It's entirely your fault for not paying attention to the story enough to enjoy it.

Try having your partners/roommates log you in an hour before you get home from work (Even two hours before) if you have people at home to do so.

If you don't have that option, wake up early on your days of and play in the morning (CST) - no queues to worry about then.

There also wasn't Covid and a surge of hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of players from a different, dying game for any other expansion. Please keep that in mind.
