It's Been Fun

[Fluttercrash]

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!

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.

And I'd like to add if you brought that piece of fruit to serve at a party on Labor Day but the super market said they would refund your fruit on Wednesday (two days after the holiday), you'd be very upset too. Oops they're sold out at the moment too

Most Supermarkets dont refund fresh produce because there is no expiration date market on it.
And one could say if you bought a piece of fruit without checking it out first, took it home and it was rotten, it was your own negligence and ignorance that caused the purchase.
Fortunately that's not the same case here.
In this instance, SE promised and hyped up this game to get us all excited about it, and failed to deliver an experience that would keep us hooked for years to come. They killed their own hype with the failure of their poor planning. So they advertised a steak, and gave us ground beef.

We'll still eat, and be fed up. But it will never be as satisfying as the steak would have been.

No they not.
We get a damn update once in a blue moon.
Tickets get closed, no one replies to them, they mark them as not important.
Servers shoulda been fixed now. We are entitled, because we spent money on this game and we cannot play it.
It's frustrating. Now people are getting inpatient, but man if Wednesday comes here and shit still goes to hell.
I really don't know what they can do. AFK system may be of great help. Otherwise, bust in the system.
I don't like people who try to calm the crowd and tell us to be patient, with all due respect, but you're just aiming yourself right slap dab
in a middle of a snipers range. I can't even White Knight for no one because this is full out ridiculous.
Most peoples who tell us to chill is probably ones up there AFKing sittin' on a tree never needing to log out and playing.
Now I love this game and I'm not going to up and leave, but I really...really hope once this blows over we won't have anymore
serious problems like this for loooooong time if ever again.

Yo man, you need to chill out.

The game has proven much more popular than anticipated, which is great for its long-term health, and therefore great for players like me that plan to spend years with it.

Deal with it, and give it a few more weeks.

[mindful]

The server issues can be excused , since they said there is a fixed on the way and large demand for the game. Yet how they could not see there was a lot of people that pre-order the game , not expect a large based. that is lack of judgement. Now the really big issues is there customer service system. Last monday 8/26/13, It made the second account error on my account. With the digital download on the ps3 version of the game, went straight from tos to create account to my account and created acc#2. my ticket number then was only 2,60million number. Now other night made a new one 2.67mil. That 70k users that had made tickets. This is also with them not even taken people tickets anymore. And there been no support or very limited support EU. That really getting old fast since there all on holiday for NA players.

The servers really arent broken, there just arent enough of them. >.>

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 ...

[Zefar]

If they give me back all the days I wasn't able to play on I might forgive them a bit. Because right now we paid for a limited amount of time. Them messing up most things for close to a week is not acceptable.

Not to mention there really ain't any "Europe" servers as they are all located in Canada. Or so I heard. Might be true because I get the same ping on all of them and it says "Good" but I still have 2 second delay. I have Excellent ping on Japanese Servers which is fun because they are further away than Canada is. Me being in Sweden.

If this is going to be normal I will not buy another month of time. Also the game is a pretty generic MMORPG with very little originality.

My rl friends are fed up with this game / company already, due to all the 1017 errors / cant create a character etc etc.

We have played a lot of games from launch and Free to Play games were much smoother than this to be honest.

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?

[Xceriis]

A wee bit ridiculous no? error 1017 and now 2002. I paid for this? That opening cinematic is not worth my $30. plus with error 2002 i can't even stare at that until my server opens up.

what can we do people?

You can respect that the video must of had an 3d animation crew all $30+ an hour to make... so... yeah that cinematic is worth $30+ and waiting is all you can do and complaining.
