Ok i ll start with the obvious answer that for me is : "this shouldnt be happening in the first place! It s part of their job to ensure a smooth experience gaming instead of implement various workaround processes!"
So imo instead of saying with what u pay already to just give u a pass to log faster (actually not that fast as many ppl pay subscription) to just ask from them to do their job! Also from what it seems they are not willing to make it happen as the loss will be too great! I remember the time when the game was full subscription but now is supposed to be a free to play or as here in forum already stated "free to pay" !
The problem solution isnt the "i have subscription i log first".Solution is they stop doing game updates when they already know that the servers are in the limits,solution is they get rid of all those bot toons that they can log (even without paying what u pay),solution is they eventually do a hardware upgrade that is so much needed and so much more..!
And before u start saying that i aint a paying customer ,i can assure u, i did/do my fair share of paying over the years and still do!
Cheers !
