Sure, people would still complain they couldn't do everything they wanted, but at least they'd have the option to wonder around the game and maybe find something entertaining to do while they wait, maybe even something they might not have otherwise tried and it turned out to be awesome. Even running circles around Ul'Dah would be better than playing a failing login lotto that will only make customers progressively more upset.
The fact it's a lotto is infuriating. If I had a queue telling me I would be able to login in 6 hours (Aion at release), I could just go do something else instead of wasting AN ENTIRE EAFTERNOON trying to login with no success while a friend of mine can arrive and login in his first attempt just because he's lucky.

Meanwhile, people can AFK all the day if they don't get a disconnect.
