Okay again "Mr. Pessimist" Look at the tons of MMOs who have had starts not just new starts but expansions too. Everyone single one that has launched has had log in issues and every single company has done something to resolve the issue except money mongering Blizzard because they know that after the sizzle of something new wears down subs will luster out and there will be no issues. I was there during multiple new mmo launches, SWTOR, GW2, RIFT, I was there for GW1 launch, and many others and all the different companies were reeling trying to come up with solutions within the first hours and days. Rift I remember kept adding servers the more they would fill. So get over yourself dude they are working on it if they weren't there wouldn't be any updates, there wouldn't be any gifting of play time, there wouldn't be any new servers being installed or new hardware in their data centers. They would just tell you to screw yourself and let you spin on it.Again, please read the linked post prior to commenting.
Nevertheless, it is not pessimism which drives my thought process, but rather observation on the manner in which SE has handled the current situation. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, and given the countermeasures that SE has described, it will not be enough to counter the problems that they are currently experiencing. All that is happening right now is immediate reaction without planning or forethought, and problems will continue to arise as a result.
To be optimistic without evidence, and in fact, with significant evidence to the contrary, is simply delusion.
Yeah, it would be really nice if SE would simply introduce some sort of system to kick AFKers; it's kind of ridiculous just how many people I'll see on AFKing all the time.
You'd figure that it would be easier to simply add some more servers...
