...funnelling people into the DZ.

Well yeah, that's where the other players, mobs, and loot are.

I have more fun in the DZ than I do anywhere else in the game. I've found cool stuff and made friends running around, even though I spend a majority of my time there playing solo.

I don't mind it sometimes, and I've met some cool people there as well. I just don't especially enjoy what is primarily a PVE game changing to primarily a PVP(VE) game at cap. I like being able to get on and run around to achieve something in a short space of time without needing to worry about gankers all the time. The new drop changes have helped a little, but the game is basically pretty content-light, so they're relying on the DZ for players to provide their own content. No biggie. When I get bored, I'll play a different game and come back to this one later.

Damn, there's a lot of downtime, though. Server maintenance on Tuesday and Thursday?

It's usually just Tuesdays.

Today was downtime because they're patching the glitch in the "Falcon Lost" incursion where people would get outside of the map and then use weapons with high armor destruction values to shoot the APC to death. Now, it can only be damaged by the C4 packs dropped by NPCs during the waves.
