Queue time is pretty much the covid toilet paper crisis all over again

[Eriane_Elis]

Everyone panics because the news tells you that there's going to be a shortage and everyone rushes to the store to buy toilet paper for no good reason. You think to yourself, I do have about 4 months of toilet paper in supply but I should probably buy another 2 year's worth JUST IN CASE.

The queue system is no different. You worry so much about the queue that you're willing to try to "game the system" just in case you might feel like playing tonight. You might not but just in case you do, you have your keyboard macro doing its thing.

But little did you know, there was never going to be a toilet paper shortage and the "just in case" was a hivemind of people being overly worried over nothing.

Some people see queues of 4000 or even 5000+ and it could be less than a 15min queue each day if people would just queue when they want to play instead of the maybe. Of course, this is in an ideal world where people could collectively change their ways. Just food for thought. Have fun with your overstock of toilet paper, just in case...

Except toilet paper run out and stores stopped selling toilet paper when it run out.

Meanwhile SE keeps selling the basic game + expansions + monthly fees while their outdated crap servers can't handle the current population.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed are we? If you don't want to see my posts you can do so whenever you want. In fact, I'm tired of seeing your whiteknighting posts, so into the ignore list you go! buh-bye!

You are not required to pay for the sub. No one is forcing you. You may think SE selling a sub right now is bad, but it's not like you have no choice.

Also it's more like that the stores can't sell toilet paper right now because not enough is being produced but everyone is blaming the stores for not having it because apparently they think having money means they can make toilet paper magically appear on the shelves.

What are you talking about? The official FFXIV EN twitter is savagely promoting the game. Where was the "Be mindful that purchasing the game now might result in you not being able to play" disclaimer on those tweets? There's lots of threads of new players that bought the game in the past days that haven't been able to create a new character.

You know you're kind of right, if only in the fact it's just like when people bought up all the toilet paper to try to scalp it.


That a similar situation with people literally afk botting to stay in the game from morning to night.

I didn't say I approve of those. I said no one is required to sub to the game if they don't want to for whatever reason. Simple as that.
