I am finding all the complaining rather amusing at this point among everyone.

It's a game that just released a huge expansion at a time where the world is still trying to get back to some resemblance of normalcy due to Covid. There are plenty other things that can be done if you are really getting so frustrated. Go watch a movie or go to the movies, catch up on the myriad of TV shows or books that you've been putting off because you've spent so much time playing FFXIV already. Go spend time with friends and/or family. Go to a park or for a walk to get out of the house. The game isn't going anywhere and we all need a break every now and then.

As a developer, myself, I can see and understand what SE is going through and dealing with. They have done all that they can until they are able to physically deal with the server additions (again, limited due to Covid, beyond their control).

Chill. So what you can't play right now? It'll be there when things finally settle down, and they will, settle down.
