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.
This. Time is money. Time is precious. Time is something you can't get back and is why I take my own time very seriously. And if people want to use a remote connection to log in and they have the know-how and ability to? Let them. Idgaf if it's fair or not. Learn how to do it if people have problems with it. I do have other things I can play/do, but when I'm gearing up for a raid/whatever and it requires me to be able to play/farm things and I can't, that causes actual issues.
