how they are made.

You're right. SE is just making it up because they get a kick out of antagonizing you. They get on these forums and laugh when you make these posts. You should stop giving them what they want.

My uncle works at Square Enix and he told me Yoshi-P has like a hundred new servers and he's using them to farm Bitcoin instead of letting us play. The queue isn't even real, there's plenty of spots for players to log in but they are blocking us from playing the new expansion just to troll us. Same with the 2002 "error," it's scripted on purpose to kick people out as a prank. The FFXIV team gets paid a bonus for every angry thread posted to the forums!

This post just made me realize I have no idea whats going on.

Then you are already way ahead of 90% of the people whining and acting like they are experts who know how to run an MMO better than the professionals.
