If you go into an MMO launch expecting everything to be flawless you are playing the wrong genre. You CANNOT simulate the numbers that are hammering their servers. SE is working endlessly to get a fix for all the people stuck out in the cold yet they still complain. Whiteknite, fanboy, whathaveyous... The community is tired of seeing thoughtless posts filled with rage. Some of you all seem like adults.. act like one. If you're so upset with it go ahead and return the game. No one here will care fortunately. No one is stopping you from buying the game once all this is sorted out.

TLDR - It's launch week. Either deal with it and wait for it to get fixed (Next week guesstimate) or complain/refund/move along.
