haha SE is hiding from the heat :P
I kinda picture them being in some back room somewhere going "hey remember the last update? lets make this one just as bad to see if they really want it" and the res of them laughing
As much as i agree that SE is probably hiding, I too would get sick of all the messages saying "why you no allow manual patch! RAGE!"
it wouldnt alleviate much DL traffic, some would go to the auto patch (lazy people) then people like myself who want to do shit quickly would get the manual patch.. But in retrospect the download data comes from some source right? meaning we would still be stressing the system.. so putting the files on two different download servers would alleviate some of it. But most people would utterly choose to not do it their self.
In most cases when a game has an auto patcher and a manual, they are the same source from two different places. However I can not argue to this because i dont know with 100% certainty. Also I do agree that people are lazy and would normally stick to the auto patcher but you would be surprised how motivated lazy people get when the auto patcher reads 7 hours. It is from observation alone that i have seen manual patches work well and cut traffic, so im in no position to argue.
