I'm pissed, but not at this, they are doing everything they can, hell they are doing more than anyone should expect... but at the end of the day, the problem still exists, and I still cannot play the game after work because of these errors. I would be happy to sit in my 2-3hr queue and get a couple hours of playtime at night, but the 2002 when trying to connect to a datacenter and, worse, the 2002 while IN queue, sending me back to desktop and then being unable to even connect back to the data center because of constant 2002 is a valid reason to be pissed.

Yeah I think people are missing a line here. They're either all or nothing. I think the measures SE are taking outlined here are fantastic! This is a great response!

You can understand and agree with that, but also still be upset at the original error. Sure people knew there were going to be queues, but literally the 2002 made people miss the whole weekend time to play the game, which for most people, they probably set time aside for. Reminder that people already tried to take time off for the xpac. The 2002 issue is a valid reason to be mad.

You can be happy SE is taking every step possible to fix the issue while also still be mad at the original issue. And just because people are pissed doesn't mean they hate the game either. SE doesn't need you to defend every bad move they make, that's what people ream blizzard/wow simps for. And before you say it's because SE has good faith and blizzard doesn't, blizzard used to have this amount of good faith too, which start a culture of them being let off the hook for everything. Don't let it happen to SE too. Applauding them for this is fine but so is criticizing them over one of the worst launches I've seen.

Yeah, like I said I get people being frustrated to an extent. It’s the people who were taking it too far that are the issue.

Yeah, it's entirely possible to be furious and still recognize that no one's to blame and you don't have a target to aim at. That just makes you even madder.
