Yeah I'm going to chime in again on this issue because it's immensely frustrating. Especially when the queue is 5k+ on my server and I know from experience that takes several hours to complete. I'm not going to sit at my computer and just stare at the countdown for 3 or 4 hours waiting for my turn to play. Instead, I'm going to queue up, crank the volume up, and go downstairs to watch some TV or eat dinner or whatever and when I hear the game music and sounds of people doing things around me, I know I'm finally in. The problem is, that never happens. Because I can't be in the queue more than about 30 minutes without a 2002 error kicking me out. So at this point my options are very limited to actually play the game because if I'm not willing to get up first thing in the morning and log on before there's a queue and then offer human sacrifices to Comcast in the hopes that my connection will remain stable so I don't get kicked out...

Which brings up another great point actually. When you get dropped from the game because an instance server goes down or something silly like a temporary lapse in internet connection, you have to sit through the entire queue again. This has happened to me several times since the launch of Endwalker and it's super frustrating as well. Because you "did your time" and waited in the queue so you could play and then something beyond your control boots you out (sounds a lot like the 2002 error now doesn't it) and you're stuck in the queue again for another 3-4 hours.

So basically at this point unless you're playing in the off-peak times for your server when no one else is awake/playing... Endwalker has become a never-ending loop of waiting to maybe play the game so you can wait to maybe play the game. At the very very least, we need to resolve the 2002 error crap. If you're in the queue, you're in the queue. If your spot in line "comes up" and you aren't actively in the game client ready to connect to the server, then you lost it and you have to start over. If you get into the queue at position 5500 and get kicked out with a 2002 error at position 4000, as long as you log back in and rejoin the queue before spot 4000 is "called" to get into the server, you get. your. spot. back.
