Since you associate with them you're entire statement is invalid.

Mileage varies I guess and there's a whole lot more servers designated the same as mine,hmmn. The queues have vanished and only a couple servers in NA now reach full in prime time.I realize they probably upped the caps on the servers that were full a week ago,but that's it.They're not going to up the server cap if it's only standard/heavy/very heavy that makes no sense.

No, when you have 4000+ posts (four capped threads) of people complaining about a broken combat system (with video and screenshot evidence) and all they get in return is something like "it's a complicated fix, we're looking into it," you're going to lose subscribers. These are the players who are there during alpha and beta, who brought up the problem even during that time. They were ignored, but as true fans they placed their faith in BW and expected the problem to be fixed by launch. The problem is still there, including an unimaginable amount of bugs and bad designs, after what is claimed by you people as an "unprecedented successful launch." People are posting problems and suggestions because they want the game to improve and attract more subscribers. But when they are ignored, and that the servers are constantly brought down to NOT FIX these problems, and where there is no estimate or official solutions to these problems, they feel neglected and played. Mindless bots like you call these people "people with too much free time and a bad attitude posting drivel on the forums." It's truly sad.

So everyone who's enjoying the game and not complaining isn't a "true fan?"

Less than a hundred, probably? Maybe as high as 300 if we're really generous? Out of how many? Most of us just don't care, and you so-called hardcore gamers are ruining everyone elses time. Including the real hardcore gamers that are too busy playing the game to care about these non-issues. Its like only people who are 13 and have never had to deal with the real world even post on forums any more. Geez!
