They win. I'll pay the "you were an idiot for transferring to Dynamis" tax so I can stop feeling like a second-class citizen in the game I pay $15 a month for. I encourage others to do the same if you have the means and don't have anything tying you down to your data center, because at this point, I don't really see them doing anything about this unless the situation in other data centers gets so bad that it's impossible for even a company this dense to ignore.
This is exactly how I feel. It's so frustrating. It's been nearly half a year and the game is nearly back to end of Endwalker numbers but anyone not on Aether has to jump through incredibly tedious hoops since even with the restrictions, people aren't PFing on their home DCs. I'd rather deal with the 5000 people queues for the first 2 weeks of launch instead of just not being able to play the game for half a year because all I do is raid in PF. I'm literally at home and awake for 3 hours a day, having to deal with this is seriously killing any desire to play the game at all.
