Apparently the Japanese servers have zero issues

Eh I'd rather deal with the entry queue than have Raubahn cockblock at every click. At least server queuing is a passive activity; I can do something else while in line.

Edit - And as you can see from my profile I ended up transferring to Tonberry for this.

I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt however, as a Coeurl to Tonberry refugee, that Raubahn here isn't being mobbed (there are like only 4 other people here), and that I MANAGED TO GET INTO THE INSTANCE ON MY FIRST TRY.

Will update when I get to Pippin.
