I hate to sound like a Negative Nancy, but there's really no other way to explain it other than utter incompetence..

After having waited an hour for my password reset email to arrive yesterday (second time in a week btw, first time took 30 minutes) and receiving a total of 22 emails all within the span of 5 minutes an hour AFTER I submitted the requests, I've come to the conclusion that whatever failures the game experiences be it the inadequacies with UI (FC privileges anyone?), general game performance, or the server lag. Not a single incidence is an isolated hiccup. It's a trend that can easily be identified and really, there's no excuse for it other than
a. lack of resources (SE has no money? hard to believe) or
b. Incompetence.


Now, I even know what time SE is gonna have trouble sending me the password reset emails, so I intentionally don't switch over from my laptop to my desktop or vice versa during that time.. it's between 2-4am MST if anyone's curious.. But why is the server unable to send out emails during this time? I have no idea.. Makes no sense to me but it's not an isolated incident and I now know when to avoid it.
