Want an example?

Guild Wars 2.

Around launch, there were plenty of errors much like the 3102, 90000 and what not. There were also plenty of bugs, that would prevent you from zone completion
It took them quite a few tries, and these were done almost weekly.

At least SE has been working to resolve the issue around the clock, even if you all sound like self-entitled children.
Sure but this is different. This is a relaunch of an already failed MMO. Gaming websites, people, and forums everywhere are going to be looking for any reason to call thus relaunch a failure, and SE is just handing them a reason. How long will you keep calling people crybabies?

Will you call people crybabies tomorrow if these issues still aren't fixed? If people are still unable to login or even if we can log in, not do anything instance related?

Will you still white knight 2 days from now when the game goes live and the servers die again from getting hit even harder with more people trying to log in and play? When thousands of people on PS3 who have never played a MMO before and aren't accustomed to "launch day mmo problems" get frustrated?

How about 3 days from now when reviews from every gaming website start calling the relaunch of FFXIV a failure? Will you still defend SE when word of mouth spreads that FFXIV is near unplayable because of server problems? When people start leaving from sheer frustration?

And the days after that when the population starts to decline again and FFXIV loses most of it's players? Sure me, you, and a lot of this forum will stay around, and others, but it takes much more than that to run a MMO. SE just can't let this continue on for another 2 days. A new MMO might be able to get away with it but not FFXIV, not after what happened last time and not with new PS3 players who aren't used to stuff like this.
