This isn't a technical support question as such, but I am currently about to enter Heavensward content, but I am stuck on the quest 'A Time to Every Purpose', having to do the 3 crystal tower raids to progress.

So far, I have spent a collective 9 hours in queue for the first raid, Labryinth of the Ancients, spending nearly 90 minutes in queue each time before giving up and logging out. I want to progress in the game but this is just ridiculous, given no parties are forming to do the raid.

Are there work arounds of any kind to fix this problem, or am I at a road block?
