Sincere Recommendation: Accept you will not be able to play, walk away for a while

[Hite]

Huge fan of the game, was able to get in every early in the AM but logged out cause I had to work, seriously annoyed Consider the boundary conditions of the login problem:

1. More product has been sold than can be delivered.
2. Infrastructure improvements to help deliver the oversold product is not possible due to supply chain issues.
3. Competition to log in will only increase immediately after early access.
4. To avoid queues, players will not log out. Auto logout is easily bypassed by staying in dialogue with an NPC, auto running into a wall (not tested), macro keys, etc.

The situation will not improve anytime soon. By no means am I supporting that this is an acceptable or excusable situation. I am making an appeal to fellow fans who are getting frustrated by waiting and waiting to get in. Don't do it, your time is too valuable.

Selling a product and then effectively saying, "by the way there will be issues with providing what we sold you but hey we warned you" is a morally bankrupt way to conduct business. Clearly, commercial interests and bottom line sales were prioritized. Apologies are a cheap way to make money, they don't cost anything.

If you are frustrated, walk away, there is no solution. Don't waste your valuable free time and energy friends. Come back and enjoy the game another day ... week?

(Oh shoot I'm queue number 690?! LOL!!!)

Running into a wall does not work either. People are still using third party tools to prevent auto log out now though. It's disgusting.

But I have no issues logging on and playing on my server.

Only takes me a couple minutes to get in.

Took me 2.5 hours to log into Zal earlier. So no OUR server is not always that great.

Stop trolling. Everyone here knows that you log in at 6am and stay online till bed time.

That was very well said.

The big issue is going to be raiding, with the premium this game places on getting there right from the start ...

So pretty much endgame participation will be a lottery then, luck of getting enough good queues or having a WFH job so you can just semi-idle all day or you'll be too far behind to be considered by the time you do limp into endgame? That's what it's starting to look like to me at least.

And now that I actually have Tuesdays off, I might've been in a decent position to give Savage another whirl

Really? Not with my job. Not with many people who WFH, I'm actually..working . Full time.. The only benefit, which is RNG is the possibility to be able to queue, and WFH isn't even required to do that either.
