Is there any indication that things are getting better?

"You get to log in without any issues or long waits" thing for granted

this SHOULD be a granted when you're paying for a game AND a goddamn monthly subscription. To think its some special treatment is absolutely insane.

It's insane because you made it insane, I didn't say that getting to log in is some sort of special treatment and if you think I did then you need to work on your reading comprehension

you act like this is something that have ever only happened here.... new to an mmo environment?

They should make ffxiv a f2p game if there not going to fix these queue times. If your paying a sub you shouldn't have to wait hours to login and play. It by like you paying for netflix and go to watch a show and be put in queue for few hours.

considering everyone waiting in queue pays a sub... what do you expect them to do, stuff everyone in so we have unstable game servers?

not a viable resolution I am afraid.

Probably. On low pop worlds the queues have lightened significantly. If that's a trend to be followed, I'd expect the queues to similarly lighten across the board in due time.

I got in a 4000 ppl queue today but I wasn't hit by the 2002 error.

I actually just wanted to add my little whine and cry here for the moment. I've been kicked out plenty of times before at the worst times... be it someone i missed and havent seen in a long time texted me, or i went to go do something and spent a little too much time doing it.. today i was setting up remote desktop so i can view my desktop from my mobile and perhaps take a chance at getting a nap after work. Got kicked from queue in the short time it took for me to set up remote desktop on my mobile device and pc and to verify that they were both working now i just had to vent this one out and just let it go. I hadn't complained the entire time and just endured but this one time i just had to let a little whine and cry out. :*(( know I'm not the only one experiencing these issues, though. That's what keeps me from feeling disparaged. I still love the game.

Since it's the semiconductor shortage causing the issue, that will take a few years to sort out, so I wouldn't come back until then.

geez, it's not that bad, we're just in a surge of players right now because a new expansion just launched, ppl will dropping off before long as they finish the MSQ.

Are you calling SE liars? How dare you. If it's a semiconductor shortage, many people in that industry have already said that won't be fixed for several years, so if it's really a semiconductor shortage then neither will this.

Prime time on a Saturday, joined a 1100 queue, albeit on a low pop world (or at least we once were, dunno how the numbers are lately).

Launch day is always the worst. It slowly eases up from there.
