It's not unrealistic to look at a launch and say "Even if they didn't expect this many players for EA, they had to have expected them for full launch, so why can't the servers handle it." If they can't handle EA traffic, we're going to be mightily disappointed at full launch. (And yes, I know quite well how servers and traffic and peak times are handled I work in an environment where we deal with internet traffic every day, retailers call it peak planning. Even though you don't EXPECT peak every day, you have to be prepared for it).

Like I've seen many others posting, I've pretty much given up the hope that I'm going to really get to enjoy EA. I'd like to be able to enjoy the game beyond that, but right now, I have been kicked out of queues where I have been given a number 14 times. The other hundred plus attempts at getting in game have resulted in the simple '1017' error.

Shoddy. Very shoddy.
