MMORPGs 101, on release of a new expansion and for several days after, you're going to get congestion. That's not something you can plan for. You can anticipate it, expect it, but you can't prevent it or "deal with it better". I'm sorry your experience is so bad, but I was fine because I leveled RDM and SAM, got some tomestones to get gear I was lacking, and generally prepared myself for the MSQ. Started it today. No issues whatsoever. I honestly think your arguments won't hold up in 2 weeks.
