Excessive maintenance is starting to piss off the casual, non-raiding players.

It's not a big ask to want a company that operates globally to consider and listen to players outside of their own region when they make decisions.

there is another global game company, perhaps you have heard of them? Blizzard, a small indie studio

they typically do maintenance during their normal business hours. since the world is not one time zone, that tends to inconvenience people world over. you would think they would consider people outside their business hours in your world.. but they do not. why? money. after hours work generally means overtime which is more money to pay out.

plus there is generally a belief that all regions should get the updates at the same time (not time zone wise) so the idea of staggering maintenance is a non starter. sorry.
