This is sad.

Launch problems happens in every single mmo in recent memory, wow is just one example. they will continue to happen years down the line, to other games, by other companies, to other players, your kids, and their kids. It's a fact of life of how server technology works. It makes no sense to buy more servers than anticipated because population always drops after first month, what are they going to do with all the extra servers?

I guess that makes it alright.
As long as this is people's attitude then yes, they will continue to happen.
Do they have to happen? Are they inevitable? NO. Absolutely not
Should they continuously happen in MMO after MMO as if each one is the first MMO in existence? I think we both know the answer to that

We've got to stop doing this.
Every time SE does the players wrong, we excuse it by citing examples of other companies doing players worse. That is not an excuse.

But just for you, I'll say "Thank you SE for not letting the servers crash and stay down for a month, oh mighty, reverent Devs... blessed art thou that patcheth us unto more errors"
