Can we stop the free login weekends?

I know quite a few people who rave about WTFast and say it reduces their lag boatloads, but I've never had enough lag to make me consider using it myself.

To be honest, WTFast isn't that great. I have a paid premium subscription, and I'll probably be cancelling. When I'm logged on using WTFast I get a lot more disconnects (90000 and 9002) than when I'm not using it.

I wish they would have free login weekends more often, I made over 1000 soldiery tomes within a couple of hours just by spamming HM primals like Levi and Ramuh due to those new player bonuses.

Hmm, almost like having more active players in-game was.... a good thing? But I guess more players being able to enjoy the game is of no concern to OP and their pre-made Coil-farming static. Sorry SE, you'll have to stop the free weekend promotions of your product, OP doesn't like it.

OP

you don't understand why the latency occurs at all, do you?

Hint: Its not the ffxiv servers being overloaded: its intermediary route congestion.

SE please schedule a free login day whenever op does coil, thanks

I second this suggestion, it's a good one

Which would also be exacerbated by a free login weekend. >_>

No, and yes.

Not an issue with squares servers, so everyone who doesn't have to traverse bad/congested links has no problem.

That said . . . the game uses very little server=client communication, and the congestion issues are caused more by an increase in heavy bandwidth users.
