Ah, sweet revenge.
When I log on at midnight PST (I live in the middle of the Pacific) only to be booted off for a patch everynight in a couple hours' time, I sometimes wait in the General Chat until the patch is over. Sometimes it's a quick patch--an hour or so--and sometimes I wait until I have to go to bed without ever logging back in. My vendor never sells anything because he gets booted as soon as I leave the computer (the almost nightly patch again). I've tried venting in the General Chat, and all I hear from the players in the continental U.S. is, "You're in the minority where you are. Suck it up and quit whining."
So, to all those intolerant, self-centered people from General Chat, I just want to say:
I'm in the minority where I am. It's still bright and sunny outside, and I have all evening/night left to play. If the servers aren't up for another four hours, I'll *still* have a ton of playtime. Sleep tight, suck it up, and quit whining. t(^.^)
For those that weren't rude in to us non-continental U.S. players, I can say with confidence that I know how much the waiting sucks. Sorry.
I'm going surfing for a while.
