This is by far the worst idea SE has come up with. FFXI never had this problem
1. They should have restricted character creations UP TO the server Capacity.

True, but that did not happen. So now people in High Pops have to deal with it or tranfer with a free transfer

2. Now that it is too late, they should invest in servers to support the increased populations ( not everyone is going to move servers, and we shouldn't be forced to)

No, they offer the free transfers as a solution if the PLAYER so desires it. If you don't wan't to move, you must accept the consequences.

3. I pay a subscription to be on the game 24/7 unless its maintenance, this move only shows they want me to pay a sub, and log in when they want me to.

I pay the sub too, but have no such thoughts. It is their game. And there is no reason to be on 24/7. None. Again, everyone else gets to suffer due to the actions of a few.

4. It should NOT be considered an EXPLOIT for staying logged into the game, FOCUS should be on WHY the Servers CANNOT handle the amount of characters they allowed to be created.

But it IS an exploit if you do anything that dodges a consequence. They do this with each expansion with the 30 m boot kick for about a month or two. Then it goes back to normal. I think it's totally acceptable for that amount of time. Servers cannot handle the amount of people who AFK for no reason, and hinders the ones who want to play. Again the solution is either deal with it (increasing the server is a temporary fix only. It does not solve the larger issue) or move to a smaller server.

5. It is no secret SE makes healthy profits and well deserved, but it is a shame they have gone this far just because of the bottom line, this does not reflect QUALITY, this is a CHEAP move, and making the players who are all paying customers take the heat.

Since you basically admit to using an exploit to make sure you stay logged on, from someone whos on a lower pop server, thanks for being the jerk (of many) that started this all. Yes SE makes profits, but if people quit over not being able to play the game with AFKers taking up legit spots in a server......they make less....so yes, this reflects their consideration in a matter I'm sure they didn't actually want to act on. I doubt they wanted to take it this far. But the players pushed them this far. It's not a cheap move. While not a permanent fix, it helps alot of people actually play the game for at least a little while. So as I paying subscriber, I am perfectly fine with this. Just a thought, maybe, if people would stop the AFK exploits....maybe they just wouldnt have to keep doing this....brilliant I know... (sarcasm)

You know, I really did like not having to wait 3 hours to get into the server last night, since folks like you got the boot during the day.

Its almost like people trying to avoid the queue simply made it worse for everyone else and yesterday was proof that, yes, the queue was exacerbated by people bypassing the AFK system.

So... cry more, please.
