    Seriously, this is why server caps should be a thing.

    If they're full, get more servers or rent out some server space until you can get them.

    Primal's Instance Servers just took a sh!t because everyone is trying to do Golden Saucer Gates that are instanced (Leap of faith) for make it rain along with other instances.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    The login queue is kind of a quasi-cap. As there are always people logging into the game, they are also always logging out of the game. So the queue is kind of a way space out people getting into the server. So it doesn't get trampled at the stroke of 7pm kind of thing. Obviously the better decision long-term is just to increase capacity of how many can fit into the login queue at-once.

    Lastly, YoshiP is well-aware, hence the multi-million dollar server investment he mentioned two weeks ago.
