Why does everything take so long?

This is one guy doing this in 5 hours, you mean to tell me if the SE devs divided up the work and really REEEALLY wanted to they couldnt give us a functioning AH in a week? I think they could. Blizzard would be able to do it.

I believe the original statement was it's less than a days work, not within a week's time.
