Patching is needed in most computer environments and sometimes they are of the emergency nature which needs to be addressed directly. That's fine with most of the community. The problems are the times they are done. Yes sometimes they are needed directly regardless of what time it is ie when the devs encounter a huge exploit that can ruin the ingame economy etc. However this patch announced are NOT of that critical issue and it could have been addressed at the times I suggest below. However it's a pretty easy solution... Patch the US servers at one time and the euro servers another. Ie patch the US servers at 03.00 AM EST and the euro at 03.00 CET. This means that both americans and europeans can play at their primetimes and the problem is solved... Yes it will cost your a little bit more but I am sure you get to keep more subscriptions and that's whats paying your bills anyway. ** Keep the posts in this thread civil and respectful and no flames ** /E
