Made the mistake of logging out today

No I'm pretty sure the reason people can't play is the drastically low server capacity and laughably unprepared data center since Squenix got caught with their pants down.

Its all SE's fault, they could easily implement an AFK kick so servers are not filled with AFKers

Personally I don't think it would make as big a difference as people say it would. It would help, but not enough to really fix the issue. The problem is that Squenix simply didn't prepare for the amount of users that they should have anticipated, since they've had the preorder numbers for months. Infrastructure takes time to set up, and it sucks that they're going to have to work around the clock to get the game functioning properly, but the harsh reality is that the people in charge of their network infrastructure really blew it.

Yeah I agree with you, but a quick solution while they fix it would be the AFK kick. That way they can still work on their issues and people would be able to login a bit more often.
