Why would you defend a multi billion corporation like SQENIX, who has a long and colored history of fucking their customers? See; Dragon Quest definitive edition
When the answer to the problem is 'buy more servers' (and yes, even for your 2002 disconnects, that's the solution), and there's no servers to buy, and they've done tweaks to the server load to do the best they can, yeah, you're going to defend that, because, I know this might be hard for you to understand, but sometimes *this shit is outside their hands.*

Had they stopped selling preorders for Endwalker you'd be even more pissed. You wouldn't have understood. You'd still be subbed, and you'd go 'Why am I paying money to this game when I can't even play the expansion, I'm still playing either way so that doesn't change the server situation." So that's not exactly an option now is it?

If instead they'd delayed the game until servers were upgraded, great, now Endwalker goes from a two week delay to an indefinate delay lasting months, or possibly even a year. This is also not a feasible solution.

You're frustrated. We get that. Everyone is frustrated with the queues.

But some of us have the wisdom to look at the broader situation and see that the entire world is fucked with this problem, and that it's outside of the power of multi-million dollar companies to just snap their fingers and fix.

The problem is that we, as humans, didn't buy stuff with chips outside those two manufacturers, and let the other manufacturers go out of business. We handed two companies a world-wide monopoly on the supply of microchips.

SE didn't do that. They don't manufacture equipment.
