Don't expect the maintenance tomorrow to magically resolve everything

Because that 1 person sitting in the Queue might be actually trying to PLAY the game, rather than the guy sitting AFK in the town for 40+ HOURS, doing nothing but spamming for his RMT, korean/china, gold-farming, account stealing, Website. While taking up a spot in the server population limit that could have been filled by... oh i dont know... and actual player?

if theyre spamming that means they are not afk. they will not get kicked.





Seriously stop bashing AFKERS they are just protecting their slot to make sure they can play the game they paid for. As for those who cannot, it is actually a good idea to try logging in at off peak hours then go afk as well.



The afkers money is just as green as yours. They are also paying to play the game and just taking measures to mget their money's worth. Before they afk im pretty sure they fought the error 1017 as well. They defeated it and gets the right to stay in game as long as they want

current AFKers are simply saving their slot because of developer problem. survival of the fittest. get in play and stay. let the devs sort it out.
its not their problem we cant log in.

and autoboot on idle wont work because then people will just autorun into walls in the main cities. sitting AFK is less server strain that autorunning into walls AFK.

I typed up a logical proof and everything disproving Slater's "greed begets greed" cliche', because honestly it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read in my entire life, but the forums won't let me post over 1,000 characters. Oh well.

A movie theater room has a limited number of available seat. When you want to see a movie you pay for it, you have your place for the time you are actually using it. It the room is full, what do you do? Do you complain that last time you payed so there should be a space for you anytime? Do you stay seated in the room 'till a next movie you wanna see is displayed?
I mean the fact you pay doesn't mean you get to do what you want. If they decide to reduce the load on the server through automatic kick out then unnecessarily used space will be released for players who need it at the time. Same as your seat in the theater. You rent a space on the server through you monthly fee, it doesn't mean you can just stay logged in even knowing people wait for an empty space.

My question is, they already knew they had problems during the open beta, why wasn't anything done about it back then? there is no excuse with the open beta and early access periods as to why they are still having such server issues now a week after release. This stuff should have been fixed either at release or a few days after tops, especally when even in open beta they knew about the problems.

For the servers, I think they are keeping them low because most generic mmorpgs like ff14 over half the population usually quits after the included month for various reasons, So why waste funds on server hardware when they will just need to fuse servers and the hardware will end up unused, servers are not cheap especally for a game like this.

The problem with that is that it makes it a self fulfilling prophecy, if they don't implement enough extra hardware so that those of us who want to play but cannot log in (thank you afk'ers) get a chance to play and get hooked then at the end of the included month there is no way I'm going to give them any money and I'll go do something else. To be honest if after this weeks maintenance period I still can't log in a play then I'm giving up anyway, I have better things to do with my time than wait 2 hours to get a spot that I can only use for an hour before some kind of server error kicks me out anyway.
