It's apparent SE doesn't care that non-JP servers are encountering 2002 issues

[HyperSMB]

"The queue system is badly programmed, full of bugs, and doesn't live up to modern standards, making the login experience frustrating and unfair"

"BUT SEMICONDUCTOR SHORTAGE!!!!!!111!!!!!!1111!"

Makes perfect sense.

I FULLY agree with you. People using chip shortage to excuse 2002 or the plethora of other issues is kind of clowning at this point.

That doesn't really change that the quick fix to the queue system being crap would be to throw more hardware at it.
Sure, you could fix the fundamental issues with it, and if they haven't done that before the next expansion launch I think that's certainly a valid complaint, but thinking they will just redo it overnight is unrealistic.

People arnt using the chip shortage for the 2002 LOL they are using the chip shortage as to why there is not more servers coming online to migrate the populations.

The Devs said there two reasons for the 2002 is when the login server hits 17k or something like players in que it will cause new logins to 2002 error right away and while waiting in line there some type of brief data interruption to the log in server which means can be on the player side IE their provider or the connection. So that means can be somewhere down the line how you are being routed there could been a brief interruption and caused you to be booted

The issue is they should have allowed players that got booted have their place saved in line if they logged in with in a certain time frame.

FWIW, they actually do, but you need to make it back in within a fairly short time-frame.

I am lucky enough to work from home right now; I miss having the lab at work and all, but at the moment it's convenient because I can start my login on my gaming machine around the time I finish up lunch, and finally make it online a little after I finish up work 4-ish hours later. But I have to keep half an eye on the screen, and if I get 2002'd I need to log back in fast. As long as I'm quick, I retain my spot in the queue.

If I've stepped away from the keys and get 2002'd during that time, though, by the time I come back that spot has freed up and I have to start over again.

What's more frustrating is that the 2002 error exits the client entirely and forces you to go back in through the launcher again, which means fishing out your two-factor, etc. I can see technical reasons why they might do this, but I still hate it whenever it happens to me. :P
