Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Zojha]

I'm curious what the impacts could be to Eternal Bonding Ceremonies, though. Doesn't affect me personally, but hopefully they've considered it?

Seems pretty simple to me: Don't do them until the measures are over, just to be safe.

I don't think they went out of their way to accommodate those when they haven't bothered fixing the AFK exploit in, like, what... 3 years now? Nah, I think people will just have to deal.

Will we at least get to know when this daily logout occurs? So we can plan for it. If this is gonna cut into our raid time I'm gonna be pissed.

[Crysten]

yes, let's blame the players because there are too many of them and they can't be provided with better servers.

Selective reading is awesome!

No they aren't. This entire issue never occurs if SE wasn't greedy and happily collected $20 with every transfer to servers they supposedly closed. Most people aren't going to even know about server populations beyond "Balmung has a large roleplay community." You don't blame the playerbase for preferring larger servers when they could still transfer onto them, albeit for a price.

You sure? Because if they did what you mention the cries and complaints will reach epics proportions. Aion tried this to keep factions and server balanced by preventing the creation of any new character and boy the drama at release. The only solution here is acting like a "Tyrant", you create the char a SE pick the server for example, and that's bad for business.

Sure SE is not helping but the main cause of all these problems are the players.

This has to be a joke..... Really SE?

[Paladinleeds]

I have a better solution. Buy better servers!

I don't think the game has been coded to make use of increased server capacity. Like I said in my previous post, I have reason to believe that the code base is garbage and that it hasn't been made sacalable. And given FFXIV's clear "spaghetti code" (as we jokingly refer to horrible code), it wouldn't be so easy.

About time this did something like this, and you people that upset you can thank all the people on the high population servers that abused the workaround to avoid the afk kick timer. But oh no lets not get mad at the a##holes clogging up the bigger servers this blame it all on SE right? Call me white knight or w/e but it not always SE's fault and the playerbase (you know what talking about) fault sometimes.

It will be announced in game an hour before the kick from what the article says.

It is gonna cut into just about everyone's time. with the warning, the delay and the simultaneous attempts to get back in.

Ok, why they have launched their longest Welcome Back campaign (1 free month) on Stormblood launch day? Surely it doesnt help with congestion.
