It doesn't really matter if it's the only way to guarantee a slot on a server. They're essentially saying "To hell with everyone that isn't me." and no matter your reasons, that's a shitty thing to do.
No single person can fix this problem on their own. But you can certainly decide whether or not you want to be part of the problem.
I'm not disputing you. Personally, I think you are right, and that it is a selfish action. However, personally, I'm not going to let it get to me. I am here to have fun, and am not going to let the actions of others keep me from that. I am very sorry you haven't been able to get in yet. I too have struggled to get in, though I do have a char on Balmung. I've fallen further and further behind my friends (some of whom may even exploit this), so I symphathise with how much this sucks. Plus, I damaged my laptop last night. Things haven't exactly been going my way.
Am I disappointed and frustrated? Absolutely. So much so that I'm taking a 5 day break to just take a step back from it. But I'm not going to take it out on other people because To do so would spoil my future enjoyment of the game.
I kind of think of it like a busy highway full of bad, discourteous drivers. Many would rail against
these drivers, and with good reason. But I just am generally slow to anger. I support Uther's message and his right to say it, but I personally hold no anger in my heart towards afkers.
