At this point if we are being real about it; It's not a good look but the price to buy the server hardware to satisfy a fraction of the player base for a month until the new wears off the Xpac may not be worth the money to them. They know most people will keep their subs, whine for a while then relax when it blows over. This is how the corporate world operates. You have to stop pretending that FFXIV is an outlier and is immune to business decisions based on the bottom line. Square Enix is just as much of a corporate monster as any of them. They had to know this was coming and made the decision to not blow the money to solve it. At least they aren't raping women though. We are just going to have to wait this one out. I'm sure they will get new servers eventually. *shrug*

I feel sorry for the producers of the game, because they probably know exactly why the problem wasn't solved and are probably depressed about it.
