Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

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

But didn't you know? Apparently every single one is on Balmung! /sarcasm

No, they're not. SE is the problem here. We have them to thank for these problems because of their lack of foresight that their game might be popular enough with players that their artificial restrictions become a hinderance.

It's SE's fault people abuse the system? How interesting.

SE is the one who put these restrictions into place. SE is the one with such bad servers that the restrictions are needed in the first place. SE is the one who advertised the heck out of this game and was seemingly caught completely unprepared for how many people wanted to play it.

So yes, SE is at fault for players not wanting to stand outside in the rain because they only built the room big enough to hold 300 people. Their solution to that is to kick everybody out for 10 minutes, then let random people back in. Do you have it in you to forsee the possibility that there will most likely be people not able to log in to play the game, even after this ingenious idea?

This is not a guarantee that people can play. It's a bandaid on a leg that needs amputating because it's long-since turned gangrenous.

lol you do know before people abused the afk the queues were still a joke. The queue is what caused people to abuse the system

This isn't the first time people abused crafting and the like to go around the queue. It's worst than last time, I'll admit, but not the first.

You don't have to 'abuse crafting' to avoid being logged out. It's anything that prevents your character from moving: Crafting, talking to a quest npc, interacting with an aetheryte/aethernet crystal, retainer bell, aesthetician, etc... there are countless ways of doing it.

Anyways hopefully after a couple days people stop AFKing and it will no longer be necessary the queue on Balmung was basically the same as 3.0 but 4x longer and getting worse everyday today was the breaking point I am guessing as on Balmung this afternoon the queue was at like 400 and still took hours to get in due to so many AFKers

This very FORUM has made posts asking Square-Enix to do EXACTLY THIS.... And now everyone seems upset that they actually listened.

What a time to be alive.

Unless you can look into the post history of the grand majority of posters, including myself, this is flat out not true.
