Today though? Nope. I waited about 45min to get crashed out with a 2002... And of course, every immediate re-login attempt resulted in more 2002 errors, until I missed my spot in the queue and had it reset.

This system is absolute garbage. The game itself is amazing, but clearly this game was oversold, the servers under-prepared, and now it's all a big hot mess. Well done.

Ques are 100% expected, being unable to join the ques because they are full would not make me happy but for the short term I could accept it. However kicking people mid que to keep the que down is unacceptable and the slow response to it is even worse.

I have played this game since 1.0 alpha test and for the first time am truly considering quitting.

You both joined just recently. Its understandable you guys joined during a content drought when the population was on hiatus waiting for the expansion. during this time the population soared nearly 3-4x its original in just a span of a few months. Now with all the hype that is endwalker it brings even more people into the fold.

The team had no idea how big the growth was. the same issued happed in 2014. Know what happened? the same damned thing but they were able to get more servers to help out. and now during a pandemic you children come on here raining hellfire to a company that is trying its best for everyone and you need to pull this crap.

Please take some deep breaths and get off the internet for a day to calm down. the game will be here regardless what you say.
