You can learn from your mistakes, and maybe even more important, from others mistakes. That "launches are like this" argument was good, 7 years ago, today you expect a better service, not only that, a very smooth launch, that SHOULD be standart by now, this is just a proof that devs are not learning. I can think of several more, even older games like EQII had really good and smooth launches. What they did that everything worked? I think the awnser may be, taking in count this problem is exclusive for NA/EU players: CARE.
