Stress not over the server congestion and connection issues. No doubts in my mind, a few weeks go by and they'll have the majority of the server issues taken care of.
Honestly, I'm not sure what the fuss is. Sure it's frustrating,

yes the game is a lot of fun, but the only thing that is going to fix the issues is whee people stop playing. then they will magically claim how the problem has been solved!
i have family members who worked for decades in the R&D field, dealing with people from branches in the company from the world over. whenever the Japanese contingent had an issue (that is, when they actually admitted it), and gave this same 'sorry for the problem' response SE is giving, they could rest assured the Japanese contingent had no intentions whatsoever of actually dealing with it, no matter what they may have said.

i know some people dont like to hear that and will accuse me of being a sort of bad person for saying it, but its the truth.

I'm not going to accuse you of anything, except this. The family member that you speak of is probably not working on ARR so, just like everything else, you are wrong in generalizing any thing/person/business/profession/ect. It's kinda like saying an Asian is always smart, a Jewish person is always greedy, a Black guy is always a thief, a White guy is always racist, a lawyer is always a crook. Shouldn't generalize any genre based on past experiences.

With that said, I do hope you're wrong. Not really for my sake, or the game's sake, but more so for the people that would have given up early on what's shaping up to be a really good game.
