1017-Could be the deciding factor on whether to subscribe or not

[LeviathanElite]

^^^^^^^

Like... this error is so annoying that I'm considering not paying a subscription for a game that I cannot play. If I am paying 15 dollars a month, I should be able to play the game whenever I want.

What do you guys think>?

[LeviathanElite]

I dont want to have to wait till midnight to login. That means I can only play on the weekends because people have to be up in the morning for you know... real life things

[Zer0]

Yeah I think thats a good plan. I just don't care anymore. I'll wait until servers are stable enough and reliable.

I'd much rather pay a subscription for FFXIV than FFMXVII. That said, I enjoy the mess the AFKers are causing and encourage them to make an even bigger mess-- if for no other reason than to hold Square's feet to the fire.

The problem will be extinguished within a month or two. Come back later, if you see fit.

Oh yes, it'll be fixed one way or the other-- whether Square fixes it or masses just give up and quit.

I have not been able to access my server since the end of early access. At lest not when I have time to play!

I would like to play the game I spent money on, and I would like to play it when I have time to play, not MAYBE at 4am, if I'm lucky.

I should have logged in and stayed logged in like all the people that are keeping my server full.

Do you understand how bad of a response is that? Do you understand they have 1 strike already and reputation is bad, in fact reviews are horrid at the moment cause of this choatic mess, do you understand this can be end before it begins. This all could have been fixed if the Square Enix developers implemented an AFK mechanism.

No, I guarantee many are not subbing and I got my $$$ refund cause GameStop knows how bad the launch was, just because they didn't put in an AFK system.

Your response is worse, I guarantee you. If anything, I'm being realistic--it's likely not going to be fixed by Wednesday. And a lot of you are failing to understand that an AFK timer can be easily circumvented; it would fix the problem for half a day, and then no one would be able to log in again. That's not a solution.

Also: I want to know where you're getting your stats from. Critic previews and reviews have been mostly positive, so have User reviews. Rock-bottom reviews are coming from angry morons who are rating their login experience and not the actual game.

So obviously A) you are working for Square Enix or are just a fanboy or fangirl. or B) You dont understand logic.

They said they would give us 1 free week. Does that sound like 2 extra months of time to you? During that time will you not have to pay to play or not? I'm pretty sure you will. So yes, while people are not paying right now... they did pay for the game which also costs money. The game did not come free with the local walmart buy an orange get ffxiv free. It costed MONEY. Now I understand a few messups, but this is ridiculous. How can you keep defending them>? Listen... if you seriously think people are going to pay 15 dollars a month for a game they cant even play during normal hours... then you are either delusional or just stupid.

1. I'm speaking specifically about that week and the three day extension on the Early Access period. Get your head out of your ass.
2. They've given away a free year and discounted the subscription heavily in the past (down to three dollars a month). From a business perspective, I could see them doing it again if it meant they could keep a steady base of subscribers. Whether they would give away an entire month is cause for debate (given that Wada is no longer the President), but it's also not entirely impossible.

Your response is worse,

Ok so you are clearly just trolling this thread. Please leave.
