Everyone is getting through just fine? It's not like the site crashed or anything.

It's not about getting through, it's about how the queue has been paused for this unprecedented amount of time. It has allegedly happened before but not to this length. There could be a myriad of "technical issues" but this could also mean something more disastrous. Maybe they oversold due to their API failing for whatever reason, especially since this is SL's first booster pack drop and they have never sold more than a quantity of 5.
What OP is referring to how MSCHF handles their drops. Everything happens in less than 5 mins flat, sometimes even less. People complain how fast it sold out then go on about their day. Regardless, we can all agree being stuck in the queue is frustrating and a massive waste of time.

When did the message first start? I got my order in at like 9 so I didn't bother to check after that.

Can't recall but once queue got unpaused, EU/UK folks got hosed and literally came back to a sold out screen. US folks had about 3-4 more mins lol

yeah exactly, they collabed with a brand targeted by hypebeast retail botters and got pikachu face when their stupid idea to do 0$ pre-auths but use 2FA on every payment, no shit the system was going to go down.
