Will the servers ever be able to handle loads properly?

It's pretty disheartening when you finally get rolling with hamlet after an hour of getting the party together. Got a good run going, and then have that r0 happen right as the zombie dies.

Praises be to Yoshi-P so that he may deliver us from these forsaken always congested servers.
May he save us from these clutter UI, and smite those who wish us harm with grass threads.
Blesses be to Yoshi-P, pass your judgement on version 1.xx and rapture us into your almighty kingdom of the 2.0!

All primals developed under his leadership have been given abysmal rates where one can go all day (at this point, for me its been a solid month of this), get nothing, and make no progress (they learned with Garuda, but for some reason never made the same adjustments to the tokens on Ifrit and Moogle).

A server merge that was too drastic, moving too many into one spot caused full wards, popular instances to crash, lag, and more.

He's done some good, surely, but do we really think he's going to get investments to both make content for 2.0, *and* upgrade the hardware and the protocols controlling it? With this, on top of everything else, the game can be pretty frustrating to play at times.

Short re-entry timers make bad drop rates required, or you would burn through the content in 2 days, get bored and cancel your sub just after the patch has been released because there is nothing to do, community issue, with long re-entry drop rates would have been higher.

The Wards (at least on Mysidia) were already full before the merge, anyone that was on a high population server pre-merge will have seen it, there is absolutely no differance with the wards. Instances crashing is more a general server problem, not the congestion, the servers simply cannot handle the amount of instances required which is why they are going to use new ones. And lag is not because of congestion, again its the poor quality servers which is why they are getting changed.

And yes he will get investment to make ARR content and servers/protocols because its a set in stone requirement for ARR to succeed, you HAVE to do both only do one and the game will fail, SE has the eyes of the world on them because they are doing something never been done before in making FFXIV rise from the brink of death, if they succeed with it they will get huge praise, make a lot of money and most of all earn the respect and trust of consumers and save the Final Fantasy brand.

Yoshi-P has done a lot for the game, if he has had any failings all I can think of is listening to a community who half the time don't know exactly what they want.
