For People who took a day off just for early access

If you took the day off to play a videogame...you need to check your priorities tbh....

Excuse you, I am a grown ass adult and made arrangements with my supervisor to be able to work my full 40 hours, not use PTO, and be able to have both this friday AND monday off. You know why? Because I damn well wanted to, and had the resources to do it. Notice I am also not throwing an absolute fit about things, because I was able to spend some of this invaluable time off with my new puppy and my brother. People who are working have every right to days off for whatever reason they'd like, and that includes video games.

It's something that you just never, ever do. If you've played any MMO in the past, at this point it would just seem like you're complaining for the sake of complaining.

Early Access periods always unexpectedly become stress-tests for established and popular MMOs - especially ones as heavily marketed as this expansion. World of Warcraft suffers from the same problems for each expansion and content patch.

I only had to take off today because I legitimately was sick. My boss isn't counting it against me because I'm in training right now to get promoted into a new position. FFXIV was the only entertainment I had. I have been able to play, but I only got up to Best Served with Cold Steel and was never able to enter it.

I'm not complaining. I wasn't expecting to be held hostage by the server, but I chalked it up to an issue with the expansion being in early access. So I started leveling Red Mage, and have been enjoying it.

I dunno. You're the fool on the internet trying to make people feel bad for investing time in things they enjoy. Where does that put your priorities?
