Wireless Gamepad Doesn't Associate Twice in one Instance.

I want to add my voice to this as well.

I know the devs are very busy, and I'm thankful for all the hard work they are doing. However, this is a very serious problem with the game, rendering a large number of controllers basically unusable in FFXIV. I hope that a fix can be worked on as soon as possible to allow for wireless controllers to be picked back up by the game when they are turned on.

It isn't that they become unusable. Its just that its a major inconvenience to log all the way out, and restart the program, then log back in just to re associate your controller. When every other gamepad enabled game lets you just push the button to power it on and Bamf your online.

I guess you are right, however in practice if it goes out (as it just did a short while ago) I don't want to stop what I'm in the middle of doing to reload the entire game. And since I leave myself logged in almost all the time, when I sit down to play the last thing I want to do is go through the logout/login process. Sadly in practice it's easier to simply not use a wireless controller.
