Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

For all you people crying about DPS queues... you do know Party Finder exists right? Set one up, wait a good 5-10 minutes and it will fill up.

There was one group after the reset that was for this trial and yet they waited the same amount of time I did because they could not find healers and tanks. So no its not always that easy.

And it seems like their kick for being more than 30 minutes AFK is not working 100% fine? I was gone for a minimum of 45 minutes and I did not cheat at all, just stood there and yet I was still in the game when I came back.

508 queue took 37 minutes.

Worse than before for me since the world is full of active players after the reset.

10 minutes of life gone. Oh no what will you do?

SE needs to stop being lazy and just 90002 the AFKers. They do it to all the active players, just apply that to the AFKers and problem solved. You can't bypass that shit.

This is by far the worst idea SE has come up with. FFXI never had this problem
1. They should have restricted character creations UP TO the server Capacity.
2. Now that it is too late, they should invest in servers to support the increased populations ( not everyone is going to move servers, and we shouldn't be forced to)
3. I pay a subscription to be on the game 24/7 unless its maintenance, this move only shows they want me to pay a sub, and log in when they want me to.
4. It should NOT be considered an EXPLOIT for staying logged into the game, FOCUS should be on WHY the Servers CANNOT handle the amount of characters they allowed to be created.
5. It is no secret SE makes healthy profits and well deserved, but it is a shame they have gone this far just because of the bottom line, this does not reflect QUALITY, this is a CHEAP move, and making the players who are all paying customers take the heat.

TEN MINUTES.

Eh, its a pretty poor fix to what amounts to having a lack of server space. If servers are so congested, why only make 1 extra server? Make multiple for NA, EU, JP. Get more server space, it's obvious the game needs it. Now the people who are actually doing stuff while you force them out have to stop what they are doing, wait for the game to come back up, then wait in a que. Which is now overloaded due to everyone logging back in. I don't care if it is "only" 10 minutes, it is still a waste of time due to a poorly implemented fix for an easily solved problem (more server space).

TEN MINUTES.

I'm leveling an alt on Mateus. I just got to Brayflox. The servers go down in 30 minutes. I am a dps.

I cannot do Brayflox. I cannot continue story.

So for me, an innocent person leveling something NOT on Balmung, it's not 10 minutes.

Pretty sure these bypasses have been in since ARR launch and were used again at HW launch. I dunno why they didn't just fix the bypasses.

I remember a car manufacturer a few years back, which one escapes me, having issues with brakes. Imagine if, instead of fixing the actual issue, they just removed the brake pedal and called it a day.

Aside from this move being an illogical one, I don't know why all servers are being thrown off when it's just one or two servers causing the problem.

Balmung I understand, but Coeurl? You've got to be kidding me.
