This game is obviously paramount in your life and you probably couldn't survive without it.
No way in hell am i waiting for 3 hours of my 5 hours off work to play a game. You can be sure as hell I'm going to remotely try logging in from work so that I can be greeted by a smaller queue when I get home.
FFXIV has a handful of third party launchers. Some of them were to launch the game using WINE on Linux. (Google it.)
It goes back to the "I'm still paying for this subscription" mentality. Sure, I could just play on another server, but if I'm not going to be able to socialize with the people I want to socialize with, why am I paying that sub? I might as well just hang out with them in person.
XIV is a fun game I like to play. I certainly have other fun games I like playing, but I like them far less. It's pretty poor customer service to tell people "Wait until the no-lifers are done and go back to other things, then you can have your hobby back." I work a full day and have a one hour commute each way, if I can't play the game when I'm available to play the game, I'm not sure why I paid for it.
My fiance and I are in this situation actually. We moved off of Balmung with our mains; luckily we had friends on Mateus. But he has almost a 3 hour commute each way and I have about an hour and a half each way. We were getting home around 7pm PST and unable to log in for (2-3 hours+) even an hour of game time before we had to go to bed.
