SE's "fault" but they aren't fixing it, either. When a player "chooses" to roll on a certain server, it's not like there's a SE warning about high population.
