Lobby Connection Error

you bring up some good thoughts but let me address your comment on chip shortages, and why they chose NOW to do this. 1) they have a business model they follow for all of their games and expansions for this game, 2) that model has it set a certain number of days/months between expansions and other things of import, 3) you might not realize that this launch has been delayed TWICE. and most people are only thinking of the announcement that it would be delayed about 2 weeks. well there was a further delay in 2020 for patch 5.3! that pushed 6.0 back AS well... this is almost 6 moths over due! and finally 4) if they kept delaying it the more it'd sound like they are trying to cover things up when they aren't. they even had to think about this back when 1.0 was the main issue and they where loosing people so yea they had to put this out now. the game play is stable depending on your internet conneciton to their server. I'm seeing people in there playing content so it is there.

as to me, i am hitting 5K+ queues, getting disconnected every so often. but I did not purchase end walker nor pay my 15 dollars a month expecting i can be on at any time *I* want to, that is for me extra benefit same with the early access. I'm not worried because i won't be able to play through till the end first or anything. I enjoy a much more casual play style. sure I'm frustrated but I can put understanding to what is going on. i've been playing mmo's since 2001 Everquest just before the luclin expansion. and i've seen games drop for days on end and got nothing for it other than the servers were being worked on... and that has happened through to the 2021's though they tend to fix things much faster. heck look at the microsoft and sony ddos from 2019 christmas because of the new consoles... or was that 2018? but anyways people blamed microsoft and sony even when they didn't cause it and were working hard to fix it and they did.

as to compensate people for something here? nah if it solves this evening i doubt it but maybe they will...we can only wait and see... it's possible they might make something available to everyone as a thank you for bearing with them, but posts like this doesn't indicate understanding and patience it is people DEMANDING that they fix something 10 minutes before they posted and why should that be rewarded? I hope you get in soon and get to do anything you want to! but if not please bear with them and everyone else.

Well, I can't speak for others but I am not demanding anything. I am suggesting that people file complaints with the FTC because it's effective and warranted. I am also suggesting something from SE as compensation. I think that's only fair.

As for "bearing with them", let's see what that would like the other way around. If you ever do decide to pay the subscription, or if you're paying it now, I'll make you an offer: the day before your subscription expires I want you to do a live chat with SE and tell them that you are having technical difficulties with the new credit card you just launched and that you're doing everything you can to resolve the issue and will keep them updated regularly but you may not be able to make your payment on the day your subscription expires and that you would like your renewal charge pushed out a couple of days while you resolve the issue. Make sure you thank them for their service and remind them of how valuable they are to you and that you appreciate their patience and see what they say. If you can pull that off and get your renewal date postponed by a couple of days and get that transcript in writing, I will buy you a 60 day code. No BS.
