Your time based sub is $15 for 30 days, 50 cents every 24 hours, 2 cents every hour, less than 1 cent for the 2-3 minutes of queue. You're complaining that the game is wasting you less than one cent.

I think you're missing the point.

I think you're missing the point.

Nah, they didn't miss the point, they blew a hole straight through it. Their reply was quite appropriate when presented with a "point" as... well... pointless, as yours is.

It's like a one to five minute wait. It's perfectly reasonable given the reality of the situation with the game, the servers, and the number of players they have. It doesn't matter that it's a sub game. "A two minute wait is unacceptable!" is an asinine thing to say.

Not everyone has hours of time. If someone works, as most people do - and gets 1 or 2 hours a day to reasonably play, that 5 minutes adds up. The point is that it's my time.

You telling me SE can't increase the servers at all to accommodate the player base that is giving them money?

"It's just a 5 minute wait" sounds like people got use to having to deal with that kind of crap, and have just come to accept it as the norm. It's not the norm.

It doesn't matter whether SE can increase server capacity to address this specific problem. The issue is that they shouldn't spend the time or money needed to increase or upgrade server capacity solely to address 10-minute or less wait times to log in that only occur when crowded worlds are extra crowded during the first month or two of an expansion. Because it's a non-issue.

Are there other issues with their servers that could use a look-at? Sure. But this? Nah.

This has been going on for longer then ShB release.

It's one of my many concerns with the practices of SE. I love the game, but damn.

Its only an issue for a couple weeks every 2 years. Its not worth it financially to do so. You don't see governments making roads wider for rush hour do you? Happens twice a day yet commutes can be as long as 2 hours in some places, when it would only take 20 mins without traffic.

You picked a bad example, TBH. Street near my old house was having properties bought, and taken down because of traffic (for a road expansion).

As I have said though, this hasn't been just a couple weeks. This has been a couple months now.
I had fun telling people that no, they couldn't play with me because every world was congested.

SE isn't exactly small. If they are in fact getting more subs, FFXIV is becoming more popular, & having more people then ever flock to it - maybe they should actually do something about the servers with the growing population. I wouldn't accept a game with a 5 minute loading screen. I won't accept a game with a line that makes me wait my turn to get on the rollercoaster either.
