Aether's locked again, so gone are the days you could just swap over whenever and join ultimates or savage prog for fun. Why is it even locked? It wasn't locked in Endwalker, and that expansion was waaay more popular than this one. It felt like there were way more people playing in 6.4-5 than now, so what's the deal?
SQE should either
1. Make a cross-world PF (pipedream atm). I don't care if it logs me out once full party is formed and transfers me to a specific party finder server, I just want to be able to do other things while waiting instead of "service not available on this world."
2. Kick everyone who isn't from Aether out of the server once they've been logged out for 1hr. Right now, the only way you're raiding is if you're on Aether, so everyone logs in at early morning hours and basically lives there. This way you have spill over on Primal, like how it worked during M1-4S; you could actually fill parties and there were hundreds of them. Not guaranteed to work though, 'cause game ded lmayo.
3. Remove Aether lock, just like in Endwalker. I assume they have a reason why they don't. Maybe downgraded their servers due to costs? Maybe they can't protect against DDoS and this alleviates the problem? I swear to god if it's because they can't stand a regular Aether person seeing a "100 in queue" instead of "25th in queue" then I am going to lose it.
