It was to be expected unfortunately. Shadowbringers brought in alot of new players and Endwalker is just the cherry on top.

Currently on my server, Spriggan, even around 9 PM you hit about 5000 players sitting in queue. All the excitement I had is gone by now. I'll still enjoy the expansion but it's a bummer indeed.

For the drones that defend this unfortunate situation, keep in mind people have families and work, they don't have the time to dedicate their daily lives to logging in before peak time. You may be aware of a wound, but the realization it will close doesn't ease the pain in the slightest.
I agree completly, when i get home (i work in a distribution depot which during christmas is a nightmare due to how busy christmas rush makes us) i have about 3 hours which i can play, i have been sitting in the queue for 40minutes and it has gone down from 5100 to 3700. That works out at the queue going down by 35 per minute at this rate it will take another 1h 45 minutes to get logged in, add onto that the 40mins i have been waiting so far that brings it up to 2 hour 25mins total to get logged in.

So that gives me about half an hour i can actually play today. Now add onto that that i am currently working until sunday, then have monday off then working again until friday. That means out of the next ten days (including today) i can only actually get any real play time one 1 of them days, the other 9 i will get half an hour, maybe an hour if i am lucky.

After a frustrating day at work getting home and waiting on a countdown is not fun at all. I understand that issues happen but all those saying well you should have expected this, or i manage to play fine, try to understand that there are two sides to every coin. If you can login outside peak times then good for you you can get on in reasonable time and just stay logged in. But not all of us can do that and have been left with a really bitter taste from the fact that we have paid for the game and paid for the sub and due to the time we are capable of logging on we can hardly play. I mean i paid for 60 days of sub time and for the next 10 days i can only really play on one of them due to them issues, that is 9 days of paid sub that i cannot play.

I'm not asking for a refund or demanding they fix this now or else. Just saying before you jump on to call people like us out consider that our situations are not the same as yours and we are in fact being serverly limited and loosing out on what we have paid for due to circumstances beyond out control, and as such we are annoyed or disapointed or angry, you cannot blame us for that, if you were in my situation and only had 3 hours to play after work and had to spend 2.5 hours waiting you'd be speaking like we are instead of calling us out for complaining, you may say you wouldn't be but uyou would, it's human nature to speak out in this kinda situation
