It's even worse now.

You wanted to do RDM while the MSQ resolves itself? Can't - There's an instanced portion that, instead of just booting you at Raubahn, will straight up kick you out of the server.

It's gotten to the point where the only thing I can do is FATE farm or grind Hand/Land but we'll be locked into going in an area we cannot access because of the MSQ bottleneck. I sincerely hope that they will reconsider MSQ bottlenecks in terms of area visiting in the future, so that at least we have other things to do while this happens.
