Alpha and the plague of Performance Parties

[Payadopa]

I find it interesting that the OP equates musicians who play music on virtual instruments in game immersion breaking. I'd say it's the exact opposite. lol

So i love the performance mode as much as the next person (i use it most days in secluded areas), however im starting to get tired of Alpha having between 3 - 6 parties of Performers in Gridania all day everyday non-stop.
Like there will be parties of 6+ wanderers all neatly stood about playing music which is cool at 1st but gets really old when no matter the time you try and log in theres a bloody queue, and when you do get in its a metric tonne of people all jus vibing to bands.
And final complaint, why right next to the Aethryte? everytime i go anywhere the Performer(s) are on the aether ready to blow out your eardrums with a clustertruck of noise, cant we step away from the crystal and find somewhere else to vibe so we dont ruin the immersion for others?
so two things resally
1 - why is it on alpha that youve all decided to make the concert server, cant you stay on your servers and host concerts?
2 - if we must have nonstop concerts of catgirl squads and lala's can we at least move away from the aetheryte a bit?

Look, if the people using third party programs bothers you, just report and move on. You don't need to make a thread about people breaking the ToS.

i dont care if people want to use bots to play the same system of a down song 1000s of times, but i will agree not to do it right on the crystal, no one likes being told the crystal is to congested for you to port in to a city...

Thread TLDR:
Whilst there I'd a mute slider/macro able/command available.

there is some benefit if they move directly off the Aetheryte.

As many who have need of world visit can get blocked cause if it.
Including ul'dah.

<I feel this small instance would probably be solved if you can port from any main city/Hub from any expac.
We can't merely look at the face value and judge.>

am i misunderstanding this, or do people actually think being near the aetheryte is whats causing the queues or "congestion" ? because... that's not how it works...

i love how 90% of the replies miss the entire point of this thread.

FYI the login queues are fake

IIRC, it has something to do with anti-DDOS or something like that. It's definitely true, though, that if you're seeing queues under 50, the server isn't actually "full"; it's just a login mechanism they have in place.

i mean, would be nice if they had a designated area to goto but as they aren't. meh you further ahead to login in another city. also a queue...we get queues even here on aether. so its nothing new to have one.

There are literally several places you could play, starting with an theater right in Gridania lol
-I mean sure its filled with the easter event atm but still... Or the playground next to the GC, the waterfall....

No I think people get it. Its just that this is yet another complaint thread over something very trivial.
