Enough is enough

Because a lot of people took Paid-Timeoff only for it to be a waste honestly. Everyone has a right to be angry when they're sitting in queues for hours trying to play.

Ah man this is hilarious. Imagine already knowing ahead of time that it's going to be a mess and still complain and act surprised/mad when the hour arrives. I took paid-time off too. In the mornings there was barely any long wait at all, maybe 15-30mins. In the late afternoon is when it picks up.

So common sense. Well, I tell you something about common sense. We subscribed to a service where we pay money for. SE is not able at this point in time to provide that service for me (and others) to an extent that I am comfortable with. When I come home at 7 pm I stare at a queue of around 8k players waiting, even if I do not get disconnected I face around 4 hours plus to wait. By that time i have to go sleep because my night ends at 5:30 am.

So common sense for me is, if SE is not able to provide a service worth the money, they don´t get any money from me unless they are. I do not care 1 cent why they are not able to. I am aware of the semiconductor shortage, I work in IT for over 25 years as a system engineer. Where I work we suffer from that too, but you know what, our customers don´t freaking care too, they care about us providing the service they paid for. That´s how business works, it does not work with excuses.

Honestly what is that with gamers excusing every- and anything so easily, you are customers and you and your money is more worth than Square Enix is providing at the moment.

My subscription ends by the end of december, if this shit show is going on by then, i won´t resubscribe. That´s my common sense.

You'd think you would understand quite well then, how difficult it is to procure servers and how unreasonable it is when someone is asking you to do something that is impossible. SE has made statements quite a few times now detailing their continued efforts to procure servers, but being unable to do so thanks to global situation created by COVID. Yet everyone wants to continuously yell at them for not being able to make servers pop out of thin air or not predicting a tripling of population that no one could have predicted. There is no effort to understand SE's efforts on this, just a focus on the self and an anger over not having the launch be buttery smooth when no popular MMO launch ever is.

Moreover, they will be conducting maintenance to remedy the other errors associated with their login queue. I'm not sure what people think stamping their feet in a tantrum is going to accomplish when SE is already fully aware of the issue and devoting their resources to resolving it. What do you want from them? To wave a magic wand and make servers appear?

Maybe they should borrow some blades from Blizzard, I hear they have a lot of spare ones lol.

An expansion they hyped up, promised, took money for. Then didn't supply knowing full well there would be thousands of players who couldn't play the thing. That is definitely something to get angry at a corporation for.

They should have been more upfront about the fact that thousands of players wouldn't be able to play a game they paid for, from day one, for an inaccurate amount of time. At least offer up a refund process. It's unreasonable to expect people to wait for a service that might get better if we pray to Jesus hard enough.

Me : Its 8:50pm : Gonna check the queue for laughs : 8640 people
Me : Ah, F it, gonna hit the sack and sleep.
Me : Wakes up
Me : Its 4:00am : Gonna check the queue for laughs : 1
Me : AAAALLRIGHT THEN

Been playing like this in the mornings and just going to sleep more early. Rather wake up 2 hours earlier, Make me coffee, log-in in under 2 mins and play before leaving for work. Its quite better than being tired from work and sitting in a 4 hour queue so I can play 1 hour before going to bed.

Shoot that's what I did this morning too. Went to sleep early, woke up at 2 and got 3 hours of gaming in before going to work.

They told people beforehand. They've actually been talking about the congestion since July when the influx of players from that other game flooded in.

They literally said this was gong to happen before the expansion. They've offered up free game time. Stop being mad because you ignored the warnings.

This is the way.

They gave no indication it would be *this* bad. They lied to get more expansion sales, you can't see that?
