Community creates a problem then demands SE fixes it. (Talking about Balmung)

Yeah, because Balmung is the only server with long-ass login queues.
EDIT: Also, the community didn't create the problem, SE did by allowing players to continue creating characters on overpopulated worlds. The recent "lockout" and free transfers were implemented way, way too late.

Can we stop white-knighting and suggesting server transfer as a solution and start admitting that SE has shitty servers? How is it even remotely ok having to sit through a 600ish queue at 11 PM workdays on a server with mostly german players? Even taking into account that SB has just launched, this is unacceptable - not everyone has the means to sit in queue for hours and still have some time left to actually play the game.

Well for Balmung the server been locked for long time unless you camped the server and was on at like 4am in the morning to try to get a spot, and yes the community did create the problem. If someone gives you a gun and you commit a crime with it does that make it the person fault that gave you the gun fault? No they might have allowed you to do it by giving you the gun but you or who ever was given the gun decided to act upon it and commit said crime. So lets not go dumping all the blame on SE.

No one created characters on Balmung, they paid to transfer characters in from other servers, because they lacked self control, pragmatism, had emotional reasons, etc. They knew they were moving onto an overpopulated and crummy server that will always suffer massive queues just to get into the game, let alone anything else. Why is it SE's fault that people need to have their hands held?

Sure, pick up on the most inconsequential part of my post, completely ignoring that Balmung is far from the only world with severe problems right now. Continue white-knighting then, you're the customers SE wants.

Is it white-knighting to say "Deal with the consequences of your choices"? Because I chose a server knowing full well what the ramifications of high and low population are.

I sympathize with everyone who has shitty queue's. I do. But I also realize that it's a function of picking a high pop server, a decision that you have to opt into.

It's like back in my WoW days: people would complain about getting ganked on a PvP server. No amount of pointing out that fact would get people to admit that maybe they were a little bit at fault.
