Don't Fall For It

You sound like those Q conspiracy theorist, TC.

You cannot accept truth so you make stuff up until it fits the false narrative you want to be true.

3 months is a very short time even in normal times. Buying servers is not like going to the store and buying a computer.

Heck my new build PC took 4 months and it was coming direct from Hitachi, 3 months late and that was because of waiting for the GFX card to be delivered, which was of course, waiting for semi conductors to arrive at AMD

And that was for a single unit, not a server farm.

Here is the thing: Japan and European servers have little queue times and can log in quick. Not all theirs are in use. What's to say they can't take a couple and borrow them until things die down a bit?

Plus: Shadowbringers on a pretty shitty computer was nowhere near this bad.

Part of this is wrong I have a friend that is playing on NA now cause peek times Zodark has a 9k Q

I'm not being magnanomus. SQ-E does this every time there is a new launch. I pay to play this game and expect to be able to play. If I can't play , especially due to negligence on the part of SQ-E (They've known for years the need for greater server capacity during launch) I deserve a refund of my subscription until I can play. FFxiv is a great game but I believe in service being the most important thing to a costumer. FFxiv is not the only MMO in townand unless SQ-E starts to respect it's Paying costumers I will spend my money elsewhere.

Pointing out the Automotive Chip 'crisis' is flawed. Reason for that is that the automotive industry has to lie down in the bed they made themselves when, early 2020, they pulled the rug out under the semiconductor companies, cancelling their orders (which were always only in a 'just in time' with on site buffers just for a few days at best, no actual storage). When the demand for their cars suddenly spiked earlier than anticipated, they had no real stockpiles of chips, and instead of 'Oh, we are on again, pls send 15 containers of chips a week!' like the automotive companies expected, the semiconductor companies had moved on, and the automotives have to wait in line now.

On top of that, it isn't just the modern high integrated stuff in tiny structures, like the 22nm and lower, for cpus and the likes, but we also have a bottleneck in 'dumb' components, like resistors, voltage regulators, capacitors......and a very in demand component is, worldwide, mostly made by Texas Instruments, in the US - plain old 'analog' components.

You Do know they have known since SHb they need to fix there login servers.. I*mean if you have to shut down your new server travel due to congestion and have massive Q's way back then..That should of been priotry 1 way before corna chip shortage or wow refuges
