I just wish there weren't so many value judgements here.

1- People are allowed to be pissed about the fact that an event which has been marketed for the past year has ended in a dismal failure. I understand why people are talking about the entitlement thing, but the truth is anyone who has been paying since they started charging has every right to feel like they've been screwed over. Moreover, alot of people played specifically because of this promised event. This should have been foreseen (if only by thinking back to the fact that THEY MERGED SERVERS!!!!) by the dev team and measures taken (schedule different end of world events per region and balance it according to the data they have - i.e. less EU/NA or JP players, have less mobs - which is information that any videogame company would be tracking).

2- If going to bed late isn't a problem for you, great! But you are not the only person out there. I go to work early in the morning during the week and so I'll go to bed around 10 pm most days. My body is conditioned to do that and staying awake was something I did exceptionally (and will only probably be repeated for xmas and new years). Not everyone has the same sleep cycle, so please keep that in mind before criticizing people for being annoyed and tired).

Anyhow, I'm going to bed now, and I'm not happy with how things are going. I'm fairly confident that they will figure out a way to make this right.
