Is queue time just a part of the normal game now?

Look, I don't mean to be rude but:

Ya'll chose Balmung and Gilgamesh. You saw long ago it was on a track to destruction and when it hit the fan, you want SE to fix the issue when they have already offered an out. The endless "I shouldn't be the one that has to move for X reason" is the very reason that SE will eventually have to force some of you to move or split that server. And when that happens, the crying on here will be intense.

Server switches suck, but good, fun people and FC's exist everywhere.

No one saw this coming when 2.0 was released....
AND some of us have friends on here from launch that we don't want to leave.

I'm seriously getting sick of people using the over generalized statement of "well you chose Balmung lulz." Some of us did not. Some of us were here since 2.0. My character is from 1.0, so Balmung was one of the few (legacy) servers I was ALLOWED to be on. /eyeroll

This is absolutely ridiculous how much more significant the queue times have gotten since around Monday. That was around the same time that the afk exploit was stupidly spread around so now EVERYONE is doing it. Yes, it is significantly affecting the server, to say otherwise is moronic.

Earlier today, at like 12-1ish in the afternoon, the apartment building in Ul'dah was so crowded that I could not enter the building. I got an error message saying the zone was full. This was most likely from the number of people trying to hide being afk. Especially since people are trying to scare others into thinking they can get banned for it when in reality SE will do nothing about the exploit.

A 2-3 hour queue when people who work full time jobs have only a few hours to play each night is ridiculous.

Also the dc'ing issue has not gotten any better. I have been disconnected 3 times in the past three days from just roaming around an area, not loading into an instance or anything.
