I did try again later, and then later after that, and later after that. They didn't say spamming the npc makes it worse. And the only thing we do know is that spamming it is the only way to get past it. If SE said hey every back off for a bit and come back in 30 hours we would all be ecstatic because they at least said something. And like I said this is my vacation, yeah I could go do something else. But I chose to do this, and the only way I can possibly do this is by spamming the npc.
