I had no issues when Legion launched. I had no issues when Hearth of Thorns launched.... You can make all the excuses you want, they should be implementing a fix. We are paying customers.

Yep. Legion and Heart of Thorns launched really well. Really makes me wonder if SE wants people to just not sub anymore.

Legion was literally the first time in the life of a thirteen year old MMO run by one of the biggest dev teams with one of the biggest budgets that an expac of WoW didn't have launch issues.

Every. Single. Expac. Before. Legion. Had. Issues. At. Launch. All of them. Without fail. And they weren't minor ones - they were legitimate "game breaking" / player inconvenience issues. The entire Horde storyline in WoD was totally busted from the start and it took them over twelve hours to sort it out completely. So you either had to play Alliance or sit on your hands and wait.

Using Legion as a comparison is ridiculous. Using Heart of Thorns as a comparison is equally so because GW2 isn't nearly as popular as FFXIV or WoW.

Also - nothing SE said on their post was "Deal with it, we're not fixing it." It was literally "We're working as fast as we can - we know this is a problem but until we can get it resolved, this is your best option. We're sorry." That's IT.

there's the link that says it's deliberate. So ya know, no need to defend them, they're big kids.
And gosh, I remember playing Horde, when warlords launched, and trying to do that. Blizzard did this weird thing called maintenance and fixed the issue.
