    I'm tired of typing so I'll just quote some people that said it nicely.

    We had this issue in Beta ARR. Yoshi said he would no longer allow the team to create content like this for expansions in the future because he understood the servers couldn't handle it. Thus why HW had much less of these at the start.
    They know what they presale. They know what how hard they advertise. They know how much money they're spending on Twitch streamers to advertise the game. They know how many subscriptions they have. They know what their servers can handle and how much.
    By placing TWO bottlenecks extremely early in the MSQ?
    By having both RDM/SAM, the brand new classes, use the same resources as the MSQ bottleneck?
    Yeah, this couldn't have possibly been predicted /s
    Here's the thing that people forget when I see posts like this. This is an exact repeat of ARR launch and on top of that they knew how many sales they had and pre order codes entered. They had all the data they needed but made a conscience decision to not adjust and "keep trying." There really is no excuse trying to justify this.

    Again,

    Yes, everyone knows it's an issue. Yes the devs messed up. Yes it has happened before.
    Beating your chest and slamming your keyboard in rage over the situation from this point forward does not fix the problem.
    All people are doing by going on about it is polluting the air with negativity.

    All I am saying is Get the hell over it and move on. Repeatedly bashing other community members over this isn't doing anything.

    If it's really working you up, then log out and come back when it's no longer a problem. The game isn't going anywhere.

    I am just tired of people trying to ruin mine and other's experience of the expansion. I have had a blast so far.

    Been trying.

    And to the rest of your post: No.

    Square enix is a business. They are not your friends. They are not my friends. I paid square enix for a service, I expect that service to be rendered. If there's an issue, I expect better communication than "lol try again later, sorry it's not working even at off peak times like 3am."

    That defeats the entire purpose of customer feedback. Yes, some of it is completely overblown, but people absolutely have a right to be upset. We were advertised Early Access and it's looking more like we're beta testing their new servers. It's inexcusable to have a potential bottleneck so close into the MSQ and downright embarrassing we've now found out Sasano can perma-lock you from the game. For anyone unfortunate enough not to know beforehand, they now get no access period. I might be a little less miffed if their response was free game time or something for essentially forcing people to wait hours doing nothing or going back to old stuff, but they won't. I do not fault Yoshida for the most part. Square Enix dictates the budget and what's allotted. So I will certainly call BS on what is an awful look for the new expansion.
