Wrong, IMO. The problem is that SE didn't give the red-headed stepchildren enough servers. Yoshida can boo-hoo-hoo all he wants in public, but the fact is that SE has not even acknowledged the problem yet to their customers who paid money for the privilege of 1017 ad infinitum. Make a sticky in the Technical Support forum, or put a topic on the list in the launcher so that people can see that you actually care about your customers. I played FFXI from day one, and never got hit with anything like 1017, 90000, or 3102 - and half the time I played that game I was on 56K. Ten years later, with a comp that gets 7000+ on high settings, and an 80/35 mbps connection, I get 90000/3102 all over the place during beta 3/4, and now on release day, 1017gate. Unbelievable.
