EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't blame players for this once-per-day logout nonsense. I do blame players for Balmung's queues, though. They are 100% at fault. Square Enix bears some responsibility for letting it happen as long as it did, but the fault clearly lies with the players.
Prior to the launch of Stormblood queues were not a problem on Balmung. While there were sometimes a login queue it was never longer than a couple of minutes.
I.e. it was not at all obvious that things would get this bad.
