How about look at the positive side. The server issues were due to too many players. That's a good problem to have.

The people saying you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Well, if those players quit because they couldn't get into the game for a few hours or the first few days of early access or launch, they probably wouldn't have stayed in the game very long. The first impression should be based on the actual game itself.

For those of you claiming GW2 had a perfect launch, try using Google. https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru...-Start-problem

There is no such thing as a perfect launch especially because it's all subjective. Something that is perfect for you is not necessary perfect for somebody else.
