Look at it this way putting the artificial cap on "SOME" player get to play on a smooth non laggy server and enjoy the product. Do not put the cap on and servers constantly crashing then "NO ONE" gets to play.

Ya, they really need anti-afk systems. And you can deal with the running into a wall issue. Hell, even WoW has.

Yep. And at least in FFXI the population never seemed to be as big a trouble to cause issues.

Yes you could but most people won't. You know why? Cause they won't have to wait 16 hours for a spot to open up...

this is a sorely needed option

Yes make it even more obvious to dodge the system that gets implemented. Brilliant idea. That doesn't always work anyway.

A bit off topic the other thing they need to address is the gil/gold spammers getting into the game. I've been hearing about this going on.

Ya, I'm saying they should fix it. Get it to work. And not have such a low queue cap apparently. Creating a log in queue shouldn't take nearly as much server resources as the game world itself and should be managed on a separate server box.
