Disappointing but not the end of the world people seem to want to turn it into.

AND YET SOA STILL ISNT FIXED LMFAO. They didn't release it not because it's "broken" i mean..this is BW..look at the game...were still playing a beta for the most part. They didn't release ranked wz's for the same reason nightmare EC isn't coming out..its too easy and they don't want it to be farmed because they wont have another big patch for a while...

But then again...i have been wrong before

First off, I didn't whine. Second, I just pointed out that alot of the whiners are actually adults. And yes, I find it sad that a vast majority of adults in the world act like spoiled little bratz.

Just curious: How else would you call it when somebody takes your money for things they promise but don't deliver?

I did not think the 8 man ques were a good idea to begin with. I fly solo and feel I should not be made to be some sacrificial lamb to some powergamers.

Until they do either a server merge or massive cross realm pvp, 8 man ques are a stupid idea, and even then I am not sold.

That is not what happened here. BW releases patch notes that are always subject to change at any time and they make that very clear. So there were no promises and therefore none were broken.

Also there is no way that they informed players late with the motivation to "trick" them. From a business point of view the bad press that it causes is far worse than the very short term surge of subscriber money it generates. No, obviously they wanted to release it so bad that it took them a while to realize that they couldn't. It's not a perfect situation but it is very much human and in no way a scam.

the chicken wasnt fully cooked. so waitress comes back and says your meal will take another couple minutes. They wanted to be sure your chicken was properly cooked.
then.. (and this comes from being a line cook in my college days) the waitress goes to the manager and complains that your ****-up is costing them tips, as well as possibly ******* you out for being a shoddy cook.

Chalk it up however you like, but the reality is most of the subscribers are consumers, and consumers have been told for a very long time that the customer is always right, service will be on-time or early, and if the business screws up then the customer will receive some kind of compensation.

Like getting the meal for free because the staff screwed up and there was a delay in processing their order.

It certainly wasn't promised, truth is until the patch notes are posted for the live servers nothing is promised.

I would rather they waited until the system is functioning properly than to release it with serious flaws.

If people renewed their subs for something that was in the 'test server' patch notes they have no one to blame but themselves for jumping the gun.

Positive side is, sure is making for some interesting 'waaa waaaa mommy they promised me pizza for school lunch and gave me soy burger instead' reading though.
