It's Been Fun

[c2pbro]

Hahaha...people are so entitled, eh?

If you buy something, you really are E-N-T-I-T-L-E-D to it. Fanboys make me sad, they can't even stand up for themselves--like they owe SE something.

Consumers can't just put up with stuff like this, it's their right and duty to demand what they paid for.

Ok there are a 2 things you have to explain to me:
1. No matter how E-N-T-I-T-L-E-D you are your bitching (sorry) won't fix the error faster. It's pretty much the other way. Have you ever in your life experienced pressure in your job? It almost never has a positive effect.
2. How many hours did you play exactly to reach lv 50? 20 hours? 30? Well no matter you were obviously able to play quite a lot since release and now that you can't play the game for a day you act like this? Pitiful .. really pitiful.

I don't get why you complain, really. Are you already addicted or is it simply that you have no life whatsoever? Sad ...

So... complaining about technical issues in a forum here to voice technical issues is... wrong?

Pressure doesn't help in the workplace? Doesn't have a positive effect? Wow, I want your comfy job. All these big firms and corporations must have it wrong. My fiancee works for Toyota and he's on tight deadline with massive pressure daily and that's just how companies typically seem to work. I'm an aesthetician here in Japan and I am worked well beyond the point of 'a few letters on a forum pressure'. Pressure gets results. I'm sorry it's not a pat on the back but sometimes people need a kick in the ass as opposed to a pat on the back.

This isn't kindergarten where we give out chocolates and gold stars for emotional effort. This is the second time this game has been released and this is their second try at fixing a failed project. People we promised the world and given procrastination once their purchase was made.

If a technical issue of a game upsets an individual and they complain about it in a forum specifically set up to voice such a technical issue is having no life whatsoever... Then, what is bitching at a person on a forum that doesn't really apply to you when you clearly don't think it's worth while to voice an opinion about it just for the sake of bitching at them called?

yes they have a rocky start.. just wait a couple of days. Jeez... everyone is soo entiled! They are doing their best and communicating it ALL... patience!

Doing their best would have been to make sure their second attempt after the first FFXIV horribly failed worked like clockwork. Saying things like "We underestimated the amount of people" is marginally acceptable for the first time around without a botched same-named project in the past looming around. But, when you fail and try to make up for your failure, you don't underestimate...

Like any other company would have, they should have overestimated their user base, avoided massive issues like a large multitude of players being locked out with no proper ETA or queue and things may have been great for them.

We know you like the game and maybe even love Square Enix, but... These people have every right to be disgruntled and every right to post about it in a forum section about technical support and issues. Which is more of an entitled person? The ones posting their issues in a forum made by the company to post issues? Or, the person calling everyone 'entitled' because they don't share the same level of patience as them?

We have been waiting six days already!!! Their is no sense of urgency at SE they are acting like Blizzard and saying "it will get done when it gets done". At least announce an extension on the 30 days of free pay will put players at ease. I mean come on it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out good customer service and management

I mean SE is still running TV commercials. Why are they running a commercial for a game THAT DOESN'T WORK!!! Whenever I see that commercial I can imagine the elf dude saying "live the 1017" rather then "live the fantasy"

You make entitled sound like a dirty word. Yes I am entitled. I paid for a product and service which means I should be entitled to some service. I've been able to log in 2 days since the prelaunch. I think that entitles to me something.

Seeing as these issues were in beta 4 and we're now 7 days after launch with the same issues.

Refund is the only option and let the game die as SE is not ready at all to handle a MMO. They showed us this in the first launch lol.

[alex33x]

I'm on the same boat as you, I wish SE would actually try for once.

[Trae]

So here's what I don't understand. SE acknowledges their system is broken and tell us that it won't be fixed until Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and they say that in order to compensate for lost playing time they're going to extend our free play period.

Waiting until Wednesday sucks, but it is what it is. At least they told us.

But I don't get why people keep trying to play and aggravating themselves into rage-quit territory. Go play something else this weekend. Let them deploy their fix and see if it actually fixes things. If it doesn't, then by all means rage quit (I will!).

But trying to play on a holiday weekend (in the US anyway) when the servers are busted is just like slamming your forehead into a concrete wall and hoping somehow you're going to knock a hole through the wall. All you're going to get is a headache out of it.

All my friends are rage-quitting and all they're doing is hurting themselves since they already paid for the game and I don't believe they're persistent enough to get a refund. I'd rage-quit too if I'd spent the last 4 days trying and failing to log into a game.

Step away, let SE fix it, and come at it fresh. MMOs are marathons, not sprints, and in the overall scope of things not playing this first week isn't going to gimp you -- and now that SE has said they'll compensate us for the downtime, we don't have that clock-ticking pressure to play, either.
