Spending most of the time in log-in queues.

^ this.

it's beyond unacceptable, meanwhile people are allowed to stay logged in despite having been afk for god knows how long simply by being in dialogue with NPC, open vendor shop window or by crafting (quite possibly more options to stay logged in.) fix your server capacities, idc about the ifs and hows, that's what YOU get paid for. Blizzard was able to increase their server capacities quite significantly when it was a major issue. If they can then so can you, work on it, I don't want to sit in 6-hour queues because 5k other players are sitting in queue tomorrow when its official release, it's unacceptable coming home from work or school or whatever else the good people are doing with their time. And if the ARR potato servers are at its maximum capacity or whatever it may be then you need to look at getting better servers since the current ones are no longer capable of running at optimal capacity for your growing game and its expanding playerbase.

2nd point I'd like to make is when you DC or log out quickly (to fix the no sound problem for instance ... still looking for a solution to that are we, SE?) you get to keep your spot on the server so you don't have to sit in a 2-3hour long queue and can quickly log in. Being at the mercy of these wonky servers to not get a DC is ... not optimial.

This happens to me a lot, and I need to wait like 5 minutes until that stupid message disappears and I can log in again, but 5 minutes is better than the multiple 3 hour queues I'm having now.

Wont happen. Game even tell you to wait before relogging for you to logout with error 3102 (If im correct).

I agree to AFK people, they are a plague. Many sit ingame 24/7 for example dancing in a city holding a spot for someone who actually would like to play. There should be 20-30 minute limit for being AFK. After that you get kicked. That would drastically let out pressure over servers even after Stromblood release. To connection, as far as Im aware SE still uses p2p as connection option which many ISP will cap the speed and or connection quality meaning packages of data going missing between you and server.
Lastly for SE to think about is to make instances where player does alone with NPCs to be hosted on players console/PC. Once the instance is finished, executables send packages to server that quest or instance is completed and game puts you back online. Thats another release of resources for instances where you do with other players. I dont know how console would handle it, but on PC this should be possible.
