But I feel like the login issues could have alleviated with a few simple fixes days ago and that Square-Enix is using the issues to get players hooked.

#1: Not enough servers: Pretty obvious.

#2 No auto logout: With the other issues, this is really what makes the whole thing a mess. SE has made a system that rewards never logging out. That is really the only way you can get good time in right now.

#3: Queue is too small: When you do get the realm list loaded up (no small feat), you are stuck spamming it until it actually places you in a queue. EVERYONE should be placed in a queue. Doesn't matter if it is 1000 players long. It will reduce login spam.

No logout> Realm fills up > No queue > Server List gets bogged > No play
They train you to log in over and over.
Well done Square Enix. The only way to play the game right now will get you hooked in no time.

I believe that SE had incentive to launch like this and like a reasonable business took advantage of it.
