I said it before this disaster started.

I told you so.

I had stated that SSG was not ready to run HCL
or any new content until they fixed whatever U51 broke.

I was told that I have no idea what I am talking about.

Everything would be just fine, maybe some lag but there is no
reason to get concerned.

Still feel that way?

on top of that, they still have not tracked down all the stuff U51
broke and insane lag ... and guess what? They are going to add even
MORE stuff before fixing what they newly broke.

What could possibly go wrong during the holidays?

To be totally honest, given the VERY many players who
bend over backwards to defend SSG no matter what,
many players here deserve the lowest quality game SSG can keep 'sort of'
keep running.

It is really disappointing and sad.

Within a week of going live U51 had, what, over 200 bugs listed from the player base?

This means one of two things (or both):

The devs were pressured to meet an internal deadline regardless of readiness.

And/OR SSG has no qualms letting LIVE be the sandbox.

It shows a lack in judgment/competency either way.
