Insane Queue's for Sortie

[zataz]

Except they really don't, because they're complaining about long waits for content, insane amounts of bots, etc.. Problems explicitly caused by overcrowding.

That's not something you say when you like the way things are. If people move, there will be more people wherever they go. No one likes waiting hours for sortie, no one likes not being able to find an ML grinding camp, no one likes a million RMT bots. They *sign up* to asura because either they know someone there or becuase Reddit recommended they go there, and no other reason. Asurans created the problems they're having by piling on that server. The game was not designed for the player load Asura has. Even at FFXI's peak, no server had as many players as Asura has now.

Ultimately, you have no right to complain about the problems Asura has if you "like it that way." These are problems that purely exist because of the overpopulation. Meanwhile, on other servers, we get punished with the loss of features that worked just fine just because Asura can't handle it. And you all want special fixes that only your server needs that will affect everyone.

It is not a healthy situation, period. Balanced. Populations. Serve. Everyone. Better.

You know I'll say it. I don't care for asura. too many bots (pink bird camp) after this coming week I'll be going back to ragnarok while I have a few friends. I do worry about finding a decent ls. Also I find it hard to find a good quality ls... (ones that don't poke at me over my afterglowed ochain ) I'm tired of the lower end player base that is asura. While my xp isn't everyone's I do feel people are over looked by most cause of rampant rmt issues. Why level with me when I can work sleep and get NY masterlevels.

I do worry about finding a decent ls.

I was fairly inactive for quite some time until a few months ago, only logging in a few times in a month. When I appearsed after a few weeks of inactivity, someone recognized me from days of yore, invited me to an LS and it was basically full and they do pretty much all the popular content regularly. the community is tighter on other servers and when a new chellenger appears, you can almost expect that the big groups on the server will find you without you even trying. Even then, most make use of the concierge and it's easy to get started.

But I should not have to deal with bots.

There is absolutely no way to remove bots entirely outside of removing the demand for their services. It's a never ending game of whack a mole and that's with a game's team doing everything it can. You can limit the impact, but you can't eliminate it entirely.

FFXI is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Player Game (MMORPG), it's meant to be played with many people at once in a large thriving world, not someone player by themselves with five imaginary friends. That multiplayer aspect is why everyone moves to Asura, there are actually people there to meet, play the game and make friends with. Unfortunately SE's crappy event system and slow content release schedule results in everyone having to do the same content at the same time. Asura only gets really busy at a specific time of day, right after 6PM PST when we have all four NA time zones playing at the same time.

What does that have to do with anything?

Enjoy your Queueing Simulator while the rest of us are actually playing the game.

Never an issue, as I already said. Last night did two back to back sortie runs, first had a line of 1, the second had a line of 2.

Again the congestion issues on Asura are only really between 6 and 9PM PST, or 9PM and midnight EST. Basically anytime folks in both major population zones are playing at once. 7PM EST is smooth sailing for us.

Understood. Edited.

Asura only gets really busy at a specific time of day,

If you can get a good experience, but only if you log on at weird hours, that's really just another sign that the server is overcrowded.

I repeat, if you have to play outside of typical playing hours to be able to do stuff, that just means it really is overcrowded.

If you were on another server, you wouldn't have to change your schedule (or be the lucky one who has that as a normal schedule) to be able to do the current content.
