Someone pushed the button on the update too early on this one. Where was the QA for this update? Did they actually test the update with Diablo 3? I get there are many cogs in the system and its hard to predict what might cause problems but surely you test things before you release them. Or is Diablo 3 so far down the list of priorities that it didn’t make the cut of receiving proper QA with the update?
Surely Blizzard has an eye on the metrics of Diablo 3 and should be able to see a drop in player numbers since the maintenance. People are either creative enough to find workarounds for their issues or they get frustrated enough with them that they find another game to play.
I’m starting to get the impression Blizzard doesn’t care about Diablo 3. And if Blizzard doesn’t care then why should we?
