It was down at launch because there was a flaw in the system. I agree that they have been less open about letting us know about things, but your post came at 11pm company time on a Friday, meaning they may not have much customer support readily available.
The TP is a feature, not a component. The TP not working does not break the game.
People complain too much when things go down for any length of time. Even WoW had major problems at release, and people still were paying a subscription fee despite of it. Your financial commitment to this game is already done.
Anet is under no obligation to tell us specifics on why something is not working at the time. For one, if they were to come out and say they were fixing an exploit in the game, there would be some people who would go attempt to exploit it (ie gold farmers) because they really have no care about being banned before they’ve already made money off the deal. If it is a bug, then telling us there is a bug wouldn’t change how quickly it gets fixed.
As for time between updates, as the company is based on the West Coast of the US, you shouldn’t expect much for PR between midnight and 8 am PDT, which was about the time frame between twitter posts.
