The game is very healthy at the moment, I think we have to wait to 7.0/7.1 to really see where we are heading.



I am on Odin and I have never had a simple log in without a small wait...even if its 100 people in the queue it still means the world is at capacity, using new worlds/DCs like materia doesn't bode well with your argument because a lot of those players were fighting between higher ping or leaving friends behind so that is a more complicated matter.
I hope you know most of these queues are from bots that you can literally see spawn outside Uldah or New Gridania, they come out of the floor in literal droves and just tp all over the place, else there wouldnt be a 30 people queue at 4 AM on a saturday on EU.
