It's a large part of *why* there's travel restrictions in place right now, because Square-Enix got tired of waiting for the playerbase to disperse on their own and stop making a super data center, so they took matters into their own hands short of removing DC travel completely.

It's especially rough for Dynamis because we already got locked down once to little benefit (where we couldn't leave *at all* for about 3 weeks) and now we're under a "soft" lock down where we still can't travel easily to get stuff done during some hours of the day. I had to wait until after 10PM tonight to slip into Faerie for my roulettes because everyone was apparently already long gone on Maduin where I was looking at a 15+ minute wait just for 4-man content, whereas I was getting "less than 5 minutes" on everything I wanted to do (on DPS no less).

Their current plan isn't likely to force people to transfer to Dynamis though, and while it may have stemmed the amount of people that hop to Aether, it's just made Primal & Crystal into the go-to places for a lot of folks (I myself often hit up Behemoth for example). Their plan is indeed making people unhappy for different reasons now, but lifting the travel restrictions would just bring back the previous problems of Aether bursting at the seams while Dynamis twists in the wind. There just isn't a good solution no matter what.
I get what you mean, and it really is rough for Dynamis players. I do think a mega data center is the way to go to make everyone happy, but will they really spend the money and resources on it? It's why I made this post, to try and add to the yelling for action to be taken.
