Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Serret]

This is becoming insulting quite frankly.

Videogame or not, this is an online service and people are paying a subscription along with all the extras from the cash shop.
Some scheduled vacations for the launch of Stormblood only to be greeted by a mess and endless queues.
Then a majority of players who gets home from work and can only play during prime time are also greeted with queues, laggy housing districts, malfunctioning dungeon finders along other issues.

And now to further add to it, SE wants to punish paying subscribers further by implementing FORCED boot out of the game for all players(ironically now that queues are slowly stabilizing...).
I am expecting the log in servers to be flooded after the 10 minute sit out and a new queue problem making the experience for everyone considerably worse. I really hope that I am wrong about this though.

In any other online service subscribers would have been COMPENSATED by now.

Nonsense. Have you played other popular online only games during expansion launches, during launches in general? Where issues can last for months and its a normal thing? Nobody is going to get "compensated" for a thing they personally could have avoided. They warned people about this a million times. Especially people on balmung that there WILL be "extreme login issues" among some other issues.
This is why they gave people a chance to change servers to something smaller and even went out of their way to reward players who did so.
So you are saying that people should be "compensated" for their own inaction and their own stupidity? Puuuhleeease.

Nonsense. (...).

In fact, other SQUARE ENIX online services have compensated their users for even 1 hour longer than predicted maintenances ^^
But puuuhleeease, let's settle for less and accept a bad service as being the new "normal" :3

Indeed, as much as I am one to think we don't deserve compensation, it's a cultural thing that if things don't go as expected, and it negatively affects the customer, the Japanese go out of their way to try and put things right. Their culture and way of doing things is frankly fascinating. They are very much honour bound. Kugane for example seems to reflect this well.
