Hi team,

This is not a bug, and I'm not sure where I should really put this, but I have a problem with how Instancing is currently operating in FFXIV.

I'm on a smaller server. Stormblood zones are currently instanced. Instancing appears to be a setting you can toggle at the server level to help reduce congestion. This is leading to unfortunate results that complicate elements of the game.

On my server there are 12 people in The Peaks. They are evenly split among 3 instanced zones.



Having 4 people per instance complicates getting parties in-zone together for activities and makes Rank-A or Rank-S hunts difficult to organize. This feature is not very useful on lower-population servers.

Is there a way for instancing to engage when a zone's population reaches a certain value? That would be a much better experience for the players.
