GW2 was not a flawless launch. GW2 had some bugs and server issues as every game does.

People seem to look back with rose-tinted glasses sometimes. Iv heard some complete nonsense about so called good MMO launches. The Majority will usually have a good launch and not be effected but there are always a minority who have prolems, as is the case with this game.

Just because those with issues are the ones shouting about it on the forums, does not mean that everyone is having those issues.

The large majority of people are on servers that dont have issues or at worst have a 30 second quewe or a few quick failed log in attempts before it works.

I myself am on Moogle, the server that has been most full and spent most time with Character Creation closed. Yet having my character already created before this, iv been able to play plenty and when i have had the 90000 or 1017 errors, it hasnt lasted long in most cases and iv never been in a quewe for longer than 30 seconds.
