The Firmament CONJESTED

[Ceridwenae]

Yeah, I'm on Zodiark too. I have been gathering, crafting and turning in since just after 11 this morning when the content could be accessed (and enjoying it, make no mistake). Our server's progress was great, and it was nice to feel part of working towards something in this way. So I'm off to gather things, and decide to craft before returning to hand in and do the FATE. I get there, to Foundation, 10 minutes before, and meh, can't get in. On my own server. And when I finally do get in, it's all over and there's a bunch of people from other servers, deciding to take their "train" to the next server to do the same. Don't get me wrong. These people have been doing their work too, so I don't begrudge them the extra tokens on one hand. However, when it actually stops me getting into the thing on my own server, I have to think there's something a bit squiffy about this set-up, and it's leaving something of a sour taste after a really fun day.

So, I'm asking for one of two things as a fix, one more favourable than the other:

1. People cannot join in with the crafting FATE if it is not on their own server. They can't even enter the instance.

OR

2. Stack instances and somehow mush the results into one overall result for the server, reflected in all instances. This would be my preference (because I don't like taking shinies from others as in the first solution I have here), but I'm not in charge of this thing and don't know how this stuff works, don't know what SE can implement to alleviate this situation. I'm just a disgruntled customer, who has been waiting for this for months and subbed back to the game for it, and I'm disappointed in this poor handling of what was always going to be a very popular addition to the game.

EDIT, post rant. I have no real idea if people visiting from other worlds is the true issue here, so preventing them from entering the instance may not even fix the issue. It's my hope that SE will look at this and figure out something more in the way of the second solution so no one misses out, regardless of home world.
