Why even bother queing, what a joke system

[SaberMaxwell]

I feel like to get the queue moving they need a timer on playtime per session*.

Example:

Play 8 hours straight, get booted off and have to login back in / join the queue.

It would suck but at least the queue would be flowing better and 8 hours is reasonable.

With a queue flowing a bit better getting booted / forced to re-log may not be that bad.

That would fix any 3001 errors (world is full) but it would flood the login servers so much worse. Those would be the 2002 errors everyone is having.

I don't understand how we can't get a ticket or something connected to our account. Or something similar to a call back instead of waiting on hold on the phone for hours.

I know right? If someone as awful as my ISP can figure out doing that idk why they can't. they already have an app for logging in just use the one time password codes for it.

I just got that 4004 too few minutes ago. Left the que for like one and a half hour, came back to "player in que: 1" and I knew something's gonna happen. Indeed, something happened...

Lol imagine working block shifts and you only have 1 day to play FF and you log in at 8am and then get booted cause someone decided the guy who logs in every day at 5pm deserves the spot more.

Kept getting the 2002 error while trying to get into the data center several times. Finally made it past that bottle neck and make it into the queue at around 4600. Around every 100 or so that the queue drops that nasty 2002 error hits and I quickly log back into the data center to not lose my place in queue. Get to around 3700 and 2002'ed again after an hour of the previously mentioned. Try to reconnect to data center only to be met with 2002 over and over again. Finally get past that and find my place in the queue is gone and have to start all over, and now the queue is at 6625.

I don't mind waiting in a queue, even an extremely long one, as long as there is a guarantee that that time will have a payoff. The fact that a player can be kicked out of the queue is ridiculous but at least there is a grace period you can get back in. Of course what's worse is if you can't connect to your data center due to that same 2002 error, that queue spot is gone and all that time completely wasted. I've suffered through some pretty rough launches of games but this might close to the top for me.

This has been my situation (and others') literally all day, today. I can't stand it.

If WOws so great then why are they not packed with overflowing servers? Could it be no ones playing that trash cuz they got a taste here?

Bearing mind that WoW is an 18 year old game and still does some things better than FF14

[Xtro99]

Lol. Lmao even.

damn. That's rough.

What this showed us that we have bigger problems than a broken queue. We have a community problem that will defend these sort of things. That is the real rot.
