I'll just repeat myself too.
You do realize these are mostly emergency maintenances? I'm pretty sure no one was sitting around, making up the normal maintenance schedule, and said "3 times a week is good".

They find out there's a problem, find out the time period the least amount of people are playing, and schedule it then so they can fix it as soon as possible. They're not going to find a problem, then wait until regular maintenance to fix it.
This is a brand new game, so it has a lot of things that may go wrong until it smooths out enough that the only maintenance we have to look forward to is the scheduled weekly/monthly/whatever they go with. When they go wrong, sometimes it's best to fix them as soon as possible.



By the way, although I'm in North America, my sleep/work times means that when maintenance happens, it's almost always an hour or less after I wake up and eat and would like to play, so it's not like I don't understand. And my main is a dps, so I'm going to spend almost that full hour just in the queue, with no time to actually do the dungeons if they pop. I just see outside my own personal bubble.
So much for this train of thought that somehow everyone defending it is doing so because they're unaffected. Some of us just care more about the big picture than ourselves.

And yes, it sucks that the time when the least amount of people is your special time, but it's probably always going to be your special time. Moving it around isn't going to do anything but inconvenience more people than it does now. It's called a necessary evil. Someone's going to be put out, and if you have to choose between 100 people and 35 people, you go with the 35.

And again, this isn't even a long term thing. It is a brand new game with lots of things popping up that couldn't have been anticipated until massive amounts of people ran at them. Eventually that becomes rarer and rarer. So there's no need in complaining about it now, like it's a permanent or long term thing.
