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

They haven't gotten more frequent, but there were a couple of actual emergencies this year and the addition of new worlds. If you're this concerned about the updates they run, then you definitely need that brief time off.

Did you not read the part where I said I can only play after 9PM EST because of work? It's not like I don't understand they must do their own thing, but it doesn't mean I can't wish they would push maintenances to 2 AM.

You can be frustrated but at the end of the day, they're doing it during the JP work hours and asking them to push maint & stay late at work just so you can get a couple hours in before bed is pretty entitled. Play something else on those nights and enjoy FF the next day, you'll survive.
