They also had Pippin EX not long after that iirc. So they had two solo instances, not far apart, that were taking up the instance server space. It was definitely a good time for anyone who decided to level crafters/gatherers until the line-ups(yes, I remember those lines and standing in them...I was stuck at Raubahn for almost the entire early access of Stormblood) cleared out. I decided at that point if it happens again, I would just go level my crafters and gatherers - thankfully they changed it, and hopefully they keep any quests that are early in and require a solo instance to be able to be split where you either go talk to person A and do the instance, or go to person B and do an overworld quest.
