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

Semiconductor shortage is just BS, its a lame excuse.
As my previous post: 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.

Currently for EU this is not a high load time of year, the severs are no were near "full" and they ALWAYS have a safe, standard load limit with options to "boost" for high load times, server capacity is down to how much server capacity Square have leased, they could increase but obviously at an extra cost, clearly they dont want to do that, its their choice and the game currently is suffering for it, next week it will get worse for sure xmas week more people of work, school etc, but this is all squares fault.

You clearly are very uniformed and pulling BS out your arse for the sake of spite. You are also spewing crap that others some of which who have paid no attention to the media posts have said. The server issues are frustrating but throwing out BS just so you can spit in SE's face is ignorance.

I work for Voss IT in Hamburg we lease servers and host many different things, although its mainly for online media, I know how the "current" situation is and have associates who do host game servers , we have no issues, there is a shortage for building new hardware but its only hard to obtain due to its recent cost inflation, the equipment is there, not hard to get if your willing to pay vastly overpriced costs

Which leads to a point I made in another post, Square do have the option to increase server capacities or even lease new servers from different company's but they will be paying a premium for it and obviously they do not want to spend, game issues are all down to money NOT hardware resources

In short you don't handle SE servers and like so many others don't have any idea what they are looking for. If you paid any kind of attention to what they have said they are willing to pay higher prices!! Next who said they were leasing their servers?? Their out trying to purchase more server hardware to build more servers, if they were leasing the servers. Would it not be the job the company who owns the servers to do that!! What your saying is like renting a car it blowing a head gasket and the rental company saying you have to pay for the repairs.

Ah you are one of those people that bc you work for a company you know how it works for all companies.

Maybe if you did better research you wouldnt have posted this ramble..... So SE doesnt lease their server just like it was pointed out there plenty of MMO companys that dont lease them but owns them. While some do and some uses cloud base servers, there plenty that dont do what you are rambling on about. The Devs has already said they are trying to get more servers adn willing to pay premium but hey people cant do research and read apparently and want to assume they are just sitting there
