To the people who are logged in overnight

[Taggerung5]

simply put, I totally agree with the second post in this thread from Lexxuk. He hit the nail on the head.
There's no fucking way I'm logging out if I can help it. Hells no.
Spending 6 hours a day just to log in is not my idea of having fun.
I got in, I'm staying in.
I was logged in from friday 2pm til about 2hrs ago when I got 90k'd, and can't get back on. I'm glad I didn't log out during that whole time or I'd have not gotten anything done. And when I get back on, you can be sure as hell I'm staying logged in until they turn off servers for maint. on wednesday.

Issue = Server-side
Solution = Blame the players

This is what I get for being nice and logging out. I cannot log in for 6hrs now and that not counting the 10 mins beak in between every 30 mins of log in attempts. If I ever log back in I am never logging out. As of now I have a higher a chance of winning the state lottery then logging in.
My enjoyment > your enjoyment.

If you were a responsible and mature adult, you'd log off.

You logging off makes you "responsible"? Lol! Sure.

The amount of narcissism that I have seen in this thread is appalling.

I understand, these login issues stem from SE and their miscalculation of the amount of people wanting to play their game. As others have stated, this is unacceptable for paying customers. Thankfully, SE will be fixing these issues soon.

However, this does not excuse the behavior of players going AFK 24/7 in order to preserve their spot on their respective server. The attempts to justify this behavior that I have seen thus far have essentially boiled down to, "screw you guys, I wanna play when I wanna play." While I understand the frustration of not being able to play sometimes, choosing this course of action is only making things worse. It's simple - by going AFK for an extended period of time, you are taking a server spot away from someone who would actually be actively playing. No matter which way you slice it, staying logged when you are not playing is basic selfishness, plain and simple.

Honestly, I don't mind people who afk to stay online. I understand it. BUT, can I ask those who do AFK, please do it in an area that is NOT highly populated. The amount of lag near certain areas is insane. Thank you!

You people are aware that there are like 20 000 per server, and it only lets 5000 in at a time, right? Because it assumes there is a rotation of players online.

Staying AFK pretty much means you prevent 3 other people from playing, and changing a server supporting 20 000 to a server supporting 5000.

The servers could be fixed tonight, and we wouldn't know because the AFKers would cause issues tomorrow when the amount of log in and off are not what SquareEnix expected.

And you are all quite naive if you think they will up the count to 10 000 on the servers just to accommodate AFK play.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time finding a ???? to give.
