Logout Measures

[Rakiria]

Prior to the launch of Stormblood queues were not a problem on Balmung. While there were sometimes a login queue it was never longer than a couple of minutes.
I.e. it was not at all obvious that things would get this bad.

Nobody could have known after the devs told you a moth before that login queues would get horrible and already said they planned to add incentives for people to leave large servers. Nobody could have known when all players started shouting at early access: "Of course so many people would come back! You should be doing something about it!". But now they do actually try implementing a quick fix that doesn't take months to develop, nobody could have known.

Square Enix could have and absolutely should have completely locked Balmung (and other servers) well before this point. They also need to realize that one of the biggest reasons people don't want to leave is because of their -communities- of FCs, FC progress, and FC housing who already have them. None of the incentives work with actually -moving- those people.

Of course people could have "known" (or rather guessed), but that is not the same thing as it being obvious. Besides, I wasn't mainly referring to last month but to the last 1-2 years.
