Why are we upset?

[wudup]

First of all, I'm not a final fantasy fan, nor was I a fan of this game in particular, I just bought it on a whim.

You all probably know it's a pain in the butt to try an log into this game, especially during the weekends. But we were told that there was going to be a fix for that this week (probably tomorrow or the next day) which honestly seems like a reasonable time since it takes 4-6 days to ship the servers from japan. - This is why i'm curious about the people complaining about it not getting fixed yet?

Then some of us are upset that our free time is expiring and they believe we are losing our time, but we are getting an extension to our free time and I think they are going to add a free world transfer once that system is up. -This is why I'm curious about people asking for compensation.

Some people registered to the wrong service account and are having trouble contacting customer support. -https://support.na.square-enix.com/c...82&la=1&daxx=2 Hopefully this helps

-HONEST CONCERNS-
-The lack of an afk kicker or proper queue
This is a real concern that needs to be addressed, no two ways about it.
-Botters
Botters hog up valuable space and ruin the game economy, adding both an afk kicker and a way to quickly report botters would have been a great hotfix.
-Customer Support
While I know they are under a lot of pressure I would like to see some general posts in the forums and quicker responses

-So who are the "White knights" on the forums?-
The people who are able to play the game, these people are either fans of the series, or like me, fans of this game. The reason I think you all are so angry and you try to log in for upwards of 7 hours is because you guys really like the game and really want to play it, nobody tries so hard to play a game they don't like. Honestly I was a steaming mad pile of hate and rage until I was actually logged in. Once I log in I really felt the passion put into the game, not as a final fantasy fan but as a fresh set of eyes. This game was the game made from a desperate company trying to create something good.
Which is honestly the best way to make a game, because you are forced to be creative and work hard, I looked up the other day that the original Final Fantasy was called Final Fantasy because it was literally their Final game if it was not successful.

-So am I a Final Fantasy fan-boy or not?-
Short answer: No, I am merely a fan of THIS game.

-How can you not be angry?-
I bought this game with my own money and for the love of god I was FURIOUS
but, once i managed to bypass all the errors, registration problems, log in issues and disconnections. I was able to calm down and enjoy the game, so yes, you guys are rightfully mad, but with it being the last stretch it's high time we calm down and prepare to enjoy the game

-Do I regret writing this for all the potential grief I will get?-
Yes, but I already wrote the whole thing

-Side note-
I have been on this forum for a while and I know how to solve many of the problems, feel free to ask a question on how to patch these up
here's a freebie

-Ending note-
Besides a bit of factual information splattered about, this is mostly my own opinion, if you differ and really need to let off some steam Instead of flooding the support forum, just post here, I'll read them all. Thanks for reading all of that, or some of it, or just reading the title I don't know

I just want to play, that's all I am asking lol.

1017 is hard to deal with I know, especially this weekend, I find it much easier to try an log in during school hours if your able to

I'm not sure why some are so angry. It's human nature to complain. Many are subtle and others are fanatical cry for attention. If we were all made the same, the world we live in would be playing one single game. How exciting is that?

Maybe it's for the best because as you can see, the whole world is trying to play this single game and look whats going on! LOLOLOLOLOL!

I think people fail to see how successful FFXiV:ARR has become.

I know this might sound cruel, but I honestly think SE is sitting there smiling, they sold more copies then they could imagine, clearly, and are upgrading the server size 1 week after release. For those who can't play, but only hear good things from the people who can play, are frustrated and upset.

To people who say people who don't log off are jerks, While I kind of agree, I also understand that they really enjoy the game, and like you are desperate to play it
But that's just my opinion

I don't know about you, but a game I bought in 2010 is not in a playable state come 2013... makes me a little pissed.

I would be too if I wasn't able to get on, but I was able to play for about 4 days before I finally 90k'd and can't find the US/EU server list anymore so I'm not really mad since I only have to wait a shorter period of time, in your case you waited 3 years, talk about dedication, I hope it's everything you wanted once you get on.

Another thread where PSxpert2011 is showing how super awesome he is!

Perhaps people are upset because they, like me, have limited times in which they can play a video game, much less something as involved as an MMO tends to be, so when we get a chance to play...we cannot. Reasonably, we can agree that not everything goes smoothly and having problems is completely natural. Knowing that those things happen... only makes me more upset.

If you and I can reasonably ASSUME something will go wrong. SE should have KNOWN it would and had contingency plans in place for launch. Not a week later, but for launch.

So your world server is full... move on! I have toons in NA, EU and JP... none of which can I log into.

Yes I can do something else. I could go outside and shit in a hole instead of into the toilet that PAID for.

The take away here is that we've one avenue to vent, don't be a hero, just weep for us sad sad people who've got so little else in their lives. Move along.

I know it's not everything I want, but Elder Scrolls Online and the Xbox One aren't out yet..
