So, having spent a lot of the day earlier contributing to the Restoration, I nipped off for dinner during the two hour window before the Concerted Effort was to begin. I returned about twenty minutes early to get myself loaded in and settled and meet this:
The zone remained congested until 10 seconds after it ended.
Disappointing, obviously, but the worst part is that a large portion of those who actually did get in were from other servers, who had come to our world to take advantage of the massive rewards for these events having already done their own, and admitted that afterwards they are nipping off to other servers to hoard theirs, too. If it was just that the volume of people who contributed to the main run was too much for the system allocation for the instanced zone, that would be annoying, because that should obviously have been anticipated. But with the current system, people who contribute to the hand ins are being denied the right to participate in the concerted efforts because of world-hoppers running "FATE train" style taking up all the allocated space.
The zones should be locked to home world only to give residents the best chance at actually getting the benefit of their contibutions, as currently the only ways of seeing this are to hog a spot in the zone and just perma-afk there to be sure you're in, or join those others and steal it from other servers. At least for the first week or so until the zergers get bored.
