It's not an issue with making it to 0 in the queue. People are getting the lobby error at all sorts numbers in queue, from 1 to 1200 and higher. It doesn't matter where you are in queue when the error hits, you're sent to the back of the line regardless.

And it's not a time-out thing. Myself, and several others, have pointed out that we're babysitting the queue. The afk logout is 30 minutes. I'm not spending 30 minutes between checking and clicking in the FFXIV window. It's on my main monitor and I'm typing this on my second monitor as I babysit the broken queue system.

I did, however, spend the past 20 minutes getting error 2002 without even being able to get into the queue at all. And when I finally get back into the queue? Almost 2500. This is after numerous error 2002 and 4004 ranging from 8 players in queue to 2000 in queue.

It's already been pointed out that this is not true.
