The server is full, try again later (1017)

I would just like there to be a queue again, really.
It would be better to know how long I'm going to have to wait to play as opposed to just blindly attempting to log in every 5 minutes. And then resolving to just go do something else for a while and then coming back and just... nope. Still the same error. It feels like I"m being jerked around.

Didnt they actually make a big deal about people staying in the queue in order to reduce the load on the servers as opposed to hammering them repeatedly with constant login attempts?
Doesn't this mean they've kinda shot themselves in the foot?

I'm not really one to make a complaint about how I "paid for early access and I'm not getting it" but honestly, it was a marketing decision designed to get us to preorder the game; it was offered to us as an incentive to TRUST square enix with our loyalty, to say hey, I'm being offered something in return for my faith in the relaunch of a previously failed game, to give them the benefit of the doubt and put our money on the table.

The plain and simple truth is, they're not delivering that. They hyped this game up so much, they tried to get everyone to come back on board with them after 1.0, to entice NEW players with a shiny new and improved game, and after all that marketing they didn't think about the hardware to support that? It just.. baffles me. Really, it does.

I'm not upset about my money. I'm not upset about not being able to play. I'm upset because I put my faith and trust in a company and gave them my support despite their previous shortcomings (I even ENCOURAGED other people to give this game a chance!) and they just spat in my face again with empty apologies and excuses.
