Shame on you Square

[Lily_Skye]

My list of frustrations go on and on. This early access and launch has been a nightmare for me. I take my kids to school in the morning and work. By the time I get home it's a 5k queue. The issue doesn't stop here. If I walk away for ANYTHING I need to do for my kids I'm booted from the queue and not able to re-enter due to errors. I lose my spot in queue EVERY TIME. This has been the template of my frustration since the release of EW. I'm fed up. And shame on you Square.

MMOs and kids don't mix well. Frankly children need more attention and availability than most parents realize, and MMOs tend to consume one's free time that would be better spent not neglecting their children. I'm not saying OP or anyone else necessarily is "neglecting their children", but there aren't many things more addictive and antisocial than an MMO that can compete with one's personal relationships. The threat exists and takes a lot of mindfulness to balance against.

I think it's great OP has kids. But he should find entertainment that better gels with his lifestyle. Maybe part of that is not being so invested in XIV and approaching it a bit more casually than needing to complete the MSQ on early access or whatever his deal is. I know when my life has gotten busy with other priorities, I managed to make time to enjoy games I didn't have time for by watching lets plays in piecemeal, something which I would have absolutely done for FFXIV if it had interested me at the time.
