Is this really good enough?

[Seregil]

My main gripe with the login issue is that the super tiny queues mean my place in line is constantly dropped and I have to sit at my computer spamming login attempts every 30sec, while people in-game afk for hours to avoid it.

I think this has been everyone's main gripe. Putting players in an extended queue is one thing, but to tell them, "sorry, we're full, try again later" is both insulting and unacceptable. Queues we can handle, we expect them... especially since SquareEnix didn't expect how many players they'd have (which one would think might have been the easiest thing in the world to foretell).

When the game officially launches - and it already has in some parts of the world, according to the news on the launcher and elsewhere - I expect an even more fiery backlash than what has already transpired.

It's a shame, too, because I had high hopes that this game wouldn't fail. Serves me right for wishful thinking, because this game will now not even hobble out of the gate before it's deemed a commercial failure.
