4 k monday 850 PM ridiculous.

I love how ok everyone else seems to be with this. I just worked an 8 hour day I shouldn't have to sit through a 3 hour queue. This isn't ok, and they know it isn't and they love that all of you fanboys keep defending them instead of calling them out on this. More people need to if something is actually going to change. Don't get it twisted, this is corporate. You're defending suits who are trying to make money off you. Whatever, think about it.

Honestly how do normal 9-5 people even play the game at all? I get home and am looking at a 6k queue by the time I get in game I have to go to bed. I understand there are special circumstances but this is getting ridiculous, I am paying for a product I can't even use.

True, but they should have delayed the launch until they had the resources. At least I would be able to log in. Square/Enix dropped the ball on this.

Wow, as if no one else could possibly have done the same thing. You're so special, and so unique.

There's a difference in understanding that an unfortunate situation is happening and we have to wait for a solution because money doesn't actually solve all the problems in the world, being a "fanyboy" and whatever the heck you think it is you're doing, champ.

At this point when I see a phrase "chip shortage" I swear my left eye starts twitching and hands uncontrollably shaking. It feels like I'm stuck in this manic sadistic manifistation of madness where voices in my head keep telling me the same thing over and over again till I go completely insane. Its giving very much Fandaniel tease.

I'm right there with you it's a giant crock of bullshit. That being said we have no power in this scenario other than not resubbing. Luckily for me on Wednesday I finally have a day off in like two weeks so I can actually play for once since the expac came out. But I 100% agree that is both bullshit and all other types of shit. It's not fair it's really not, but complaining here to a company that can't do anything about the issue is just wasting time. And while we got loads of it waiting in never ending queues. I think doing something else and forgetting about FFXIV is the best thing for all of us at the moment. At least until this crap dies down.

Said it before, I'll say it again.

Situation stinks. There's nothing the playerbase can do.

Long queue times aren't going to go away. Believe the reason or not, there is nothing that can be done about that *at this moment*. 2002 errors are another issue, and something SE should be actively attempting better at.

What IS within the individual player's power, is their subscription. If you are unsatisfied, vote with your wallet, and unsub. I'm sorry if this is an action that is unsatisfactory to you, but that is the singular option that is within your power to control.

If you stay subbed, then you are stuck at the mercy of the current situation.

Also if you stay subbed you are telling the horrible situation that it is ok. Regardless of how you feel about the company involved. It's like giving a dog a treat after it pissed in the house. Now the dog thinks it's ok to do that because you rewarded him.

Meanwhile... Here I am getting off a 10h day (I work 9-11h a day, sometimes more pending how early I get called in to bring stuff or late I stay to handle closing etc) and when I get home at ~7pm PST / 10p EST I have a 4-5k queue, sit in it like everyone else for about 2h, play the game for 3-4h, get off, go to bed and sleep then repeat the next day.

Before you claim off peak server or etc. I play on Balmung, crystal DC. Have been here since it was Besaid in 1.0 and so I'm not on a low pop or off peak time and I and everyone else sit through that line and tben enjoy ourselves... It is only the "Vocal Minority" as the term goes that rage and throw temper tantrums like a kid whose parents took their favorite toy or refused to buy them something they wanted by making these threads.
