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.
