24 hour patch in this day and age?

[Chiramu]

I can understand 8 hours... but 24 that is insane..

So you want your character to be deleted from the server from a rushed maintenance? They are expanding the servers for load, and the information of EVERYONE'S characters are on those servers. It is taking so long because you cannot rush in and change things because if information is lost from the server it is lost forever.

Read what they wrote on the lodestone... It is right there. I certainly don't want to lose all my hard work because someone from the playerbase expects the dev team to rush maintenance.
