I agree with you that SE doesn't appear to do any realistic load testing. They also seem to ignore player behavior and make the same mistakes in regards to that over an over. It really surprises me unlike the other large MMO's that SE doesn't have a beta test or public test server where these types of issues would be shown up before release.
