Before that, I would just like to mention that almost nobody reads the thread completely before commenting, most read the OP and jump onto the keyboard. Please don't expect your words to be taken seriously, if you aren't serious yourself.
Now, the most common replies:
"Don't pay if you don't enjoy the game"
That's the thing, I do enjoy the game. What I do not enjoy is the amount of fuck ups by Blizzard. That's why I ask, after so many fuck ups, when are they going to start doing things right?
"They delayed the launch so they can polish the game before releasing it. I prefer it this way. That's not a fuck up."
I also prefer it this way. But it doesn't mean they didn't add one more fuck up, to the long list of fuck ups...
Imagine you have a date with your crush at 19:00 but somehow manage to trip along the way and fall onto the ground, thus ripping your sweet-ass jeans. Now you have to go back home and change them for new ones, but you end up being 30 minutes late.
Conclusion? Well yeah, you didn't show up looking like trash, but you still FUCKED UP and forced somebody into waiting more than what you agreed initially.
That's literally what's happening with the launch of SL. And while it's for the better good - which I agree - it's still the next fuck up from Blizzard.
"New patches/expansions always lag at first, it's normal."
No it's not! Unless lagging and inability to play are the actually intended goal, it is NOT NORMAL. We just got used to it over the course of 16 years.
Now, I don't care if the traffic is big, or Blizzard are getting DDOSed by specific groups of retards or competitors. Especially now in modern days, when the solution is very simple - rent a bunch of external servers for 1-2 weeks, maybe a month. I blieve that's what they did with WoW Classic and the layering system. But of course, such solution costs money, so Blizzard prefer to fuck up and let us suffer, instead of doing things right.
