OP must have been living in a cage for the past 2 years and doesn't know about the massive world wide silicon shortage that has been going on.

SE must have been right next to them in the same cave I guess. Current servers can't handle a launch. Don't launch. Not hard to figure out.

Then you'd just be complaining they aren't adding new content, games dead, etc.

No, no I would not. I'm not ignorant. Shame on you for assuming so much.

[Gameovers]

No, no I would not. I'm not ignorant. Shame on you for assuming so much.

Are you sure about that?

well.. yes, you kind of are. because if you were around when they announced a two week delay, you would be VERY aware of the outcry and outrage at the delay

This is worse. Clearly.

not exactly. many people are in fact playing. the game is in fact stable. are there queues, yes. are there errors associated with waiting for hours in a queue? yes there is...

but people are playing and enjoying it.

so no, this is not worse.. clearly. if they delayed it you would be here complaining about "how can a major company miss a release date with BS about not enough capacity??? SE isnt an indie company!!! release NOW!!! I paid to be playing by this date... SE SUCKS!"

and you know you would be.

If they didn't launch at all then people still couldn't play Endwalker. Now at least a lot of people can.

Some people actively ignore this no matter how many times it's brought up. They keep saying SE have money so they obviously can fix the issue. They don't want to understand that you cannot buy something that doesn't exist. They don't want to understand that a pandemic further complicates this. They don't want to understand that the WoW exodus to this game happened at the worst possible time. They don't want explanations. They just want things fixed right now and no amount of excuses or reasons will get through to them.

I'm not saying I'm happy about any of this but I don't see the point in getting angry with SE over something they literally cannot fix and is entirely out of their hands. God they even cannibalised their own dev back-up servers to help with the queues. That's how bad it is. They have literally put their development at risk just to allow more players online. And yet many people say SE don't care. Why? Because if it's not perfect now then it means SE don't care. Their perspective is entirely black and white.
