Look, I have some amount of sympathy for those who booked vacation days because they're so excited for Endwalker and want to be able to dive in right away. I probably would be annoyed too if I were in your shoes. But I can't help but think that this is perhaps the most "First World Problems" thing to be upset about I've ever heard.

To be fair, most of us have to work at least 8 hours a day, with probably another around 1-1.5h being devoted to getting ready and commuting, and another 8 being dedicated solely to sleeping. Add in things like chores and cooking and you basically end up with little free time relative to the hours you have to work/sleep on any given weekday

It would be nice to be able to sit down and enjoy your hobby uninterrupted for a few days between having to slave your life away

People who live with their mommy and daddy don't understand working 8+ hours a day plus 2+ hours of commuting time, plus all the other chores one must do when you're an adult and own a home.

Yes now imagine that but five times worse and this is your job.
You see how it becomes a little silly to be THAT upset about it in your situation?

Being disappointed is fine but cmon.

In my case its been 10 hours minimum per day working + having to do some of it at home as well since this pandemic started. It's resulted in a very noticeable increase in my income but also a sharp increase in my fatigue and stress levels.

I work full time and am back in school full time, and have to rent out of someone elses house because I can't afford one where I currently live. Still have to do chores, cook, etc. I'm disappointed but I'm not out here saying this is the last straw, game is dying, etc, like it feels like people do on here anytime anything slightly negative happens.

It is enlightening reading through this thread with people who are calling people, who are disappointed in having their time off being out of shift with EWs release, entitled and "having first world problems". A lot of people, like myself, can only devote a handful of hours to this game a week with how much we work. For a lot of us, this wasn't PTO but time earned from overtime (that I'm probably not getting back-pay for, but that's a personal fight).

Being understanding about the scheduling push-back and being upset that you won't get those hours back are feelings that can and should coexist.

Tbf I think the biggest issue is the fact that the delay happened at a point where we were close enough to the release to believe that there wouldn't be one

I don't blame the devs for having to push back the expansion considering all the craziness in 2020, but man does it suck being told of the delay so close to the original release date

I'm kind of glad the general consensus isn't just anger and that the people who are genuinely angry are in the minority (Not that I blame them for being angry anyways)

True. Reason why I cut off my sleep time to 4-5 hours. It makes me moody but at least I have more time to breathe
