I think I've said this on every thread on this topic already but I completely agree that it feels pretty nonsensical to open them up after EA, since I for one am planning to transfer so it'd be nice to both get out of an endless server queue at EA and not just after that and to get some time to prepare there, since we'll have to rebuild the fc... but I already lost any hope to not have to pause SB to do that since there's not really any time left :/
