Are you guys not logging out or something?

[Ayella]

sry to be one of those assholes but there is no way I'm logging out when it takes me 3 hours to get back in

[Cyroselle]

For what it's worth, I log out after every gaming session. I know others that do as well, but we are in the extreme minority.

Go into any capitol city and you'll see hundreds of players just standing around, and they'll be in those same positions everytime you come back to town.

We really need AFK timers.

Take a walk a round the cities/sanctuarys/towns you can see MANY people afk, and walk by them an hour later and still in that exact place. People are abusing the fact they don't get logged out, and staying logged in.
I knew I'd be out of the game for 3 hours, but for this very reason I didn't stay logged in. It's unfair to people trying to play. Not to mention if a lot of people can't get in, they may give up soon, and that means less people to play with down the line.

EDIT: Not to mention people in INN's for rested.

There aren't many bots, this game isn't economy based like XI or even as influenced by it as other games like WoW/Rift etc.. Been specifically designed that way, less demand means less need for supply, means less bots.
Just ignore them, and hope to god not too many people start complaining, or SE might do something stupid with how much they hate RMT, and have that huge collateral dmg issue XI had a while back where a whole bunch of innocent people got banned for a long time.

What would make me happy is a Properly Working Queue System. I think you would have less Squatters if people knew they didn't have to worry about pressing a button over and over to play.

Precisely, I'd like to know exactly WHY they removed the queue system they had in place already. If there was a bit more communication it would set a lot of peoples' minds at ease...especially mine. If they said something to the effect of, "Every time we implement the queue system, we are forced to watch our grandmothers do a burlesque routine" or something to this effect; I would cease with my queries...and probably never sleep again.

If they are trying to find instabilities in the server why would they want more people inside the server? All it does is cause more problems. Limiting traffic and getting rid of the que is what i would do if i was at the Data Center and wanted to keep it open. Otherwise i would have just shut down all the servers outright for a week and do a code overhaul on the database.

Did you forget that SE is debugging server issues right now, which is why some features are temporarily going to be disabled. and lag is more prominent as the guys at the datacenter are going through the racks.

I saw a transparent character in the horizon area earlier yesturday. I logged out earlier in the inn for the sleep XP bonus tho an now I can't sign back in

That system is still in place, the only time I'm getting hit with 1017 and I get in, there is a queue...
During non peak hours, I get in right away with no queue or 1017.
I'd happily watch my grandmother do a burlesque routine just for a proper queue again, that way I could plan my nightmares of that event to end by the time my queue pops.

That solves the problem only for one group of people, though: those fortunate enough to get logged into the game. It also promotes those players to STAY in the game donking it up for those of us who log out. Take down the servers for a week and fix the problem...it's not like the entire player base is getting a chance to play the game anyway. Does it seem fair that one group gets to level up and experience content whilst the other group gets to wait it out and be told by those people to "like it"? That's ignorant to the point of being offensive.

I agree, turn it off for everyone and fix the issue. They won't do that though because they don't want to look bad (too late) or should I say, worse for not being able to deliver (too late) on the promised launching. Everyone would be on equal ground, sure people would qq about not being able to play but thats already going on anyway.
