There are many things that make this really annoying. 1) It kicks you out of the program completely if it doesn't connect. 2) When you do connect you may end up in a queue that never goes down even though under normal circumstances it should. 3) People have found ways to get around the auto log off thus keeping their character on for as long as they want. 4) For someone like myself who pays for only one character and that character is on Aether there is nothing else you can do except keep trying to get in.

Come on Square. We pay for these accounts. We get that we can't always get on to play, it is in the agreement after all, but when the issue is your server (log in server) that can't handle the load or people or that you allowed to many characters to be created on a given server more than there should be then the issue isn't us players. We don't run or do the tech support on the servers. That is your job as part of this arrangement. The short and sweet of it is you make the game and you set the rules Square. If you allow loop holes to said rules I don't see where it is the players at fault.
