First and foremost, they will never shut down the servers randomly. When they did this in Stormblood, they always announced precisely when so players who were progressing the story wouldn't suddenly be kicked while in a cut scene.

With that said, what incentive do people who are trapped in queue have to care? I've been tracking log in times which I may post about in a spread thread. Suffice it to say, if you're only able to log in during peak hours due to work, you're not getting in. At a 4,000 queue, it'll take approximately two hours of frequent monitoring to jump back in after you inevitably lobby error. And you will lobby error. Several times, in fact. So these players can use work arounds until they shut down the servers to at least do something.

Call it selfish all you fancy, but it's equally selfish to expect players to essentially give up 2-4 hours of their evening or simply not play at all so you aren't inconvenienced by a temporary shut down.
