A Simple Quick Band Aid fix

[lezard21]

You want to dictate how others are allowed to play the game,

People are already dictating how you are allowed to play the game.

Botters and afkers have dictated that you are not allowed to play the game by using exploits and 3rd party programs to keep you out.

What other option do you propose since Square Enix is not showing any intentions of upgrading their servers any time soon?

Your solution punishes those who truly wish to play more than it punishes those who are abusing the system.

I don't think any suggestion can punish people that truly wish to play more than how people that abuse the system punish them. They literally cannot play and has been that way for 3 days now.

I've never had my time in game limited by bots and afkers.

The solution until they get it worked out is to wait. It's the same with every major MMO release. That's all you can do. They at least gave you extra sub time and promise more if there are still issues in a week. Blizz didn't do that for Vanilla Classic.

While our sub time is ticking and after we've already purchased the expansion

They at least gave you extra sub time

Which I'm not currently able to enjoy regardless due to the problem not being fixed. 7 free days of not being able to play does not compensate for 7 paid days in which I was not able to play.

An extra week was added to your sub time so not while it's ticking away.

And everyone is in the same boat with you. Angering more players is not a solution.

Considering the queues drop down to normal during off peak times, I doubt there are huge numbers of players exploiting the systems. At least not more than would be punished by your gameplay.

Sorry, can't help with that boss fate. Have to go to another map so I don't get kicked and get an hour lock out. This would happen.

Player has been waiting for hours for a fate to pop on a popular map and that fate drops quickly. Pops while they are switching to another map and back to avoid being kicked out for multiple times the fate has popped.

Player so engrossed with the story they lose track of time and get booted with an hour lockout all because they got immersed in the story.
