    Queueing System for solo instances

    I generally like to add some solution suggestions to my complaints so here's an idea for the Coldsteel issue:

    Add a queueing system for solo instances. This way, an actual line is formed and people can go off and do Fates, gather, craft, gold saucer, erp, whatever they normally like to do while waiting for queues to pop, and not wait near Raubahn, constantly clicking away and trying to brute force their way in. It should also have less room for error than having a bunch of people constantly sending in a request to get in. A queue would neatly organize things in a workable "line." You'd like get less complaints as people would see actual progress towards getting in rather than feeling like it pure luck (which it honestly is).

    This doesn't even have to be a permanent thing but a temporary measure used when such situations are expected (like future expansions) and should be relatively simple to implement considering how queueing systems already exist in the game.

    You know a system like that takes more than a few hours to create and implement right? By the time they do that the problem will have corrected itself naturally. Though for the future this may be ok.

    If only there was some sort of queuing system already built into the game they could use... oh, wait.

    This is not the first time it happened. I would probably be more lenient on the dev team if this was the first time, but it isn't. They also said they learned from those previous times. I was honestly expecting a similar system to already be in place as this was a foreseeable situation.

    Also, on a personal level, it probably doesn't help that I have been up since a bit before the servers went online; so rather irritable due to a lack of sleep.

    Well I certainly don't want to experience this anymore in the future
