[2021] Why can't we wait for league start on the beach like we do for races?

I can only see how this would make load worse.

Now instead of having people slowly filling in game servers and generating instances on different times, with people in different areas you have everyone with a copy of the beach running at the same time and it'll be thousands of people all trying to create instances in very similar times.

Queue is there for a reason. Races are events so less people play and the load in general is lower, it's also crucial for races where in league start what we had (not this league) was fair enough already.

Not sure why you were downvoted. Everyone arriving in town at the same time is the main issue with these sorts of starts. Having said that, this is something we are discussing to see how it could potentially work for the future. Secondarily, there’s an issue where if we did that we would have to figure out what to do with people basically logging into Standard an hour early.
