Has any of these ever actually gone as "seemelssly and smoothly" as they always boast?

I knew it'd be bad but I didn't think it'd be this bad..

Lol this is probably going to be one of the smoothest they've ever had.
Get used to it, it's impossible to release a game this big and not have server issues.

MoP wasn't too rough iirc

Actually i remember MoP launch day pretty well, and it was just as bad as any 10 million players launch. It was laggy, quests were taking hours to do because of spawn time and also mobs were all pretty buggy. Everyone was complaining on launch day, and 24 hours later servers were all set, less lags and things went smoothly. Just like WoD will in a few hours..

It's already starting to mellow out.. atleast on my server afaik.

It always does after a few hours, people are just not pacient at all lol

i honestly didnt have any issues besides when yu had to destroy the 2 things on like the first q
