SE dropped the ball

*Quote deleted*

I've played 15+ LAUNCH day MMOs, and in every single one of them, my main story quest wasn't hindered, and I was certainly able to run instances. Stop being ignorant and realize the problems STILL at hand. Even after an emergency maintenance they persist.

You're not getting the point.

My point isn't that you don't have a legitimate complaint. My point is that, no matter how well planned a launch is, there are going to be hiccups that happen. There are going to be problems. It's going to happen. And yes, if not this issue, it would be something else people are complaining about.

I didn't post what I posted because "I didn't want to hear it" (although, to be honest, it is getting somewhat monotonous :P). No, I posted what I posted to tell everyone to chill out. Problems happening like this, whether they've been around for a few days or a few weeks, doesn't necessarily mean SE is not trying to resolve the problem, or haven't been trying before now. It just means the problem's not resolved yet. And no amount of "SE SUX!11!! Dey didnt maek purfekt lawnch!!11" Will help matters much. Just be patient. I'm sure they're working on it.

First time at an mmo EA/Launch?

This.

No large MMO in history has had a clean launch. There have been a couple with relatively clean launches, but all of them weren't popular.

I don't think you're getting the point. Your opinions are fine and dandy but you have no authority whatsoever. If you don't like it, don't read it but don't come into a thread where someone is indeed having a legitimate problem, like say being completely unable to progress in any quests, and start telling people what they are and aren't allowed to post about.

lol Calm down, will you? Your rage is practically emanating through my computer screen.

Once again, you miss my point. Like I said, I posted what i posted to try and tell everyone to calm down, that things like this always happen at MMO launches, and we'll all pull through this. Nowhere in any of my posts did I claim to "have authority". A chill pill. Pop one.

Again, you miss the point (also your opinion on my emotional state is noted, erroneous, but noted). People don't really have to listen to anything you say and have every right to complain whether you like it or not. You may be willing to accept these issues because it's launch, other people might not. Other people might even get upset and decide to post about it and believe it or not, telling someone who's upset to calm down and stop complaining does absolutely nothing whatsoever to help (with either their frustration or their actual issue). So, again, if you don't like it, don't read it.

And once again, you miss the point by a mile. (not surprising, in your peculiarly enraged state, lol) It's not about "accepting these issues" as much as it is about "expecting these issues". Yes, the issues are a drag, but issues are bound to happen in a newly released MMO. My point was that we should all calm down, report them to SE, and wait for them to be resolved. Posting in an enraged state is not going to help anything, and will likely result in flame wars and some people given an involuntary "vacation" from the forums. I never said stop complaining, I merely said to calm down. (Your putting words in my mouth is yet more proof that you are seriously enraged about this, lol) And no, you don't have to listen to what I say. No one has to listen to anything said on these forums. But my post isn't to hinder or chastise, it's actually to try to help angry people like yourself deal with the situation better.

Seriously,

They really did have a LONG time to do an open server test to find out this was going to happen, and I'm really infuriated. I will not subscribe to this and I've told gamestop to switch my money to Killzone Merc on vita.

SE is not getting another dime from me until this is resolved, and if not by monday they'll never get another dime from me.

Let us all hold hands and cry into the forums repeatedly until the issues are fixed.
It is super effective.

It is effective, people google FFXIV and find the truth and do not buy the game, or resubscribe if they are returning players. This is actually the best way to deal with these jokers these days, keep backhanding them every time they make a poor game with a poor release and soon enough investors will not allow them to make these choices.

Money talks. Consumers spend it.
