I like it this way. Just give us 30 minutes instead of 3 and everything will be perfect.
Obviously ANet want to do it this way and I guess they have pretty good reason for this. The 3 minutes thing is really annoying, so I guess a change would be nice. To change the way people do their job is harder than slightly changing their timetable and make them inform players a bit earlier. And I think that’ll be solved problem with this little thing.
If they have scheduled maintenance downtime I’m sure there’ll be new pack of winers who’ll want the old way.
