I completely agree OP. I play at night and having one patch day a week is bad enough let alone not being able to raid with my group late at night. I hope that Bioware realizes that Wednesday and Thursdays are MAJOR raid nights for most guilds.
In most MMOs there are set patch times and doing suprise patches will eventually cause a lot of your player base to leave. Please stop doing random mid week server drops to apply patches that can wait until the following week.
If it was account security concerns, or anything like that I would understand better. However applying a patch that fixes an area that you broke in a previous patch is not something that should have emergenty maintenance.
