A consideration:
I know that GW2 fans have been waiting to see the new content, but perhaps better timing should be considered. Sitting down to enjoy the 45 minutes or so I get a chance to play after I put the kids to bed and before I have to go to bed to work early, I find that I am being kicked from the game shortly after logging in. Now, less than 5 minutes left, I am still waiting for the patch to download completely. Why not release a patch at 4am when there are less people online?
Just a thought.
Goodnight
