Get better support staff
1) Where did you get the impression they’re laying people off?
2) Hiring ‘new’ programmers to look at ‘existing’ code would make the process take even longer, since they’d have to orient themselves with the code that the existing programmers know.
Time is a river.
The door is ajar.
Support people do not fix bugs. Support is the guy you get when you call a support hotline or send a support ticket.
So hiring support is not a solution to your problem.

we are the bug team, its our responsibility to identify them and bring it to anet attention.. (if we dont, we put up with them). Every game works like this. Guildwars 2 is new.. and Guildwars 1 was the same..
Get better patience.
Yes there are bugs, but Anet has already mentioned they have teams working on them and we are getting a large patch very soon, so just hold your horses.
Some of these issues need major work to resolve, such as culling, and I am sure Anet is working very hard to get this right. I’m not a programmer but I know that these things do not happen over night. They take time. And I would rather they took all the time they needed to get it right rather than rush out a half baked fix that only created more bugs. So have patience, they will fix them.
