    I’ve read many threads like this, and I’ve formed the opinion that most users who shoot down those who are openly angry probably have not suffered the issues many others have.

    It’s easy to tell everyone to calm down and be patient etc when you personally have not started in a queue of 4,000, waited happily for an hour until the 2002, instantly get back into queue only for it to be up to 8,00 now. And I’m lucky enough that this has only happened to me a few times, but this is a constant for some users.

    To address playing at non peak hours: when you’re an adult with children or a full time job, some times this isn’t possible. Those are peak hours for a reason. Sure, a queue time is expected, and maybe a long one, but what isn’t expected is waiting for hours only to be booted to the end of the line by no fault of your own. Some people have responsibilities that don’t allow them to stay up past ungodly hours to wait for everyone else to go to bed (and this isn’t even me I’m talking about; I work a night shift position so I’m up during these hours most nights anyway).

    I’m trying to stand up for those who are being pushed back against so heavily; if you’ve had a smooth and easy time playing, then you probably shouldn’t vocally denounce those who haven’t.

    Or... because there is naught to be gained by being angry because there is quite literally nothing that can be done about the queue times at the moment.

    I disagree the issue affects every person. The solution is either you log in during non-peak hours or you deal with the queue and errors. Complaining about it won't resolved anything as they are aware of the issue, knew the issue was going to happen, and have already said they are doing what they can which is limited. Yall just beating a dead horse if you are that unsatisfied unsubscribe.

    Honestly, I feel like they gave out that warning to people so they could unsubscribe if they didn't want to deal with early expansion launch issues. Like they delayed the expansion and announced congestion and stability as a concern to why they were delaying it and they did it roughly a month before EW launch, so people could have their subs run out before launch if they wished.
