Sorry, but that isn't even a "stock answer," it's simply avoiding the question. The number of people has nothing to do with the fact that the major holdup is people battling with idle computers to get into the game, not people waiting in lengthy queues with other players waiting. I would have no problem waiting 2 hours in a queue while SE irons out their stuff, but to simply be unable to even queue up because we are literally battling against players leaving their computers alone is an entirely different issue.
