Look at the state of the forums.

I love how all these new people who have come into FFXIV wanting to play it, IMMEDIATELY dump on a company they really don't even know. All I see is a bunch of Karens getting pissy because oh, hey, a queue time. I get it. EU servers should have been upgraded. I feel for EU. But the way you guys are screaming "Waaah, I want a refund and compensation." This is why companies don't give a crap anymore.

This is completely asinine. Has anyone even stopped to consider how the company feels? trying to deliver a fantastic game/product to all these ungrateful children screaming and crying. I get it, WoW died. Sorry, no one foresaw that coming, especially so soon before the Endwalker drop.

You all need to grow up, and realize crap happens. And maybe try to I don't be considerate. But that's asking too much for all the influx of new people coming in. Already guard up, ready to strike with "lawsuits" and ready to bite anyone's head off just for defending a game and a company, people like me and idk 4M other players that have been playing consistently for years since 2013, hell even 2011 when 1.0 dropped.

You guys had your time on WoW, I even played with friends here and there. But trashing another game, making it look like utter garbage just to make a point of you guys wanting a fight for no reason. The customer isn't always right, I learned that working as a chef for years, and even retail.

And to be honest, you guys are even lucky you got compensation at all. Other game companies wouldn't have done that.

So here is the thing. Many of us not only bought one license but three. I bought two, a PS5 and PC license. There is a potential for Apple as well. I have been in four queues after being dumped from the system and then get an error for 2002 then being started over at over 4,000. I don't mind the queue but I expect to eventually get in to the game. I paid money which means I bought an expected service. This is early access not even the release date and I cannot even log in? The traffic that is clearly visible to Square Enix, you know like licenses sold is expected simply due to those who paid. Free to play does not even have access to Endwalker so what is the issue? If you are okay with paying for a game that you cannot play that is on you. I have a life plus have a snipet of time to game...meaning I expect to get access at least once per day. Is that to much to ask?
