Rationing Playtime - An Unpleasant Sounding Temporary Solution

[MilkieTea]

many of teh people this time are new, so an expansion is a new experience here

thats why the community, parts of it, are acting the way they are

It's not a good excuse, to be honest. I've only been playing since last December, so only a few months more than the huge wave, and even I know to look for information and to take these devs at face value.

no, it isnt a good excuse, but really, you have to remember, a lot of those people do not have the experience here, and might be used to other game forums, where complaining at the top of your lungs is.. I dont know, therapeutic?

early experiences with SOE taught me not to have blind trust in a gaming company regarding a game I enjoy. but, while I will never fully trust SE and business decisions, I do take the devs here at face value, and am wise enough to know there is likely a LOT of information that I may never know, nor do I need to know. besides, research online is easy enough than believing someones rant at face value.

queues suck, no doubt, but the game is running flawlessly from my experience, so.. seems like a good launch and glad they took 2 weeks to polish the game more. (the login servers... meh... things happen)

Pretty much this.

I think a lot of people are lumping the developer team completely together with the company that employs them. Sure, the team is most likely beholden to a lot of the company's decisions, but this dev team has earned the credit and respect they get. They are as open as they can be. They DO listen to feedback. They stumble, but they are human. They admit fault.

The queue situation sucks for the entire community, but be patient. It WILL come down, just as it has in previous expansions. If we're all still sitting here an entire month down the line in the exact same place with queues of this size, I will be beyond surprised. It's been barely a week. Give it some time.

Or, simply don't, and unsub, if it is THAT traumatic and your experienced is soured. No one is begging the masses to stay subbed and convincing people to stay. Everyone is free to make their own choice is this is something they want to deal with or not. Vote with your wallet and your subscription.
