It's apparent SE doesn't care that non-JP servers are encountering 2002 issues

You don't like that people defend Square and their server shortage problem?

For EU and NA the servers are leased, for EU I know for a fact there in Frankfurt Germany, and is the very same server company that provide servers for 100's if not 1000's of publishers in the EU, WoW, Tera, Rift..practically all the EU servers for games published in the EU are from the same company, which now makes you think, if more people are playing FFXIV and not other games the overall load on servers is still the same as before Endwalker, for every player not playing X game is now playing Y instead = still same load on servers.

People keep mentioning "semiconductor shortage too, that's just BS,
Maybe, just maybe, due to covid and more people playing online games these sever company's have increased the cost slightly to "cash in" hence I believe its more a fact that Square do not want to lease more server capacity for the EU and NA regions as a more save the huge influx of revenue for them. This is not a fault of the FFXIV team, Yoshi etc this is down the Square themselves they are the ones who control the purse strings and have set budgets for each of the game projects and publishers.

just down to corporate greed, they literally don't want to spend their huge influx of profit
