SE I present you the cloud !

I like constructive criticism, it's helped the game a lot. Things got changed due to aging GUI and such (remember the Coke problem or token turn ins, etc...)

But I'm not gonna lie - it is kinda annoying that so many think now with their Comp-TwitterIA certs are coming in and thinking they know way more than the guys who actually have to run the game servers.

Some things may be better defaulted to those actually dealing with the logistical nightmare than thinking they have the heads up after reading a reddit post or running a home server.

I do understand what you're saying.. and I agree that it's possible, I just cannot agree with your choice of words. Language is incredibly important to me to convey what one means exactly and feasible doesn't apply here as far as I can measure.

Practically and functionally, cloud servers seem to be a large undertaking both financially and labor resource wise. Something SE has looked into and decided against. As I cannot say I am privy to any of their reasons I have to accept that a company of their resources, talent, and experience combined with the passion that the FFXIV team has shown to try and deliver a certain level of experience, has not dismissed them as an option lightly.

I agree with you.

The only thing they can reasonably do is to fix the fact you get booted from the queue and then lose your place. Hopefully sooner or later because people will naturally drift away if it goes on much longer.

Agreed. That really really sucks and I hope they find the exact cause soon. They seem to at least be on it's track and trying things out.

Among all the technical ignorance on display lately, I'm just waiting for someone to take the next step and suggest blockchain.

I hate everything about this, but I have to tell you there are already blockchain-driven MMO concepts out there. :|

As pointed out, they said they looked into it and found it to be unreliable. I haven't seen any superior evidence against that in this thread.
