You want to log in just to get kicked off or crash the client? I didn't realize people love that kind of abuse.

SE has lots of MMORPG experience? Sure, The FFXIV team? People need to realize it is not one team that does all of SE MMORPGs.
Not sure you are fully up to speed on the history there, or maybe some of it has just slipped the mind.

First, the easy one. A LOT of talent involved with FFXI was moved to the FFXIV rebuild, as well as pulling from other succesful projects.

Now... all that bit about people getting in and being allowed to stay in, and SE ensuring a good play experience for them.

Really? Did I just read that right?

People have been denied access because a butt load of the people SE has been allowing to stay in there and ensure they have a good gaming experience have been mostly sitting AFK and not playing the game, preventing others from getting in the game. If not for those circle-jerks clogging the pipes, it may not be appearing so free flowing and stable to those able to get in during peak times. Which leads to another problem...

It's potentially presenting SE with false data. If they see 4k consistently staying on and there are no issues with the instanced content servers (the root of the problem), they may get the wrong impression that all is well--never mind that 2000 of those players may be sitting around a crystal doing nothing, and only 2000 are actively engaging content regularly. What might happen if that number suddenly spikes to the full 4000 or more? Another crash?

So.. no. SE has failed to take appropriate action with the issues at hand, and they should not be given a pass for not responding properly.
