Getting frustrating at the 2002 and losing queue position

[Trixserial]

i come from wow where the community is garbage and the storyline base at best but not even really that. when i started playing pre ew drop. i was very happy with the game and its community. after looking at almost every other mmo on the market and my favorite streamers, that had been holding out on ff14, giving it a try. i have to say a was very very pleased with what i was seeing. i fully expected que times with ew drop. between the huge expanse in player base and the limited number or servers. i knew ques would be huge. this 2002 error though is making me lose my faith in the developers ability to resolve issues. and i say that only because from what ive seen of ew and everything ive heard from other players. the ONLY issue they have is this constant 2002 connection drop error. so every time i get dropped( causing me to lose my place in que more specifically ) its a major disappointment. with everything else going so well for the game you would think they could throw enough resources at this problem to get it fixed. blizzard has its faults but even they are smart enough to say hey, we NEED more servers and to spread the ppl out. then do so by buying more servers and giving out free character xfers from high pop servers. i only just now qued up at 3998 a bit ago. waited an hour till i was down to low 2000s to get 2002 dropped over and over again till i lost my place in que and came back in finally at 4153. this is bs and part of me wants to demand my money back. part of me askes why am i paying them to NOT let me play the game. i know none of these things will happen. i am very impressed by the game and its community and have found none other like it. nor would i expect to get my money back seeing as to how i agreed to a none refundable purchase. i will restate what i said earlier though. with this being the REAL( with so few others ) issue they have with ew drop. why is it taking so long to find a solution. if you cant fix the code because things are to congested. then the next solution to follow is to spread out said congestion. ANYTHING actually will do at this point if i could only stop getting f&*%ed out of my que plz.

Might be time to open up about 10 new servers and let people move to low pop ones for free.

Because I can't stand sitting in a queue for hours, only to lose my spot.

I have to agree with opening the new server and free transferring in current situation

They would if they had servers.

I've been having a slightly different problem the past few days, usually I've been playing around 3-7AM and I would be able to get into the game with relative ease...but that isn't the issue. Its when I'm playing the game that I get randomly punted out like every 10-15 mins, and sometimes maybe 20 minutes if I'm lucky.

Then it got so bad it was around every couple minutes, seems to happen way more often when I do TRUSTs instead of Duty Finder Players (why this is the case I have no idea).

I got so frustrated today I quit for the rest of the day to do other things.

Hell

I tried to into get into AREA 5 one time and every single instance was full apparently, that is literally never happened before since I've been playing this. Now imagine if you will if you logged out in that zone and tried to log in...(yeah that wouldn't be good) unless they have some kind of measures in place that I'm not aware of.


Just to meme for a sec here..

I was able to get in! Then, I had a call from one of my family members concerning the holidays. I took too long and was logged out. Now sitting at 4042. I just can't win!

Maybe actively kick all those Chibas, Jade characters, and that Cat guy who stands around and dances in one spot around Lamia and it might help.

Yeah, I wish they'd do something about that. Even before the expansion pre-release and launch, I had to wait in a 50-ish person queue every time I logged in. Only to see the same 20+ characters in every single world server in Limsa (and elsewhere) that's always standing around AFK dancing, posing, or playing instruments for days, weeks, and months on end. Not to mention all the bots multibox script farming and throwaway accounts standing around every main city shouting gil RMT websites. We'd probably have less server congestion and people in the queue on each world if Square would do something about them.

I've played maybe 10 hours of the new expansion in total because I can't get logged into the game. Meanwhile, I see constant flame threads from people with multiple 90's (including the new classes) whining about how they can't play. I haven't even made it out of the second zone yet. On my third hour now just trying to get logged into the server. I've been 2002'd four times so far and my queue was reset from 2300 back to 4700 earlier. I can't spend my entire play time just trying to get in.

I'm starting to get upset too. Twice today waited from 4k to 1k, then got booted and couldn't reconnect and sent back to 4k again. Waste of an entire day. This is an absolute travesty.

[ibiteyourankle]

Well, at least (for me right now) I haven't gotten kicked yet
