Well, you know the solution would honestly be less people. That's the immediate root cause of this problem.
Don't want to deal with the login queues and the lockouts? Don't play for a while. I've said this before, but this bears repeating, this seems more like a hardware issue than a software one, and it's likely not feasible to quickly solve this problem, given the gigantic demand SE has been saddled with.
We can complain, or we can be patient. Either way it reflects nothing on the actual game substance and content and everything to do with the fact that demand is incredibly higher than the supply at the moment.
We don't set Game Stop/Sony/Microsoft on fire for not having enough PS4s and XBoxOnes on the shelves, nor should we do so to SE for servers who are buckling under overload.

I agree it's obviously not something they can just throw money at, or you'd think they would have done that by now, if for no other reason than to give their staff a respite. However, we should be able to choose when we login, this should not be dictated for us because of our chosen MMO company's (in)competence. I can tolerate queues or having growing pains, but providing no long-term solution that's noticeable by the majority of our server cluster after 9 days of the same issues repeating themselves over and over is not how they're going to win people's hearts. I will stick with the game, personally because I love what i've experienced, but there are a great deal of people out there who don't give a whit one way or the other.
I digress...there's little point in rehashing the same. Moving on.
