It depends on how long we're talking here, I think. If you're called away from the computer for an hour to go get food or something and fully intend to get back to the game as soon as you sit down, I have no issues with that. But, if you're leaving your character sit over night? For days? Unacceptable and shitty to do. There are other people who want to play the game, let them have their chance.
And I know it's easy to say "Well, it's all Square's fault!", but rest assured, they're probably just as frustrated, or MORE SO (seeing that a lot of their jobs are at stake for this to work) a you are. No MMO company is ever going to be "Meh" about trying to get their game to work. Plus, we know what the issue is right now, and there's a potential work around for the time being. Why would you pass that up in the face of avoiding a bit of sever frustration?
Also, this idea that you shouldn't even bother because it won't make enough of an impact? Fuck that noise. Trying to get people be more aware is always going to be better than an apathetic "Well, what can ya do?"

“Some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.â€
