To the people who are logged in overnight

That's how you are acting towards the afkers - spiteful, envious and bitter. There is nothing redeeming in yelling at them for doing what they do, there is no great moral goodness on your side, you are just picking on people who are suffering as much as you but are trying to alleviate the pain of the terrible launch in a way that allows them to enjoy the game on their time, with their terms.

TL;DR: I need to go look and see if I can get past the grayed out start menu again, stop tearing down afkers because you're envious of them for playing the game when they want >.>

PS: To hell with you, 1000 character limit!

Why the fuck are you talking to yourself? Condense this into one post if you want credibility. Most of it doesn't need to be said. Just leave the important bits.

I sent an email and i agree wholeheartedly. theres no excuse. they had the figures and a general idea and easily should have had a good idea of how many people wanted to play then double that server wise, or at least add a few extra just in case...

The issue's with not being able to log in is easily going to kill this game if it continues much longer and i really liked it but i cant even play it.

Give it a few weeks. once the free trial periods are over, many,many people will not be continuing to play...server levels will drop to SE's projected levels, and the paying players will have np's logging in. I'm expecting atleast a 50% drop in the playerbase once people have to actually start paying. I'll be staying, this is my new crack. So, we just have to deal with overloaded servers until that happens and SE implements their fixes..supposedly by early next week for the fixes.

ya but the problem for most of us is that we cant even play during our trial period, as a legacy from v1 i only get till the 9th of September, 16th if we get those extra 7 days. I hated v1 so so so much it was terrible, and i've got the whole lot of 5 hours of play time here and the majority of that was during beta phase 4. i have to work and sleep i cant be getting up at 3 am just to log in and be a jag off. Frankly if you have that kind of time your probably not a responsible adult at all.

not pointing the finger at you just saying in general. Imo if i cant try the game I'm certainly not going to pay for it. V1 kinda went the same route though too.. needless to say sure you will be able to log in "maybe" in a month when people return there copy's to walmart, even though they got them else were... (walmart takes anything back) but ff14 will flop all over again... and something that should have been eating our time and raking in money for SE wont.

I'm fairly certain there not going to trudge it along all over again, you'll probably get a 30 day notice that the servers are going to just be shut down.

I just got in after trying all day if you cant get in you should try now

Asking people to logout and run the risk of spending hours to get back in IS SELFISH, even after they implement auto-afk kicks I know myself and many others will be doing what I can to stay in until they fix their issues.

Both are selfish in their own right. So you aren't right in either stance.

Snip.

Normally, I would agree with you. Just a few points that are off to me. You're not "playing" the game if you are leaving the game on and not so much as even hearing/looking at it. That's like saying I can eat however I want in my mother-in-laws house, by not eating at all. So it's invalid. I agree that it is SE's fault that this happened, and they are facing the repercussions. It simply boils down to a socially moral choice, log out and have other people view you as a better person, or stay in and be considered selfish, etc. It's all about perspective. I don't agree in saying "YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT STAY LOGGED IN WHEN YOU ARE NOT PLAYING" but I also don't agree with "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK I'M STAYING ON ANYWAYS." Either side is selfish. Pick your poison, pretty much.

And not targeted to you in particular, but to everyone in general. Whats with the insults? They aren't necessary. Lets have a civilized discussion.

Uh its not selfish to tell someone who is AFK to log off when they are done....Do all you AFK defenders even know what that means??? To put it into a sentence...The person that is AFK is NOT PLAYING THE GAME!!! So your whole rant about how your playing the game to your own way is such bull and a way to make yourself look innocent. Your not playing the game to the fullest cause guess what? YOUR NOT EVEN PLAYING WHILE YOUR AFK!!! Your contributing to the problem that SE is having... Why don't you people get that?? Your just making this thing drag out even longer!! I think the people that can't get in have every right to ask you "afkers" to log off and give other people a chance.. Some people just purchased the game and haven't even been able to make a character because the dam servers are filled with afkers.

These entire posts are ridiculous, noone is acting self righteous. it is just having common courtesy "i wont be using this slot for over an hour, so i shall let it go to someone who can since there is limited seating available" we all paid the same amount to access this game and it is just childish to try to monopolize slots we are supposed to share even when they wont be using them due to their own selfishness. There is nothing self righteous about common courtesy, but then again we live in the age where you can insult and berate someone else non stop but the second they hit you for your actions they would be the bad guy. so what do we expect out of society these days? In the end baby gets what baby wants and everyone puts themselves first like a bunch of spoiled brats :-/ Even if they wont be using it they will make sure no'one else will out of spite.


EDIT: also im sure some of the ones bitching about the ones AFK would do the same thing given the chance, that still does not make it right, and that goes both ways. I am also sure most of the ones in favor would be some of the first bitching had they not planted their flags.

If you think about this way... If everyone just did what a normal gamer does in which they log off after gameplay. There would be a lot less longer wait and easier to get in even if there was a queue. But if everyone just stays in then it pretty much causes mahem and angry rants. I am one of those people that log off after gameplay... Its completely rude to take away other gamers right to play the game they purchased the same as you. You may not be doing anything by the book wrong, but your just being a selfish ass. Then you will turn into one of these ranters when you eventually get kicked and can't get back in. Think about it 10 min queue or 2 hour.....or all day queue..
