You know a company doesn't get to be known as the EA of japan by accident.
I honestly can't remember the last time WoW got two patches in a year, and they were vilified for far more reasons than just that *gestures at WoD, BFA, and SL*. And if we're comparing current state of patches... Shadowlands released 11/23/20, Patch 9.1 was released 6/29/21, and Patch 9.2 was released 2/22/22. That's 7 months between launch and the first major content patch, and then another 8 months before the second major content patch. We've got a bit to go before SE sinks that low. Now it would be lovely if SE hired more Devs, but their requirements are fairly high and it doesn't seem like they want to reduce them. So, until such a time that they can better expand the team I am fine with an extra 1-2 weeks to get the patch out. Now if we start going to 5 and then 6 months, then yes something needs to be addressed.
