Bioware needs to learn to do things right the first time around. I sympathise with the OP, because it does feel as though maintenance is being done too often, for too long, and for those of us in Oceania, the patching happens during the day. It is frustrating, particularly when one is paying.
If you play any MMO you know that there can be unforseen things happen. Ive played plenty of MMOs and they ALL have patches like this to fix things usually 24-48 hrs after the first patch. Its easy for you to sit back and say they should simply be perfect and error free like Jesus works there or something. Its 4 hours seriously if its that big of a deal you have much bigger issues my friend.

Really gamers will complaining about every thing. You people will never be satisfied.
Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.

It may seem like they completely dropped these times (took me a re-read before i figured it out haha). However GMT is replaced with BST (British Summer Time) after the clocks changed.

Downtime is a part of MMOs. Welcome to the internet.

If you are truly upset, ask the CS staff to re-imburse you 1/6th of $0.50 for the downtime.

So the solution is not to complain and not to provide feedback, and let the Dev team make decisions in the dark? To let them navigate blind, just like in the "good old days" when content came on CDs, and internet forums did not exist?

Honestly, complaining about other people complaining is just pretentious and silly. If you don't like the "complaints", don't frequent the forums. Problem solved.

Ironically, on top of all the angst and trolling (and counter-trolling), the Oceanic PvP server has just gone down unexpectedly.

Complaining about others complaining about people complaining is better? Pot meet kettle

1pm - 5pm for downtime is a bit of an odd time, pretty late by eastern US times too compared to usual.
