Look at the state of the forums.

Adults can handle disappointment.

Toddlers throw tantrums.

I mean one post isn't really a tantrum

Yes, they had YEARS to predict a pandemic, cryptocurrency miners buying up all the hardware and a recently huge influx of players from another MMO. Judging from you dismissal of covid, though, facts probably don't mean much to you in the first place.

This argument is always garbage. Because this doesn't take into account the zero upgrade that should have been planned precovid. Now would 1 or 2 worlds in EU and NA make a big difference, not at all. The point is SE planned either zero growth for the game or was comfortable counting their money till servers started to melt and playing experience suffered. Which is it? You guys crying about other factors seem to ignore ones staring you in the face. And only a moron would have thought OCE was going to make any difference for EU. In fact it is more likely to benefit the region least in need JPN.

I believe people would be far less outraged if they weren't also paying a monthly subscription fee for a product some of them cannot even access during their free time. The anger doesn't come from being able to use the product itself, everyone knows they'll get to soon. The anger comes from being charged money for said unusable service.

I am starting to think the people amazon is sure to be firing from their team Square Enix picked up and put in charge....

Badly handled game is just BAD. The phrase "inept devs" comes to mind.

Meh, the forum has ALWAYS been a collective of the vocal minority. Since 1.0.

Don't assume the state of the forum reflects the state of the game. OR the collective voice of the playerbase.

Hum. It is getting less and less people defending Square on this. Because, simply said: if a casual gamer with a traditional working life simply is locked out of the game he is paying for, there is nothing anyone can say to make this "ok". It just is not. And it isn't just a few days during early access (and even there, you payed for being able to access the game pretty much unconditional - playing the queue-game never was part of the offer!), we are actually on day 10. When will it get better? No one knows. Only one thing is rather sure: There won't be a real short term solution. And here I repeat: it is as bad as it can get. The worst, a nightmare, call it whatever you want. Utter failure.

On the other hand, I do know that it won't benefit anyone if people are angry here. But since they have every right to be angry, let them be. Generally, you reap what you sow. But weather can be bad. However, no matter the responsibilities, if the outcome is not what you wished for, it still is the outcome you get.

I have no angle to play at this, on one end. Critique is perfectly healthy but due to the reputation and irrational attachment, some people take offense and drive all critique into their realm of bickering and name calling

On the other, it’s a temporary issue and sick of hearing 100 threads on it. Yes it’s annoying and yes it’s a hindrance and yes a company of their girth could’ve done more but stick to one or two threads not drown the forums of this. More so since this won’t age well in a month or two when ques are back to normal and you can go back to afking in Limsa

All these new players "raging" because this is happening. It's amusing, this litterally happens every xpac.
