Your welcome come join our misery

Why is SE punishing the people that actually play the game and not going against those who use the Auto Logout loopholes?

Or we could all just chill out and wait to see what happens before you all scream doom and gloom?
I would only wish they did it to either just Aether or the two servers but it is what it is. I'm just tired of working all day, come home and greeted to 4 hour waits and by the time I'm in, I may as well go to bed. I can barely enjoy my time on because I'm tired.

people acting upset over a 10 min wait and all but a lot of us wait hours. so I do hope there are no huge repercussions on this but on the other side, THANK YOU JESUS.

You realize that this 'measure against simultaneous logout' is not actually a fix for allowing players to get in, right? If it's the middle of prime time and your server doesn't have any afk players, there's no guarantee you'll be able to get online after the 10 minute timeout period. This just forces people to log out. It is not a guarantee of anything. There's a very good chance that you could still be stuck waiting hours to log in to your server.

Its even more bad.

People that were in the queue get in and people that played right before will take their place in the queue instead.

Wooooow. What a solution.

By the way, is the revenue of FF14 actually flowing into Final Fail 15? Or is that just a meme at this point.

Just been something I keep hearing and at this point it makes sense :U

People react as if the forced logout will happen during peak hours, which would cause long queues as everybody tries to log on again afterwards.
That seems unlikely to happen.
The forced logout will most likely happen during early morning or some other time when few people play. Then people will log on as they normally do in the evening spreading out the logins.

I.e. most players will likely not even notice this happening except for login queues being slightly shorter.

Perhaps it won't affect this, but for us DPS mains that already sit in hour-long queues each day (and not even in peak hours) having to basically not queue for anything when the announcement dings, wait 10 minutes after we're forcefully kicked to get back in (quite possibly still dealing with a player queue), and then queuing up for our hour-long queues, it's going to be an extreme annoyance.

I have plenty to do while I wait in a queue (I get my gathering down while queuing), but not everyone gathers in this game, and not everyone has hours upon hours to play. We don't know when the forced log out will be, and it very well may end up during a period of time that screws with some players because it's the only time they can play. It's unfair for SE to punish all the other servers just because they decided 2 weeks prior to SB launch (rather than sooner) to try and get Balmung's population under control.

Everyone who complains about this. Go and thank the people who sit afk while crafting or interacting with an npc to avoid being logged out. Those people are the problems
