Well technically you still have to, but with this method you no longer have to be at your computer for 30 minutes doing it, allowing you to do something more productive.
This is my method, although not as good as a traditional que (since you have to keep the window up and can't really use your computer), you can still stroll around your house or use a different computer if you have one:
Download AutoHotkey from http://www.autohotkey.com/ and follow these steps: Once downloaded and installed, right click your desktop, move your mouse down to the New command, hover over it and one of the top options will be AutoHotkey Script, click it. Name it Numpad0 Spam.ahk or whatever you want but just end it with .ahk
Once you do this right click the icon and select Edit Script, click the page so that you can type on it and then paste the following script:
f2::pause
WheelUp::
Loop
{
Send {Numpad0}
Sleep 1000
}
After you paste it in, exit, when prompted to save do so, then double click the icon, proceed to launch FFXIV: ARR, log in to your account, click play and once your are on the launch screen simply scroll your mouse wheel up once and your computer will automatically spam Numpad0 (Once per second, this is not too fast and not too slow as to cause problems). Once you are into the game simply tap F2 to pause the script or alt-tab the game and exit the script from your taskbar (in the bottom right on most computers).
Q: But what if I get into the actual que when I do this? It will kick me out.
A: It does not matter, you will remain in your position of que even if you exit, thus you can keep it spamming Numpad 0 and still get in at the same time. And if you happen to see you are in the actual que simply tap F2 and it will pause the script, leaving you in that que.
Note: The FFXIV: ARR window has to be your active window at the time this is running, you cannot alt-tab out and use other programs or it will stop signing you in, I did not bother to write out all the code to have it work in the background, if you wish to do the extra research for this be my guest.
Edit: If you do have to alt-tab out for some reason, pause the script first so that you are not still spamming Numpad 0 on whatever other things you have open as it could cause problems depending on what that keybind does for that program, also F2 is used as the un-pause button so once you want it going again simply click F2 and it will continue.
