I hate when my husband is right.

What exactly do you propose they do to fix this?

Other games remember where you are. It is same problem when you dc in an instance and it puts you back into a world que. Other games are like "hey he isn't here anymore let us wait and see if he comes back." Early MMO's used to have this problem and fixed it. Was nothing like being on teamspek/ventrillo on raid night someone dcing and that was end of raid because they had 45 min que to just get back in.

Here's the thing... every MMO, every XPAC we have seen this. SE even announced there would be long queues and errors. They admit they wish they could have upgraded servers prior and had every intention to do so but the "thing" and chip shortage... eh...

The chip shortage card gets played a lot. You know they never say when they ordered or if they were willing to pay the price. Server hardware is out there for purchase. For all we know SE was offered new hardware at the new 2021 prices and laughed it off. Or they didn't decide to order any till July or even later. You don't get a pass when you don't share all the info.
