Look at the state of the forums.

Ok, and as I can tell, they HAVE provided the "product" you guys are screaming for. Are they supposed to be clairvoyant? See into the future? Last I checked, people aren't clairvoyant. So, pray tell what have they NOT provided? They explained what was going on a while ago. No one reads though. Last I checked not really any stability issues when I WAS on. And yes, I will be a fanboy for a company that actually cares. Not my fault everyone else just rolls in, and expects perfection when people are not perfect. Humans are fallible. Last I checked, game developers aren't gods? But, yes, bash me for fanboying for a game and a company I love and have supported FOR YEARS. It's ok for everyone to fanboy, but, when someone else does it, it's a crime. So, again, tell me, what have they NOT provided? Other than entitled selfish people caring about only THEIR play time, I still see the product they promised, not their fault there's a shortage, and I don't know a 6 month to a year wait list. And go look up the prices to rent game servers right now. That's the people you need to be screaming at, not people making a video game and doing the best they can. But, none of this matters cause everyone only sees hate now, and only screams and cries when they don't get what they want. I'll gladly wait in queue for a game I love. I don't complain about the wait, cause hey, at least I CAN play. It's not like they charged you and then shut everything down and said ok, bye!

I think they should have had some foresight, when the servers were already full before EW even released, that they may need to adjust things. There was a huge influx of players when the WoW crowd jumped ship and came over. As it stands, I'm not even mad about the queue times, every game has those at launch of a new expansion. I am, however, annoyed by the 2002 error that makes waiting in a queue for 3-4 hours pointless sometimes. I do think people have the right to be upset that their time is wasted. And yes, when you wait in a queue for several hours expecting to get to play, and are kicked to the back of the queue by a 2002 error, it SHOULD upset you.

Imagine being at Disney World, and waiting in a 3-4 hour line to ride a ride. You get near the front of the line, then BAM, security randomly grabs you and forces you to the back of the line without an explanation. People would be infuriated. And you defending SE for this is like someone standing at the back of the line telling people "You can't be mad at Disney, Karen, Grow up and realize that crap happens". If someone did that, they'd promptly get throttled.
