Nope, I'm one of those crazy folks who really doesn't care when a patch comes, so long as it's for the better of the game, and so long as it doesn't look like time was wasted. Congratulations on the assumption though, clearly you have an amazing forum prowess and are leagues ahead of people in their own beliefs.

In that sense, would you be happy to wait 6 years for a 15 gig sized patch which got EVERYTHING done in one blow? No, I didnt think so. You're right about having concerns about bug issues, but did you consider that it is something they are addressing to us now, to show they are working on them?

Show me an MMO without bugs, I would be interested in seeing this heavens delight

^ Worrisome.

I wouldn't worry about these too much, If they were major issues they would not have released them. It's like taking perscription drugs, they help everyone, but that 1 person in 1 million might get a headache from it.

Not true. Any time a solution for a known bug is to force close the application, you're opening up all kinds of ugly situations with lost items, experience, etc. Whether you're developing a game, or a small mobile application, if you're telling your audience to fix a bug via force closing, you automatically look like you don't know what you're doing.

For all we know this might have happened only once and they were not able to replicate it, there for cannot fix it at the moment. So do you think they should have just canceled all the raids until they fixed this possibly microscopic anomaly?

This is true, it may have been an anomaly, but with the way SE handles information, I would assume it was not just a small anomaly or it wouldn't have even made it in the patch notes. Either way, if this starts happening frequently among players & there's a loss of gear, or experience points, or what-have-you, it'll be a whole new big shit storm for them to deal with. And as per the usual, SE's customer service isn't top notch either for retrieving lost character data.

People need to not take this the wrong way either, I think it's a good patch and I'm excited to see everything, but something about a company telling you to force close a program sounds extremely unprofessional.

Didn't they just replace equipment and do server maintenance to fix rollbacks like this? Whether the company tells you to do it or not, there have always been cases where players have needed to force close their game. I think it's gettin' blown outta proportion just a lil bit.
