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.

I've been playing Square's games on and off since the original Final Fantasy came out for the NES, I've played literally every FF out there, Vagrant Story, all of Kingdom Hearts, crap, I even played that god awful FF7 spinoff game... Dirge of Cerberus, do i get the right to complain now?

I mean, I haven't complained a single time about the current connectivity woes, but you can't tell PAYING customers to shut it when the product they are paying for is not being delivered, plain and simple. You try doing that in real life and see how that works out for you. If there's nothing your company can do to alleviate an issue, the best they can do is to take the criticism and compensate for as much as they can while the issue is resolved.

They are not complaining about the game being garbage, they are complaining about not being to access the game.

If the complaints aggravate you so much, don't read them.
