I think your a bit dense, most are people making these so called "whine" post because guess what, the other nights of the week they are doing other things with their life. So when they come on to play in the small amount of time they get, they don't want to see maintenance all the time. People can't just log in everyone night of the week. So, no its not hard people are doing it.

If it was a free DLC, a free to play game or something like that then it'd be completely different.
BW TOS:

6. Updates to the Service; Notices.

If you do not agree to the new terms, or to any of the terms in this Terms of Service, your only remedy is to not use TOR Services and to cancel your Account or applicable subscriptions.

IMPORTANT: BIOWARE MAY FIND IT NECESSARY TO MAKE CHANGES TO, OR RESET CERTAIN PARAMETERS TO BALANCE GAME PLAY AND USAGE OF TOR SERVICES.

While it may be true, quoting the EULA doesn't really help anyone in the real world.

Not sure that is the right part of the TOS which would apply here, this more covers them from all the healing sorcs who want their money back now they have been nerfed to the ground in PvP. I'm sure there is something there however to cover their arses.

I'm not complaining about them fixing things, I'm complaining about why the patches need to come in such rapid succession. The weekly is there for a reason. Unless it is an emergency, why not wait? Do it all at once and minimize down time? Players pay to play. If we can't play, WHY PAY?
If you bought a new car and if it was in the shop as much as this game goes down you would call it a lemon, remember it's pay to play not free to play, normal maintenance is to be expected but issues like alot of these should have been worked out in test. Am i going to stop playing SW no way but things do need to improve.

Just giving people some perspective. People always think they're unique snowflakes and the world should bend over backwards for them.

It's not how the real world works. BW knows that down time is going to screw some people out of play time, but people have to understand that it has to be done.

In comparison, SWTOR has managed amazingly.
Indeed, truth.

I've played a lot of MMO's and SWTOR is doing better than most considering its newness..

Not special, just equal would be nice. Its always done to the same people. How about rotate the time a bit more.
