No, we had the exact same issues when early access started. Then they made some changes, and people could start to progress through the MSQ. Only reason it looks like more people are progressing is because our DC has a smaller population than the NA dc's.

I cleared the MSQ block, but had to stop because the areas are just too laggy and now I'm stuck in constant 1 hr+ queues to get into the game.

So I wouldn't transfer, because a) don't give SE more money and b) you're going to just experience the same issues as more people transferring will just make it worse.
