You all seem to forget what WoW was like when it launched.......maintenance that was only to take 4 to 6 hours could take upto 20 hours......que times weren't measured in minutes, but in hours.

We seem to get notification in advance from SE (measured in hours)......WoW at launch you might get a 5 mins notice mid raid

Stop the belly aching and count your blessings. Things aren't perfect but they could easily be worse
