Shouldn't the pre-orders told you how many wouldn't be able to play???

RIFT, SWTOR, TSW and even GW2 all had issued and people raging for the first weeks or months.

Actually SWTOR had a pretty smooth launch. I was playing it since the pre-release, and don't recall any problems anywhere near this bad. I can't speak for the others since I didn't play them at launch.
