I think people voicing their frustrations are understandable but they all miss out on a key point. If you took time off and the servers were constantly crashing during your vacation time, would you be happy you got to play for what, a few hours? Would you prefer a situation like Diablo?

I think not.

May not be the popular opinion, but imo the prior release date of Endwalker was annoying to say the least, but largely because Raids landing on Christmas week was terrible timing.
