Dont need SE apologists either. Its their problem to fix and we as paying customers have a right to be upset and angry at the total lack of response, customer feedback, and simple foresight that would have prevented this. Say all you want but this is solely SE's fault and no amount of "But Im in the business its not their fault this stuff is haaaard!" will change that.
While I don't condone the lack of communication, the amount of people that think SE is sitting back with their thumbs up their asses rather than actively working on the problem is astounding. This is the game launch, they aren't going to suddenly stop caring about their product that they are trying to sell.
Early Access was a bonus for pre-ordering the game. It's like any other pre-order bonus in any other game. Some are physical in nature (e.g., you get a bookmarker, a pin, a plushie, etc.), while most are digital in nature.
In this case, this is a DLC for pre-ordering. This isn't WoW, where there were beta testing available for players to stress test the servers before launch. And since you don't seem to understand how MMO works, this isn't a brand new game. This is just merely an expansion, and as such, SE should've seen this coming from a mile away. If you want to know about their track record, in the past week alone, their reputation has tanked due to major problems with a mobile game (some of you may have heard) called SINoALICE (シノアリスー), which is directed by Yoko Taro (Nier:Automata), and they've probably had a total of maybe 30 hours of uptime over a whole week period in which the servers were crashing, congested and eventually taken down in at least 5 emergency maintenance.
Whoever is in charge of server operations and their network at Squeenix should be fired.

This shows how disgusting it was to make msq, I had to leave the game after expending 3 hours trying to enter in it. You get what you paid for, I guess. Everytime a friend of mine ask how the game is doing, I send this picture.
Lol im not the one sitting here whining about not accessing content. This literally happens to every MMORPG paid and F2P. To sit there and judge the rest of the game based on being locked out due to congestion is asinine in and of itself. You have the right to complain just as i have the right to call you a entitled brat.
I mean problems happens. But what is frustrating is that they are giving us the: wait and try again later treatment when there is obviously not enough instance servers for a normal flow of people to go through the main story quest. They aren't saying that they ll fix it and they are leaving it as is.
