Is there any indication that things are getting better?

I was not able to play the game for a week now due to the super long queues. Is there any indication that things are getting better or should I just unsub of this unplayable game?

Things are a lot worse on my end today. Queue is MUCH longer than before for me. Also, I'm getting 2002 errors more often. I could usually get some playtime in if I started queue at 2:30 to 3:00pm where I live (prime is at 5 to 9 where I live). I tried as usual to log in at 3pm, but I was unable to get in to play the game at all this time. I've given up for today.

I started out as willing to forgive Square for these constant issues, particularly after dealing with it from other MMOs for years. Now, however, its getting tiresome. Particularly since I'm fairly certain that those with an Endwalker license on their accounts are getting priority over someone who only has a sub with Shadowbringers. I sat in a 4k queue for four hours earlier, dealing with multiple 2002s, and the queue never went down in that entire time. Its always been accurate previously, but now it just decides to not be accurate? I'm not buying that for an instant. I am definitely leaning more towards the crowd that says additional server hardware should have been implemented after the launch of Shadowbringers, long before Covid brought companies this "chip shortage".

I reckon the only silver lining here is that at this rate, I'm looking at an entire month of subscription time I technically don't have to pay for before this issue stops being an issue-- provided Square doesn't just stop at the extra seven days compensation.

People are not given priority, every night this week i have been in queues of over 6K and even again about a hr ago. I have given up for now and debating letting go of my sub for a month or 2

I've got all the expansions and have bought them all well in advance of the xpac drops, and I am still waiting in the queue to get in since 3pm est. I've had multiple 2002 errors and plenty of "unable to access the server" responses, so no, you are not being kept out of any kind of priority queue. I'm down to under 1000 again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Nope, it's still the same shit show. If it was olden days, people would and should have been falling on their swords! #ClusterFcuk

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.

There is one more issue that no one talks about. Bad routers. I got a lot of poor connections and disconnects using both cheap and mid range D-Link routers. I install a router fan on the mid range and disconnect issues are gone. I swapped to Asus RT-AC68U. It doesn't even need additional cooling.

Accidentally kicked myself out of the game, stuck in long queue, oh well. Worth noting, been sat in queue for... idk, 2-3 hours, on wifi, without any errors.
