It'd be great if everyone in development had all the time in the world to anticipate every major issue coming through, let alone the extra unanticipated stuff.
Dude, for realsies though? You're acting like this is a COMPLETELY UNFORSEEN problem that they could not have possibly anticipated. You're acting like this server stability, server congestion issue HAS NEVER OCCURRED EVER before! Like, holy shit! If they sold 2 million pre-order copies, they should expect that many players to be online! They can't claim ignorance on this one. It's happened in the past. On Every. Single. Patch. And. Expansion.
