Why are these forums akin to a soap opera?

Great, the delusional defense force chimes in.

SE can handle their own PR, thanks.

Did you even read the post? I didn't defend SE at all. I simply criticized how the community is handing the situation.

You're white-knighting. I can see it a mile away. You, and that one idiot. Just stop. People have a right to voice their concerns and vent their frustration. SE needs to step it up and calm the seas, not you.

I don't think you know what white-knighting means. I think its becoming a buzzword. I think SE needs to get their shit together and fix the issues, before people new to MMOs lose confidence. I personally, however, can handle a few issues the first month since I'm used to it. White-Knighting is when someone acts like their the person protecting [insert entity/person] from all of the people bad-mouthing it. As you can see, I'm not white-knighting. I'm simply annoyed with how little actual discussion happens on these boards.

Thinly veiled, my friend. I can see right through you.

Besides, what else is there to discuss? Nobody can play unless they start over on a JP server.

I unforunately can't get on at the moment either and hopefully that will be fixed soon seeing as the game is out now. O__O However, I've been able to play about 30% of the time during early access and there was always a ton of people on. There's plenty to discuss. In fact, we can discuss our feelings about the errors. If you see my first post you'll notice that I actually encourage people to talk about the errors as long as its in general discussion and they're actually discussing. My issue with the current state of things is that nobody allows real discussion. One person posts congratulating the game's release and every reply is about login issues. Keep that to its own thread which already exists. Besides, the jokes have already been overdone and its only been two days.

Frustration and dissapointment. SE hasn't been doing a good job communicating with the players, and haven't disclosed any of the details. No status updates, no root causes, no plan of action, nothing.
