Who made this terrible decision?

So I get that this is the internet, and people somehow have come to believe that they don't need to keep up the social niceties on the internet ... but yet I still find it interesting how many people responded by name calling, implying that I'm a neckbeard without a life, hurling racial slurs at me, and such.

I mean ... I read all the time in chat in this community about how we're supposedly so much better and more enlightened than the unwashed masses that play that other game that we don't mention ... but here some of you are calling names, suggesting that I have no life, making racial slurs, and such. So I have to ask myself ... is this community really any different?

I expressed an opinion that the downtime window was ill timed. Feel free to disagree, by all means. But I somehow don't think name calling, insults and racial slurs belong in any sort of reasoned discussion.

In any case, my download finished, and I bought the expansion the day it was announced (contrary to one reply which assumed I wouldn't have early access) so I'll see you all in game.

We never whine, we deal with it. And if it's positive for us, we welcome it. You on the other hand start whining over every single maintenance that might be slightly inconvenient for you, as if you're the only ones playing the game.

You complained about necessary downtime. Bioware has its reasons for picking the time they did. Since you don't work at Bioware, its safe to assume you were not privy to those reasons.

Did you expect sympathy from people because you're annoyed that you missed one day of your prime-time playing?

You came here complaining like a spoiled kid, then some of the other kids called you a few things.

What a surprise.

Server down time during prime time has effected Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia and ever where else. It's about time you yanks had to deal with it.
