Playtime compensation for unplayability of FFXIV due to travel restrictions.

I actually travelled to primal in the afternoon today, around 2:30 est. I was amazed to have a normal travel time to get there, all servers were open. I was actually excited, looking forward to having normal queue times and probably faster runs on average too. Boy, was I wrong. The queues for every roulette on primal were 2-3x longer than queues on Dynamis. This tells me that the most likely reason is that everybody has been sneaking over to Aether in the wee hours of the night, and parking their character there indefinitely as they circumvent the idle kicker with their 3rd party software. My alts on Aether were able to get into every roulette in less than 5 minutes each as a solo dps.

I don't think that many people are sneaking in, the game doesn't even let people onto my server when we have a 10 person queue haha (the person in my static from Primal tried) I think Aether just naturally has a bajillion players on it already. We were *the* place everyone came to during Shadowbringers/Endwalker. Also 2:30 est on a weekday tends to be a slower time for most servers. I'm on Aether and my dps queues for stuff like leveling, main scenario, and high level dungeon tend to be 10-20 minutes during prime time. I think alliance raids/normal raids/expert are the only ones I can get through quickly.

if it is a problem then go for some flexibility you yourself and others to fill in the empty gaps.

It is not SE's responsibility to make the queues and PF's go but most of all the players.

I tried it yesterday and went to dynamis and then back to aether and it was very short load time. I think most of the restrictions they had on data center travel are gone.

While I haven't tried with aether, I've been able to get into my destinations on Primal and Crystal (except Balmung) with no issues. They're there, I think, just the initial rush appears to be gone.

Also, fix the setup for Dynamis at least if you aren't gonna lift them completely yet. Don't knock the 7 classified new worlds because we have one congested.

They aren't knocked.
