I have said this years ago, and the white knights rushed in to defend saying: "You know nothing about software engineering," even though I don't know any other MMOs that have a lengthy maintenance time like FFXIV. I don't even remember the time other MMOs take for expansion release maintenance because it's so short, I don't even need to pay attention to how long it takes.

Meanwhile, I can remember many times I tried logging in and had the reaction: "Meh, it's locked for many hours yet"
