I could only stomach to read half the replies so with that in mind bare with me if I repeat something someone else pointed out already. I totally relate to people who feel upset they can't play. I've been mostly lucky myself with some good days, a few bad days trying to log on. Now with that being said, Yoshi has come out personally on the forums and asked for forgiveness for this mistake. SE thought after the 1.0 bomb, the player-base wouldn't have exceeded 5,000 per server. I actually agree with him because I had similiar estimates prior to Phase 3.

Now this is the part where we don't see eye to eye. SE admitted to ******** up and gave us a possible date(this wed) to resolve it. Regardless, they're offering bonus time to compensate us for our issues in logging on. So I have to let them pass here because they've owned up to this problem, offered a fix date, and wished to compensate us for the trouble. These are the reasons I must respectfully disagree with the opinions that SE is dropping the ball. Sure they made mistakes, but it's how you live up to those mistakes is how you should be defined.

No, you make complete sense. But here's where your argument breaks down:

Have you ever tried to reason with a crying baby? You can't. You can't say to the baby "calm down, no need to cry- I'm going to have your baba ready in 5 minutes." I mean, you can say it, but the baby is going to continue to scream until you put a nipple in its mouth. That's what we have here. A bunch of screaming babies who aren't going to stop until the servers are fixed. It stands to reason that since we've been given a timeline, the whining would have stopped (or at least toned down a bit). Well, it would stand to reason if we were dealing with individuals that have some modicum of patience and self control. Adults, teenagers even should be able to manage this. But what we actually have is babies. Babies that want their baba RIGHT @#%^ING NOW!

I read the first two posts on Page 2. I stopped here.

You, sir, need to be commended for something so well said. We all think it. We all know it. You're one of the first to come out and blatantly say it.


Sadly, though, I'm sure the majority of the children whining are going to rate you down. It isn't deserved. Keep on keeping on, friend.

EDIT: When I get home today while I turn on my controller automation machine (read, thumb) I'm thinking of setting up my own little community with the express purpose of establishing a small community to which unadulterated and pointless whining will not be tolerated. I totally understand that they aren't breaking rules and as a whole it's good policy to allow free-flowing thought, but at what point are the masses just plain whining too much?

You're right of course, but I don't think any of these "babies" as you called them will respond positively to ad hominem attacks. I rather avoid the whole circular argument debate with these people and let logic alone dictate the truth. The facts support SE's position and while there tends to be quite a few complainers who will be fine once they had their bottle as you put it, sometimes a dose of reality is all they need. Maybe it takes a day or a week, but it does sink in sometimes.

Damn it got a 9000 error after the ifrit fight now every time I get in the queue I get a 9000 error holy crap.. I hope I still got the win and aint lost somewhere between worlds..

Beware of duty finder stuff it seems to have hard time bring you back to your world now.

HAH! Thank you SO MUCH for that! +1

Sad that a 10 year old game could code a working queue system and SE can't.

I find it funny that members reply to a thread telling someone there are 1000s of the same thread and that they shouldn't be crying about servers because it was already said its going to be fixed by Wednesday. Who are these people that think they have the authority to say what can be posted!? If 1000 different people want to come on here and ***** they should. If you don't like it don't click on the ******* thread. You think someone after spamming the x button on the ps3 or the mouse for hours will have the patience to search a forum? Let a mod police the forums if you're not one don't tell people what they cannot do.

The point is if someone makes a complain thread let them don't come bash them because they don't have patience or because there's light in the end of the tunnel.

You are absolutely right, but my point is there will always be different approaches and we the community have to deal with it like every white knight deals with the server.

I agree at least I could come back and see where I was in the queue ... But that again I have had errors in the queue too where it dropped me and that is more annoying when you think you finally got in.. But yea a larger queue would be better
