The problem is the fact that 80% of all servers are selfish AFK rejects - though they are smart - because capacity is 5k per server and that number is absolutely primitive and laughable.

Except not, 5k concurrent users is more than any single NA World of Warcraft server gets at peak hours. In fact, the *average* NA World of Warcraft server has just about 1100 concurrent users at peak hours (http://www.warcraftrealms.com/activity.php). The biggest, Stormrage, has an estimated 4300. (These figures aren't perfect, since they rely on the use of a datamining mod for WoW, though.)
After the tremendous loss suffered by SQ-E on FFxiv 1.0 I can understand the reluctance to anticipate the volumn of players early on. Though certainly they should have had some idea of how well it was selling. That being said, and in realizing just how awesome this game is, I suggest we let SQ-E get it fixed but also that subs not be started until they do. That just seems fair.
Having given Sq-E a piece of my mind after Endwalker launch I also wish to commend SQ-E for their wilingness to step up and support their product. No launch is perfect and I concider SQ-E to be somewhat negligent in not being prepared, again , for server capacity issues at launch. But I also realize that everything is not under the control of SQ-e. Still , they stepped up and took responsibility for a less than perfect launch and listened to the concerns of their subscribers. For that they deserve credit and for the fact they have created the best mmo on the market today so that , in spite of all these issues , My subscription is solid and I will continue to play FFxiv now and on into future expansions.
The big issue is not being able to idly wait and keep watch on the screen for login without getting disconnected. If they can fix that portion of the queue, this wouldn't be so bad. But to wait 3-4k people in line, get down to 1, get disconnected from the login queue and then not immediately get back in line at 1 is just bad.
