I got no idea why people would abuse the mechanic, but they do it anyways.That's a lot to assume. Personally, I see no one doing it here, and will make a less wide assumption that it's the same across my datacenter. When you don't have to worry about a long wait to login in the first place, why abuse the mechanic?
And even if it were about resources (Which honestly I DID suspect, but I didn't want to go there, it can and will get ugly,) SE saves a few dollars a day by booting/inconveniencing (With no reasonable need,) thousands of paying subscribers on my datacenter.
I think it's a great idea. It's only ten minutes. Do your queues immediately right after or log on earlier. DPS? Of course you're gonna have to wait, you know this. If you want to get your dailies done ASAP, there's always the healer/tank option.
Okay i'll bite. It feels like this:
Waiter: This is your table, sir
Me: Thank you. Here is a tip for you.
Meantime on the next table
Guy: No, I don't want to leave!! I still have some weeds!
Manager: I'm sorry sir but I have to call police.
Guy pushes waiter to my table, wrecks everything and leaves.
Me: Wow.. what a rude guy. I like the food but not with him around.
Manager: Unfortunately his gang come around this time. Can you try 1hour later?
Me: .. mkay..
The Next Day, 1 hour later
Me: Hi, is my table ready?
Manager: I'm sorry sir, give us 10 mins to pretend we're closing and clean everything.
Me: ...
Not only the 1h delay. not 10 minutes -today-, it's 10 minutes for rest of your FF14 life.
I'm all for kicking the culprit server out but if it was a real food, I lost my appetite before sitting in.
Well it's not for the rest of our FF14 life because they're only doing this temporarily.Okay i'll bite. It feels like this:

It just feels like SE is always damned if they do and damned if they don't. Someone is always upset.
